22.01.2022 Well done super stars

22.01.2022 Great afternoon in the dojo! Welcome June, Alesha and Levi to our class

21.01.2022 GRADING DAY TOMORROW!!! Its certainly very exciting to be able to run our first regional Grading since March and if you have been given the authorisation from ...your Sensei then please note the following important points. - Be early please to avoid any minor delays and particularly if you havent been to the Bokarina Dojo before as its tricky to find. If you aim to be there at 9:30am it gives you enough time to park, walk, get changed, check in, warm up and be ready for the 10am start. - Please wear full Gi which includes jacket with a badge sewn or pinned on as you will be asked this as you check in and badges are for sale there as well. Training Tees are only an option for classes and are not to be worn at Gradings. - Remember to bring your own full water bottle as no access to drink fountains is allowed for the time being. - Use the hand sanitizer stations as you enter, as you leave and at every drink break during the Grading please. - Please remember to be mindful of your social distance at all times when entering and leaving the Dojo, as well as when queuing up to check in, also when families are seated together and when taking photos afterwards too. - There will be no partner work or Sparring for this Grading as per our current Covid Safe Plan in all of our classes. - If you or a family member you live with are feeling unwell then contact Sensei Andrew Howell on 0407695005 beforehand and stay home to ensure that yourself and others stay healthy. - Most importantly enjoy the experience and let it be a reminder of your perseverance during this challenging time in history.

04.01.2022 Sending out a HAPPY FATHERS DAY to all of our Karate Dads, Step Dads, Grandads, Great Grandads and all the father figures/role models who stepped up to help out... when it was needed. Enjoy your day whether thats some quality time in person or over Zoom as us Dads are an easily pleased bunch with the simple needs of food and fun with our families...also we love Dad jokes because they are the best. So if you are going to buy a present for your Dad avoid Velcro because its a rip off.... How did Darth Vader know what Luke Skywalker got him for Fathers Day? He felt his presents... Did you hear about the Dad that accidentally ate some Scrabble tiles? Well his next trip to the toilet spelled disaster... Let the Dad jokes and the laughter flow thick and fast today...and if you have a great(because they all are!) Dad joke then comment below! See more

04.01.2022 A hopefully humorous reminder that our first post lockdown Grading is next Sunday the 9th of August in our previous location at the Bokarina Dojo. If your Sense...i has given you a training plan and the authorisation to attend that is great news, however if they have not then its ok to ask what is required of yourself and most importantly listen to your Sensei and follow their advice so you can improve what is needed. Sensei Deb Howell, Sensei Dylan Brennan and myself will be running Grading preparation classes for our Kids Club students at Bokarina Dojo this Saturday at 9am and this Tuesday at 4pm in the Caloundra West Dojo as well. These are essential opportunities for our young students to help them gain confidence and important feedback so they can be rewarded for their hard work and dedication during the challenging past few months. Yours with respect, Andrew Howell Regional Manager/Senior Instructor See more

04.01.2022 Congratulations to all and welcome to the Nambour Instructor Team, Gav and Scot!
