25.01.2022 First class for 2020 at our new Oakleigh Dojo!!!! Thank you also to the guests who came to support us on our first night, much appreciated. We know many will return after holidays finish, so looking forward to seeing you all soon.

25.01.2022 Journeys! Late 1980s- early 90s training at Hanshi Tinos home dojo at Lime Ave North Balwyn. It was here, during early morning sessions, that we started on our Arnis journey. This eventually took me to many countries and experiences, teaching and sharing with many who became our friends. To those friends, I hope you and your families are all well, stay safe.

24.01.2022 Thanks to Wayne Johnson Sensei for this memory of training with Tino Ceberano Shihan and Iwan Pranatio Shihan in the 1980s at the Goju Kai karate-do Lime Ave Nth. Balwyn home dojo.

24.01.2022 One class and he has already nailed the rolls! Come down to Oakleigh for beginners classes Monday and Wednesdays. Contact Shihan Jim 0400960497.

22.01.2022 Enjoy a trip down memory lane, made for Jim to honour our years together at IGK Balwyn.

19.01.2022 When Goju Kai and IGK karate-do students weren't at the Balwyn Rd hombu dojo they were often training in the early morning hours with Tino Ceberano Shihan/Kyosh...i at his home dojo in Lime Ave Nth. Balwyn. A photo shoot with Blitz magazine captured some historic images, some shared by Jim Sakkas below. I always wondered if anyone got clobbered by a tonfa? See more

01.01.2022 Hello to all our students and friends. I hope you are all well, and not just enduring but thriving in these unusual times. As expected, we have had to postpone our Australasian Balintawak Seminar Tour by Master Bobby Taboada. He is healthy and well as he is isolating at home in North Carolina USA. There will of course be other times to be together, but our priorities are family and community right now. Remember, this is the time to be both physically and mentally strong, not... just for yourself, but perhaps for those who may need a little more reassurance than you. Keep exercising, make it a moderate pace and keep it fun! Stay well. Shihan Jim See more
