24.01.2022 Attention ALL Students attempting Grading at Ingleburn High School. Due to higher than expected number of students grading, we MUST now run 2... x session. All students attempting Yellow Belt and Orange Belt Will still start at 9am. All students attempting Green Belt and above will now start at 10.15am. We are sorry for the change again, but this will allow the grading to run smoother. Thank you.

24.01.2022 First night back in the dojo 2 classes. First class focused on basic strikes and punches. Finishing with kata inside and outside, so that everyone had plenty of space. Second class was a kata class, as we had plenty of room in the dojo. Was great to see everyone so keen to get back into training.

24.01.2022 Big turnout tonight as we hosted sensei Ashley. We worked through some combinations then put it to work we some speed competition against partners. The it was onto kata to finish the night off. Thank you to everyone for coming tonight and all the effort you all put in every week

22.01.2022 Great energy in class tonight. Main focus was on block/ counter for points sparing to start with, either with a partner or into the kick shield. Then we moved onto some grappling work to finish off. This continued into the second class, while some students worked on their grading format. Good luck to all Wattle Grove students this weekend

21.01.2022 Perfect night to open up and work outside tonight. Sensei Pat had everyone warm up outside. Then everyone split into groups. White and yellow belts stayed outside and worked on defence using the noodles. Orange and green belts started on kata. Higher grades kicked the bags, technique then into tabata work to get the heart rate up. ... After a break the kata and bag groups swapped. After a few kata rounds for each grade it was core work to finish the night off. See more

21.01.2022 Sensei Pat had the night off, so senseis Brendan and Ruth took the warm up After that it was into basics and combinations. Then everyone partnered up and we started to work on sparing skills. Strike speed was focused on with the slower one having to do a push up!

Great to see all the new belt colour in the dojo tonight.

21.01.2022 The kids were outside enjoying having sensei Pat run them all around for the first part of the night The teenagers and adults were inside with a night focused on kata. Working from 1st kata through to saifa. Starting off with exaggerating stances to get a stretch and then speed to get a sweat going. After a break kids worked on combinations while the older group put the focus mitts on do some cardio work. To finish off everyone worked through kata.
