Congratulations to all our students who took part in an epic 6.5hr grading. Everyone passed with flying colours! Wear your new belts and tags with pride because you certainly earned them. We're especially proud of our 2 new brown belts, you are fantastic role models for our younger students (did you notice you received an impromptu round of applause when you finished Gekisai Sho? 😁)

Belt and certificate presentation will be on Wednesday at 7:20pm.

We were so lucky to secure spots in Shihan Judd Reid and Shihan Nicholas Pettas' sold out Uchi Deshi Seminar with Sensei Peter "the Chief" Graham. Uchi deshi were students who lived in the dojo for 1000 days for an extensive training program. Imagine being an 18 year old foreigner with no knowledge of Japanese language or etiquette, lasting 1000 days of running around after their superiors, multiple training sessions a day, no rest, just relentless grindingly hard work!

Being able to train under these incredible instructors alongside old training partners (some from 20 or so years ago!) and new was an experience to be cherished.

Tameshiwari 😊. Yellow belt is when we introduce board breaking to the gradings. It starts with one board, progressing up to 3 boards stacked on top of each other for black belt grading, in a variety of techniques.

We missed our annual beach training at Williamstown this year but were able to make it to Shihan Wayne's Geelong beach training at Bancoora Beach a couple of weeks ago. Always great catching up with old friends and seeing new friendly faces.
