This is Matsubayashi ryu Australian student (Taree dojo) Kathleen Rees, receiving her shodan (1st dan, black belt) certificate issued by the World Matsubayashi Ryu Karate Association . This is the culmination of 22 years of dedicated, hard, consistent training by Kathleen to attain her long cherished dream of earning this rank. In all those long years of training, Kathleen only missed class training due to genuine illness and was the most consistent student over this long period of time. Congratulations Kathleen on your promotion. Very well done.

We have decided that a complete rearrangement is needed in the Taree dojo. As from this Tuesday, 3rd, March, the juniors and seniors are combined into one class. New start time is 6.30pm to 8pm. The new training fee is $10 per person per lesson. I hope this doesn't disrupt your schedule too much, but the changes are necessary..
