25.01.2022 A prestigious award from her school has gone to Aussie Kids Karate Assistant instructor, 17 year old Valhsala Naidu. Valhsala has been training in karate since she was 5 and holds a current grade of Junior 2nd Dan. She will undertake her Senior Black Belt grading on the 22nd November. A remarkable achievement.

24.01.2022 Day 3 of the teaching of the Kata Shinsei for our advanced students.

24.01.2022 The completion of the kata Shinsei for our senior students. Let me know any other topics that you would like me to cover.

22.01.2022 Hi All, today we are back with some more training during our enforced break. Today the topic is Ido - combination techniques with movement. Now some may think that this is too basic for their level but if you are only thinking about the movement of the fists and feet, in the words of my Japanese instructor, you are missing something. When you perform these techniques at a grading, the instructors will not be focussed on your limbs but on your hips to ensure that you are developing an understanding that the body should be the weapon rather than the limbs. Do some work on these 4 techniques today, send me some video so I can provide some feedback and I will be back tomorrow to demonstrate the other 4 techniques required at the local gradings.

22.01.2022 Finally received some feedback on the video that I have been posting on Facebook. Alex Heaton, a 1st kyu brown belt from our Honbu Dojo in Toowoomba has been following the progression of the kata Shinsei during the week and sent this back. Not perfect yet but extremely good considering the circumstances in which she has learnt the movements. Alex is in training for her Junior Black belt grading. You can see that the dedication to her training she is showing now is the reason she has risen to such a grade at such a young age.

22.01.2022 Day 2 of instruction for our advanced students. I trust that you have all been practicing the stance taught in yesterdays video and are now able to apply it to your performance of the kata, Shinsei. This kata is taught in a number of different karate styles, commonly under the name of Gekkisai Dai, with the usual style variances. It is a relatively modern kata, created in the 1940s and designed to formulate a kata that could be practiced by all karate exponents, irrespective of style. Please feel free to give me some feedback or ask any questions - mainly so I know that there is still someone out there.

21.01.2022 Lots of kids and even some higher grades don't know how to tie their belt properly. I trust that this may help.

16.01.2022 Grading in Dalby 5/12/20.

16.01.2022 For those above green belt level, i intend to commence by teaching a kata called Shinsei (which means New Birth, for unknown reasons). It is a reasonably short kata so may be easy for you to learn. It uses Sanchin stance extensively throughout the kata so a good starting point would be to ensure that you can perform the stance adequately. In the comments on the video, I failed to mention that the outside of the feet should be about shoulder width and then the knees should be drawn together to protect again groin kicks. Thus the common English name for this stance is "hourglass stance". Please practice it stationary and moving forwards and backwards and I will be back to show the first section of the kata.

16.01.2022 An invitation has been sent by email to our members in Toowoomba, Gatton and the Southern Downs to attend a Zoom training session on Monday at 5pm. I have sorted out a few of the problems from last week and expect Mondays to be vastly improved. I look forward to seeing your smiling faces.

14.01.2022 In keeping with the Prime Ministers directive, all our Branches have now closed until further notice. My apologies to all our members who look forward to their training and particularly to those who have been preparing for a grading next weekend which will no longer proceed. Remember that we are all in this together and, if we do everything possible to reduce the spread, these troubled times will be a distant memory. Stay safe and healthy.

14.01.2022 Invitations have been sent for another online training session tomorrow (25/5/20) at 4.30 p.m. Tomorrows session will focus on Kali. Check you emails for the invitation and sign-on details. If you cant make the session at that time, let me know and I can send you the recorded version.

14.01.2022 This our first video for our lower grade students.(under green belt I would suggest) . It is a stance used a couple of times in a kata called Pinan Nidan which translates to "peace of mind 2nd level". The kata is the grading kata for students grading to green belt with a white stripe so while it may be a little advanced for beginners, it will do no harm to practice it now. Try to practice the stance, taking care to observe the points that I have made in relation to it, and I will be back with the first few moves of the kata for you to learn.

14.01.2022 Ok todays training for the lower grades is the first section of the kata Pinan Nidan. Please practice this section today and feel free to ask any relevant questions. I will be back tomorrow with a further section of the kata. Feedback is welcomed.

13.01.2022 Toowoomba's newest Junior Black belts Alex Riddell and Alexandria Heaton. At 10 years of age Alexandria is one of the youngest kids promoted to this rank it reflects the dedication that she has exhibited over the past 6 years. Well done to both.

08.01.2022 Over 60 members attended Gradings held in Toowoomba and Dalby over the weekend of 5-6th December - a surprising number considering the many disruptions to training during 2020. Highest grades on the day were recorded by Hayley Leeson and Eduardo Moraes who were both graded to 1st Kyu brown belt and to Alan and Adhin Peter who achieved 2nd Kyu brown belt and Darcy Noller who also earnt 1st Kyu brown belt. Star of the day was Namiya Luker who double graded from 10th Kyu yellow belt to 8th Kyu Orange belt. Thanks to all instructors and congratulations to all candidates.

07.01.2022 10 Reasons for Your Kids to Learn Martial Arts. Confidence: When you’re confident you can defend yourself, and don’t come across as an easy target that most bullies look for. Also, if you have accomplished something a little difficult then you have confidence that you can move onto a new level, not just in martial arts but in any area of your life. Defense: My boys may not be able to take on any opponent in the world. However, they have learned techniques to help them defend ...themselves in hostile situations. Learn How to Take a Punch: This is a difficult concept for a mother to get her head around let alone accept. The best defense in most situations is to run, flee or remove yourself from the situation. If there is some reason you have not left the situation it usually means your opponent has thrown the first punch and is on top of you or has attacked you in some way. If you know what it feels like to take a punch and keep your wits about you, you’re chances of survival are much greater. Discipline: This is another point that ripples throughout a child’s life. However, to master the different levels of any martial art you’ve got to have physical and mental discipline. Martial arts give children practice using the body and mind in harmony. Endurance: Martial arts is a sport, you build strength and endurance. Leadership: Part of becoming a black belt and higher is teaching beginning students. My older son is now teaching younger students and this is part of his training. Health: We have an epidemic of childhood obesity in this country. Martial Arts is a great way to get moving and burn off calories. Fight in a Controlled Environment: This one was hard for me as a mother. Of course at first it was cute. My little five year old child sparing with another five year old was nothing more than two clumsy kids trying to hit each other. My oldest son sparing during his black belt test was stomach turning. But my boys have the experience of fighting and they’ve learned it in a controlled environment without getting hurt. (at least hurt too badly) Situational Awareness: This goes along with confidence and defense but studying martial arts requires that you always be aware of your environment. Ability to Assess an Opponent: If you can determine that your opponent is weak in an area you can use that to your advantage in any hostile environment. This is an invaluable capacity. _____________________________________________
