24.01.2022 STATE TEAM OPEN NIGHT POSTPONED Due to an issue out of our control, the State Team Open Night planned for Sunday 11th April at Mansfield will not be able ...to go ahead. We will postpone and it will instead run on our second open date: Sunday 2nd May. As this is late notice, please pass on to anyone else who was intending to come along. Our apologies and look forward to seeing you in May! See more

20.01.2022 Great commitment and focus by all students this evening. We worked on black combinations, then correct kicking techniques, finishing with Kata. We welcomed Sakura to his first Wellington point class, and Indiana to her first ever karate class. Annabella is our student of the week, well done. Looking forward to seeing you all next Tuesday.

20.01.2022 Congratulations to Olivia for completing and passing the sempai training program, well done. Welcome to the instructor team.

17.01.2022 Great News! As of this morning our Premier has officially announced that the lock down for the Greater Brisbane area will end at 6pm tonight with some restricti...ons continuing until January 22nd. This means that our classes will resume on Tuesday 12th January, operating under our COVID Safe Plan that we have had in place since the beginning of lock down! What has changed for all of us now is if we are residents in the council areas of Brisbane, Logan City, Moreton Bay and Redlands we must carry a mask at all times, and they must be worn in any indoor space. Changes in the DOJO 1. You must wear a mask in indoor spaces, except in your home. This means as of Tuesday 12th January until 22nd January, masks must be worn by anyone entering the dojo, including instructors, sempai and all of your students and spectators (Children under 12 years and people affected by a medical condition or disability are exempt) 2. Students will be permitted to remove masks to train (You are not required to wear a face mask when outdoors at a safe distance from other people, in private vehicles or when doing strenuous exercise) 3. Instructors and sempai will wear masks whist teaching until the 22 January at which time we will reassess the situation and advise 4. Stand up bow in only and no kiais! 5. No partner work, bag work / noodles or kumite to be allowed in classes until the 22 January at which time we will reassess the situation and advise 6. We request that if you remain to watch your family members training that you continue to either fill out the COVID tracing forms provided at each class or use the COVID tracing link available in each class 7. Reminder to all students to sanitize hands before and after class (washing hands in a basin is also acceptable) We take this very seriously and we ask all students and parents that if they are displaying any of the symptoms at all, no matter how mild, to get tested immediately and quarantine at home until you receive a negative result. Please do not come to class and risk transmitting the virus further. We will continue to monitor the situation and advise of any changes that may impact us. If you have any questions please feel free to message Sensei Gary or Sensei Lou. Stay safe and well and we will see you in the DOJO!!
