25.01.2022 210508. On this day we held our first Grading for Seniors - 1 year and 5 months since the last Grading.

Lorenzo: 5th Gup Max: 2nd Gup Rianne: 1st Dan Seb: 2nd Dan Ethan: 2nd Dan Tim: 2nd Dan Congratulations to you all! You all did a brilliant job. And Rianne - welcome, finally, to the Black Belt Club The Club would also like to thank the training partners, for their commitment to perform for the benefit of their Grading counterpart - Ryan, Josh, Curtis, Emm, Brant, Kaitlyn and Ethan M.

25.01.2022 200826. Happy birthday for Friday, Ryan!! Hoping you have a great day celebrating - The MTKDA Seniors

25.01.2022 200603. Today marks our first remote session for the second month. Today we also welcomed Antonio and Rex - we're so glad you could join us. Here's to another month of training apart.....but training none-the-less

25.01.2022 200919. With school holidays starting next week, today marks the last day of term training (....kind of, for some). Today’s heat and drills made for an intensive, sweat-filled session. I enjoyed it - after I recovered! For those of you taking a (well-deserved) break, see you back on Wednesday 07 October ... For the rest of you crazy trainers, see you at Poomsae Camp on Wednesday

25.01.2022 200502. Remote Seniors training. Our cameraman went AWOL during the kicking drills but came back to catch the end of Seniors training. Arnis drills - stepping through the basics (12 strikes)... (Thank you to those able to support remote training at this time)

24.01.2022 200718. With the school holidays coming to an end, we welcomed back Max this morning. Welcome back Max - the rest did you well Seniors, again, went over time and then a one-on-two advanced session followed. Their commitment to training and thirst to improve is awesome Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I’ll see you all next week

24.01.2022 201003. Today marks the last day of Poomsae Camp (and the last day of training over the school holidays). Thank you to those who participated. All: 17/17 patterns completed (I accidentally left out kicking pattern). ... Senior Cho Dan Bo/Black Belters: 18/18 patterns completed - randomised order. See you all next week for our last training term for the year

23.01.2022 201128. Late post. Today marks the last training session in November - our seventh month training remotely. Saturday group shot (1. Juniors & Seniors and 2. Seniors).

23.01.2022 200729. Today marks the last day of our third month training remotely. The last time we were all together training on the mats was on Saturday 14 March - seems like such a long time ago. I’m grateful that I’m still able to train - and even more grateful to be able to train with others ... See you all on Saturday

22.01.2022 201104. Late post (we finished really late - sorry Ryan - and I was hungry). Today officially sees the start of our seventh month training remotely. I can *not* believe it’s November already ...

21.01.2022 201212. Now. On a serious note. Cheating is *never* acceptable. So I *will* name and shame!... Curtis! Could you look any more guilty? Seb! Winning isn’t everything! Emmanuelle! Thankfully video footage comes with audio and Trip him, Seb, trip him!!!!!!!!!!!! yelled at the top of your lungs is CHEATING!!!! (You’re all awesome )

21.01.2022 201024. Grand Final Long Weekend Training Session. Today’s session was somewhat like our usual long weekend training sessions. Combined Juniors and Seniors - check ... Seniors went over time - check Great display of focus - check Great display of effort - check Great display of technique - check Great display of discipline - check Great display of respect - check Long weekend post-training travel plans - no chance Enjoy your long weekend everyone. See you all on Wednesday

20.01.2022 201212. The selfie in motion (The Finale Part 2). Not the outcome we were expecting ......what happened??!!

20.01.2022 201212. The last hoorah (the selfie). It didn’t turn out exactly how we’d hoped

20.01.2022 210424. Grading practice is now well underway for both Juniors and Seniors.

19.01.2022 201125. Party planning during a pandemic. Another first for the Club. As Christmas approaches, party planning for the Club is well underway - albeit in a *slightly* different format to other years. Thankful to our Students for their input, feedback and willingness to contribute - even at a distance. ...

17.01.2022 210421. Return to training - Term 2. Juniors and Seniors. Always great to be back on the mats

17.01.2022 200502. Remote training (for Seniors and High-ranked Juniors, initially). Punching drills. ... (Thank you to those able to support remote training at this time)

16.01.2022 201212. A Club that trains together (and laughs together. And has fun together. And gets absolutely soaking wet together) stays together You are all awesome!!!

14.01.2022 210501. On this day we formally welcomed Isaac to our Club. Isaac represents what my Dad and I absolutely love, and are grateful for, about our Club. Isaac’s Dad joined us when he was around 10 years old. Isaac’s Mum joined us in her teens. Isaacs Mum and Dad met at the Club, eventually married and have now brought Isaac to train with us also. ... We welcome you, Isaac. We wish you a long and fruitful training experience at our Club - just like your Mum and Dad

13.01.2022 200627. Today marks the end of our second month of remote training. This month, we welcomed Antonio (Gerri) and Rex (Angelica) to the group of remote trainers. As always, I thank you all for your continued enthusiasm, focus and fire, despite our distance. Thank you again to Ryan, Teresa, Emmanuelle, Ethan, Seb, Tim and Rianne. Your help is still, despite the training format, very much appreciated.... I'll see those of you continuing to train during the school holidays, next week For those of you taking a break during the holidays, enjoy your break and I'll see you in 2 weeks

13.01.2022 200606. It’s a long weekend, you say?! I wouldn’t have guessed it. Definitely different to the past 25 Queen’s Birthday long weekend sessions but great training by everyone none-the-less. Thanks to all those who made it to class today Enjoy the rest of your long weekend and I’ll see you all on Wednesday

13.01.2022 201010. Almost 2 hours of training condensed into 28 seconds

12.01.2022 200923. 2020 has been an interesting year of many firsts. Today saw the Clubs first remote Poomsae Camp (thanks for the name Rianne). Thanks to those who attended - different to standard training, I realise - but I hope you found it beneficial. 18/18 patterns done

12.01.2022 190926. Poomsae Camp: Day 2. What’s more satisfying than watching a well-executed Taeguk &/or Palgwe at the Club? Watching a Taeguk &/or Palgwe, through a screen, where all students are at separate locations unable to see each other and moving with no count, executed in (almost full) synchrony (using only the sound of controlled breathing and body/dobok movement as a guide for timing). ... A satisfyingly beautiful thing to watch. 18/18 patterns completed. (My screen mirrors the rest of the screens).

11.01.2022 201212. Footage from The Hunger Games-style water fight is too lengthy to post. So here’s The Finale Part 1. Thousands (4000-5000) of water balloons = lots of water-filled containers. Everyone may as well get drenched........again

11.01.2022 200903. Today marks the first session of our FIFTH month training together remotely. To another great month of training together....apart.

11.01.2022 200502. Remote training (for Seniors and High-ranked Juniors, initially). Punching drills. ... (Thank you to those able to support remote training at this time)

10.01.2022 201021. Today we wished Abraham a happy 16th birthday. Zoom definitely adds another level of special to our Club singing HAPPY BIRTHDAY ABRAHAM From all your friends at MTKDA

10.01.2022 200530. Today marks one month of remote training. It's so nice to have some normality during these "abnormal" times. I thank you all for your continued enthusiasm, focus and fire, despite our distance.... Thank you to Ryan, Teresa, Emmanuelle, Ethan, Seb, Tim and Rianne. Your help is still, despite the training format, very much appreciated. See you all next week. (We missed you today Teresa and Lorenzo)

10.01.2022 201007. Today officially sees the start of our sixth month training remotely, and the start of the last training term for the year. If you asked me in January how training would look like for the year, I would have said no different. Who would have ever thought?! I’m forever grateful to our students for always keeping me on my toes (well....on the balls of my feet - TKD inside joke, right there )

10.01.2022 201107. Today we wished Max a Happy 12th Birthday for Monday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MAX I hope you liked our singing ... From all of your friends at MTKDA

08.01.2022 WATCH THIS SPACE! An update to follow shortly in light of the new DHHS recommendations. (A small heads up: it involves getting everyone wet to some capacity (if I have it my way ) - if I can *just* persuade the Seniors and my Dad that we *can* remain compliant. Thankfully they’re around to keep me in line)... We hope to see you all soon

08.01.2022 201212. Our Club Christmas Party. What an absolutely AWESOME day!!! Great weather. Great people. Great laughs. Great fun!.......and maybe a *bit* of sunburn ... Thank you all for coming down to celebrate the end of the year with us. We loved seeing you all after sooooooo long (9 months)!!! Thank you to Stan for helping us set up and pack up and to John for all the great footage from the party My Dad and I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmasand a great start to the New Year. See you all back in the Club in 2021

07.01.2022 201031. Today marks the last training day in October, our sixth month training together remotely. For those who are fortunate enough - enjoy your long weekend. See you all on Wednesday

07.01.2022 200829. Today marks the last session for August, our fourth month training together remotely. Today also sees Victoria return to double-digits for daily COVID case numbers (last seen July 5), a trend I'm hoping will continue so we can all return to the mats. Enjoy the beautiful sunshine and I'll see you all next week ... Thanks for another great session

06.01.2022 200704. What’s one benefit of remote, iso training you ask? We’ve all got no where to go so no one is too fussed if I go over time* (2 hours and 7 minutes, to be exact ). ... * l do ask them first, to be sure no one has other plans/commitments .....and this isn’t the first time

05.01.2022 210424. Today we wished Jacob a happy 13th birthday. Happiest of birthdays to you, again, Jacob!!!!

05.01.2022 200801. Today marks the first session of our fourth month training remotely. Today we also celebrated 2 birthdays: HAPPY 15th BIRTHDAY SEB for last Sunday (you got away last Saturday AND Wednesday but not today, my friend - Rianne & Emmanuelle, to say I’m a little disappointed would be an understatement) HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY LORENZO for tomorrow ... I hope you both enjoyed our remote signing - I thought nothing could ever beat our in-class singing but group singing via Zoom is something else See you all next week

04.01.2022 200502. Remote training (for Seniors and High-ranked Juniors, initially). Warm-ups. 8 of 180 abdominal exercises. 40 x full sit-ups... 40 x half crunches 40 x elbow-to-knee crunches 40 x Russian twists (side-to-side crunches) 20 x leg raises We clap to indicate a full rise. (Thank you to those able to support remote training at this time)

02.01.2022 191031. Seniors. Arnis drills #2. Ever wonder what it’s like during Seniors Arnis drilll sessions? It’s focused, disciplined.....with a bit of fun and giggles thrown in once in a while. Some insight for those who may be curious

01.01.2022 200701. Today marks our first remote session for the third month and a first in many, *many* years - training during the school holidays. Today we also welcomed Kaitlyn to the group - we're so glad you could join us. Here's to another month of training apart.....but training none-the-less

01.01.2022 200711. Great session this morning/afternoon with the Juniors and Seniors In the beginning, I was apprehensive about holding remote training sessions (would you enjoy the sessions? Would you find them beneficial? Would you like the format?) - so thank you to those for asking if we could give it a go. Training sessions are going better than I ever imagined (different, but good) - and are now moving on to one-on-one advanced sessions when the need arises. ... Thank you all for your continuous fire, drive and enthusiasm to train - witnessing it makes me really happy
