25.01.2022 G'day everyone! Please remember this week will be the last week of training for the year, so in our usual end of year class, all students are invited to the first class either at the Clermont dojo Tuesday (4:15pm) or the Emerald dojo Thursday (6pm). We will have a combined class, followed by some games and nibbles at the end if you'd like to bring a share plate (beware allergies). See you there! Sensei

24.01.2022 I certainly hope we have been practising over the break...!

24.01.2022 Hey guys! Sorry for my absence this past week, I was out of phone range, self isolating as instructed! What day suits people this week for our online class? Ill limit numbers and organise class times ok, so let me know what suits and Ill do my best to accommodate! Sensei

21.01.2022 Some great options, I usually use number 3. Sensei. https://www.facebook.com/1736412213283538/posts/2711633259094757/?extid=PrNJAFCGxGTxxZVb

19.01.2022 Attention all Clermont Students! There will be no training Tuesday 18/2 unfortunately, as Sempai Luke has contracted the most dreaded of flus... The man flu. . Apologies for the late notice, however in the interest of community health, well keep him locked away to recover! See you all next week! Sensei.

19.01.2022 True, no matter your grade.

18.01.2022 G'day everyone! Here is the link to the AKF store if you are interested in Karate supporter merchandise for 2021. https://shop.akf.com.au

18.01.2022 Gday Clermont! Training starts back today!! A few restrictions as per compliance. 1. Social distancing 1.5m for everyone unless on the Dojo floor. So no seating inside, parents and siblings will have to remain outside. This will also help us comply with numbers in the dojo venue. 2. A sanitation station will be set up at the desk on entry. I expect students to enter in an orderly manner, sign in and line up. No running around before or after class. New students can enter in ...the same way to provide details to Sensei. 3. There will be an entry door (front) and an exit door (side), for classes to come and go. No mingling of classes. And I expect the next class to wait in the foyer until Sensei can admit you (observing social distancing in the foyer! ). 4. Please have class payments and membership fees ready to help expidite the process and minimise loss of class time. SEE YOU ALL SOON!! Sensei See more

14.01.2022 G'day Emerald! Karate is back in the large pavilion tonight. I'm told by council that drainage works are complete. Sensei

13.01.2022 Awesome news everyone! We are able to resume normal classes in Emerald Thursday night this week (4th)!! We are restricted however to 20 people max on the entire showgrounds property... that includes caretakers etc. And Level 2 restriction still apply with distancing and no contact. The great news however is we can get somewhat back to normal. So please let me know if youll be heading in to practice. Parents will probably have to drop and run or wait in vehicles to make numbe...rs work. Let me know if you are keen to practice this Thursday! I may be a few minutes late due to work commitments, however it will be just after 6pm ok!

12.01.2022 Gday students! Well FB is doing something weird and my posts about the online classes are not being received. Class this afternoon, PM me for details. And let me know if you receive this post. Sensei

11.01.2022 Woohoo! Congratulations to those students who joined Sempai Caelan and myself for our first online class! A learning curve for sure but as per the budo spirit, we should continue to challenge ourselves to be better, grow and try new things. Im certain these isolation restrictions will bring positive changes also. Please join the Central Highlands GoJu Karate Members page if you are an active student and would like to join the next class and see some video tutorials to practice your Karate at home. Sensei.

09.01.2022 This is a great article, some of the history I was discussing with Sempai Luke last night at training. https://okigojuryu.blogspot.com//lore-from-higa-seiko.html

08.01.2022 Gday everyone! Well we heard back from the Clermont hall today and unfortunately no training at the hall allowed until term three! . Emerald dojo has resumed training and its fantastic to be back working out. Of course any Clermont students who would like to train in Emerald on a Thursday evening are most welcome, however well need prior notice to ensure numbers dont exceed 20 (including staff). So until further notice we will continue our Tuesday Zoom classes and I mig...ht look at zooming during the Thursday class in Emerald, will notify everyone. Keep an eye on the CH GoJu Karate Members page for zoom links. Sensei. See more

08.01.2022 I do love this one.

07.01.2022 In the interests of public health and with the latest medical advice, we will be cancelling Karate classes this week, possibly until after the holidays due to Covid-19. I believe we are a week or so behind the European countries that have significant transmission, so if we can minimise non essential group activities at this stage we might get through this sooner. Stay healthy and well be back on track soon! Id like everyone to practice their kata and those things worked on in class last week with Sensei.

06.01.2022 OK everyone, we certainly hope you have had an enjoyable break, now its time to get back to training! Classes as per usual start next Thursday 30th January in Emerald and the following Tuesday 4th February in Clermont! Ill be back to training soon, so hope to see you all back and working on your goals this year! Sensei

05.01.2022 According to a study published by the World health Organisation in 2003, Sport participation was also found to increase sense of belonging as well as foster social interaction and emotional support through clubs and organizations. Sport participation, at 28%, was found to be the most common social activity. So... if you, a friend or family member could do with improved social interaction...along with some skills, then get them along to Karate! Push each other and grow together! Sensei.

04.01.2022 Attention all active students! Ive set up a CHGJK Members page for students to view posts and continue some training at home over the following weeks. So please follow the link. https://www.facebook.com/groups/2593857797524261/

03.01.2022 An interesting discussion between some knowledgeable karate-ka, if youre after some reading. Sensei

03.01.2022 Yup! Our technique is honed by repetition, to the point it needs to be subconsciously proficient to be effective when required. So why do students do two techniques and assume they are done? . Don't practice until you get it right, practice until you can't get it wrong!.... Then keep practising.

02.01.2022 Gday everyone! Just a quick note, our insurance is due. Due to this virus some things have been mixed up. However some students still need to sort out their annual membership! Please message Sensei so he can add it to your file and provide online payment details if you dont have them. With any luck classes will be back to normal soon!

02.01.2022 Attention Emerald Students! Our new Dojo from tonight will be at Denison state school hall on Gray Street! Normal class times, see you there! Sensei
