25.01.2022 REGIONAL KATA TOURNAMENT FINALLY OVERCOMES COVID-19 SHUTDOWN!!! Such a special experience to have the Tournament that we planned to hold in March happ...en today!!! 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. Yours with much respect, Andrew Howell Regional Instructor See more

24.01.2022 YAAAAAAHOOOOO!!!! A HUUUGGGEEE CONGRATULATIONS to all of our students who successfully achieved their next belt level at our Regional Grading. It was a w...arm morning in the Dojo and every Karateka certainly stood up to the challenge to do themselves, their families and their Sensei very proud indeed. An extra well done to our 22 new Yellow Belts who showed that they are made of tough stuff and are on the right path to Black Belt. Also a special mention to Remy and Elliot who set a high standard for all and were outstanding examples of what it truly takes to Grade to 1st Kyu Brown Belt. Thank you to our dedicated and passionate Instructor Team for their encouragement and guidance leading up to the day and for their phenomenal teamwork to ensure the Grading was a great experience for all students and their families. Please remember to take the attitude of friendship and support that we talked about into the Dojo tonight so that we can all achieve more than what we thought we could ever do alone. Yours with respect, Andrew Howell Regional Manager/Senior Instructor See more

17.01.2022 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
