25.01.2022 Great class tonight! Focusing on basics and transitioning in stances with the right balance of kime, power and timing. I’m so proud of everyone of my students and it’s fun to watch you all grow before my eyes every week! Student of the month is Isaiah! It’s hard for my own kids to receive awards but when they do they really deserve it! There is no doubt Isaiah is setting the standard for effort and focus!

23.01.2022 What a great class again on Monday night. We worked on basic yet effective sparring drills and Kata in preparation for the tournament this weekend. Good luck to everyone competing and use the opportunity to learn as much as you can! See you all there!

21.01.2022 Friendly reminder training is on tonight and Sensei Geoff is back hoping you’ve all had a great weekend and are ready to train

20.01.2022 Fantastic class tonight at Gwandalan dojo. A quick Tabata warm up got us ready for an intense one step sparring session with 4 of the bread and butter techniques used in sport karate. All I can say is it was intense. I set up another tabata timer to step us through 1 minute rounds of fast intense techniques with a 2 minute break after 12 minutes, followed by a second set on the other side of the body. Having an iPad in charge seemed to push everyone even harder! The urgent noises and beeps seem to psychologically push everyone along quite nicely. I was super proud of everyone’s effort tonight! After this we broke into 2 Kata groups to step through a small section of Safia and bassai dai in fine detail. The focus of the Kata session was kime and timing. Can’t wait until next week team! See you all then!

11.01.2022 Wow, what a class! Does it matter my ankle is broken? Ask my students, they’ll tell you. Hell no! That was my biggest class I’ve taught at gwandalan to date. What an awesome atmosphere, everyone is hearing about the Gwandalan class and are coming from near and far. Congratulations to everyone that graded yesterday you pushed hard tonight, well done! I love Mondays! Bring on next week!

08.01.2022 Congratulations to all of the students who graded yesterday Hard work and persistence gives rewards. We are extremely proud of you all and the awesome effort you put in at each class and especially at the grading

07.01.2022 Another great class at Gwandalan Dojo tonight. We’ve had some new students over the last few weeks so let’s give a warm welcome to Bree and Tony. What a couple of machines! Karate has been in their blood the whole time and we are finally unlocking the inner Karateka! I absolutely love when new students join our family and I’m looking forward to watching them develop. Congratulations are also in order for Josh who graded to green belt yesterday. I remember Josh’s very first ni...ght and how far he has come since then just makes me so proud! Also a huge congratulations to Tony who got his yellow tip tonight, the very fist step towards black. Thanks to Pete for dropping by, even with his freshly operated on knee, and no ability to walk he still wanted to be in the class, even if all he could do was watch! Thanks also to Sally for bringing all these great students to our class! Remember to pick up a second, or even a third class this week to step up your development even further, and see you all next week! Sensei Lachlan. See more

04.01.2022 The Gwandalan Dojo advanced class is growing! Just about a full hall last night, we will have to talk to the school about an extension to the building It was a great class as usual, starting with what seems to be our regular Tabata workout to get the blood pumping, we then moved onto an intense Kata section workshop, working on a 5-6 move section. We then finished up with a basic grading style format for basics, hard and fast, focusing on hikite, breathing, and kime. Good luck to all Gwandalan Students going to grading this sunday. Can't wait for next week, be there or be square!
