It’s always a pleasure to award students with a new belt and a certificate to celebrate their achievements, their efforts and their commitment. Beyond the physical aspects of learning karate, it is also our goal to help students develop life skills like resilience, perseverance, setting and achieving goals, focus and determination. Karate remains a powerful vehicle for helping people to foster these invaluable qualities.

A HUGE well done to everyone who graded on Monday night. We were extremely pleased with the standard of the Riddells Creek team across the board. For those who were too weary to make it to training tonight, I am delighted to say that we had a 100% success rate! We will be presenting belts and certificates next week, so rest up and we’ll see you on the mats!

Just a quick one for the people who are grading next week. Due to construction works at the main entrance of the gym, you will need to enter via the gate on the Rhodes St side.

Welcome, Conner, to the MRKA team. Conner will be helping out with setting up and at the desk. This will allow Sensei Aidan to get on the mats quicker to do the thing he loves (spoiler, it’s not the admin). Connor comes to us primed and ready with a WWCC and loads of experience working with kids. Now let’s see if we can get him in a gi!
