17.01.2022 Hello R24 Students and Families, Our final Grading for 2020 is tomorrow and it’s certainly going to be an exciting morning for all attending. Please take note o...f the following details so that your day can be the best it can. Aim to be there to check in at 9:30am as the school has part of the car park closed due to some construction work there and it may take you an extra 5 minutes to walk. When checking in at the admin desk please hold off all equipment purchases and membership enquiries to after the Grading has started or until the end to avoid unnecessary delays. Please ensure you wear your full uniform and this also includes a badge on your jacket otherwise you will be asked to purchase one and pin it on. If you have any jewellery please remove it or cover it with appropriate tape for your safety. As in any class please bring your own filled water bottle. If you haven’t been to the Kawana Dojo before allow extra time to find the entry and follow others to the hall. Rest up tonight, eat well and be prepared to enjoy the challenge and display your very best. See more

17.01.2022 What does a Sensei do? My Sensei doesn’t just teach me karate. My Sensei is my role model. Someone who has already walked the path I want to go. ... My Sensei is my motivator. They inspire me to push to points I never thought I could reach. My Sensei is my coach. They help me through the toughest times in my journey. My Sensei is my drill sergeant. They keep me in line, on task to achieve my goals. My Sensei is my biggest fan. They believe in me when I struggle to believe in myself. My Sensei teaches me integrity, discipline, and the highest standards of personal character. My Sensei teaches me to fail, and they teach me to stand back up again, to never give up. My Sensei teaches me to show respect and courtesy to all who walk this earth. My Sensei teaches me to be calm and in control, responsible always for my behaviour. My Sensei teaches me to be faithful and sincere in all that I do. My Sensei doesn’t just teach me karate. My Sensei prepares me for life.

15.01.2022 HAPPY NEW KARATE YEAR! Wishing all of our GKR family close and far the very best for 2021 and that the coming year brings us more good things than what we... expected and less time away from the Dojo and the true friends we make there. A sincere thank you to all of our dedicated students, their supportive families and our outstanding volunteer instructors who made every class a win for us as a club in 2020. My gratitude is beyond measure for how much everyone pulled together when we really needed each other during the challenging year that it was for GKR. See you in the Dojo from this Monday the 4th onwards as your Sensei will be missing you as much as you are missing them too. Yours with much respect, Andrew Howell Regional Manager/Senior Instructor See more
