25.01.2022 GRADING DAY TOMORROW!!! It’s 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 haven’t been to the Bokarina Dojo before as it’s 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.

25.01.2022 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 that’s 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 it’s 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

24.01.2022 ALL OUR CLASSES ARE BACK AS PER TIMETABLE FROM TONIGHT! With the lifting of the lockdown in the Moreton Bay Council area we are able to reopen with the followin...g provisions in place to ensure everyone stays healthy and happy for the next 2 weeks. - All students 13 and over must wear a mask when entering and exiting the Dojo as well as during the sign in process. Masks can be removed whilst training as Karate is certainly strenuous exercise. - All students and instructors to maintain the 1.5 metre social distance gap during class and also during drink breaks. - Parents who do not train that stay in the hall must wear a mask at all times. - Please use the hand sanitizer provided before and after class as well as during drink breaks. - No partner work, sparring or kick shield work to take place. - If you are feeling unwell then please do not attend and seek medical advice. Thank you in advance as we are so happy that we can return to have all of our classes open again as Karate is a important part of all of our lives. Also please remember our classes will be running on Good Friday and over ALL OF THE SCHOOL HOLIDAYS AS WELL. Stay healthy and stay AWESOME. See more

23.01.2022 Easy to see the link between the lessons in the Dojo and how they benefit us in everyday life if we choose to listen, learn and grow.

23.01.2022 Hello R24 Karateka, You may have heard the rumour and it’s true as our next Grading has been confirmed for Sunday the 9th of August at 10am in the Bokarina Dojo.... Feel free to talk with your Sensei regarding what is required from yourself so you can qualify to attempt your next belt level. As Instructor and Student share the path together and they share the obligation to grow together as well. See more

23.01.2022 The most dangerous enemy is the one inside your head that tells you you're not good enough, you can't do it, it's impossible! In order to defeat this enemy, you... must flick the switch and tell yourself; You ARE enough You CAN do it ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE! Once you change the narrative inside your head, everything else begins to change! Isn't it time you started being kind to yourself? #changethenarrative #youareenough #youcandoit #anythingispossible #flicktheswitch #bekindtoyourself #defeattheenemywithin

22.01.2022 With only 13 days to our first Grading for 2021 it certainly is time to talk with your Sensei if you haven’t already done so as they will point you in the right... direction. It is then up to you the student(and we appreciate parents support too) to listen to what they say and most importantly do the hard work and put the changes in that are necessary for growth and development.

22.01.2022 CONGRATULATIONS!!! ABSOLUTE AWESOMENESS!!! A MASSIVE WELL DONE to all of our students who successfully graded to their next belt level today at our f...irst Grading in 5 months.

A HUGE THANK YOU to all of our outstanding instructors for their commitment and compassion to help their students prepare for today and for assisting to make the event such a success for all present.

It was certainly a morning full of smiles, camaraderie, sportsmanship, awesome Karate and LOTS of medals. A MASSIVE THANK YOU to all of our dedicated Instructors and Officials who made the day the AWESOME success that it was for everyone involved. It was our first time running this style of Kata Round Robin Tournament and it was great to see how much the competitors and judges enjoyed the minimum 3 rounds per entrant as it made for some very close decisions in the medal tally. Well done to all of our competitors as the standard was solid across all divisions and particularly amongst our younger first timers and our Junior Team Kata entrants who were AWESOME in their focus and encouragement of one another. Whether you won a medal or did your best version of a Kata that you have before take that positive to class tomorrow night and hold your head a little higher in a humble way.
