Such a wonderful weekend at the Shorinryu-Shorinkan South African National Championships this weekend. 🥋
An ice breaker Competition for all of my students and a big one for their first time competing. 👊
Saku Dojo took away 1 gold🏅, 2 silvers 🥈🥈 and 2 bronze medals🥉🥉.
We also took away a heap of learnings, experience and memories and I could not be prouder of my students. I’m so excited to see them continue to grow.
Just putting oneself out there takes courage on its own and I can honestly say to all my students that you are all inspiring.

Thank you Renshi for stepping in and helping out with my classes. These kids are so lucky to get some time with you in the dojo! 👊

When you’re 39 weeks and 3 days pregnant but you’re also a sensei … the journey doesn’t stop but these kiddies make it easy to be present and even a surprise baby party before baba arrives in the next few days!! 🤗

Can’t wait to see some yellow belts on these kids end of the month. 🥋👊
