18.01.2022 COVID-19 DOJO CLOSURES A MESSAGE FROM THE AOGKF EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE As you are all very well aware the COVID-19 virus has shut down most of normal life as we k...now it and that means that we are not allowed to train inside any of our Dojo's effective immediately. Our Executive Committee wants to assure all AOGKF members that we are working on ways to still be able to train within the legal requirements. We realise that our normal Dojo training is no longer an option. Soon we are going to start using a system that has been around for a while called the 'virtual Dojo'. The virtual Dojo is where the student will log online and be able to progress their individual training using the internet. By completing the classes online, a student will still be able to sit for an assessment and grading, but online. We don’t exactly know how long it will take to implement but I can assure you all that we are working as hard as we can to get this system up and running as soon as possible. For information regarding individual Dojo's, please contact your instructor directly. As is probably clear to you all, the NSW, QLD & VIC State Gasshuku's will no longer run over the next two weeks. Further information will be posted as matters progress. We wish you good health and happiness over the coming months. Yours truly AOGKF Executive Committee

17.01.2022 Happy New Year! May 2020 be filled with great adventures, growth and fun! We look forward to opening our dojo doors for the new year soon!

09.01.2022 The teen and adult class getting to know their new chisi - a traditional Okinawan training tool to develop strong forearms, shoulders and back muscles!

09.01.2022 No class today! The current coronavirus/COVID-19 health threat is forcing us to rethink the way we practice the karate we love. There will be no classes at the YMCA until further notice.... But: this doesn't mean that we're going to stop training! Together with AOGKF instructors all across Australia, we are looking into conducting our classes online. Watch this space for some very exciting information about this opportunity. Let's all be safe and take this virus seriously, but let's also be thankful that we have the technology to keep training hard! Talk to you soon Fritz

09.01.2022 Keeping up your karate training? Remember our dojo kun: practice daily. This photo is of our founder, Chojun Miyagi, instructing a group of students. Their "dojo" was outside! Some of them are wearing their karate uniforms, but some are just training in their regular clothes. You can practice all your karate techniques at home. As long as you have a bit of space so you're not knocking anything over, you're good to go!... Set yourself a goal of 100 chest punches and 100 front kicks a day. And if you have energy left after that, do it again. Add some push-ups and squat kicks for flavour. The AOGKF's "virtual dojo" plans are coming along nicely and soon you'll be able to follow a complete class on your phone, tablet or laptop. Until then, stay safe and keep fit.

09.01.2022 See you all for our online classes this evening - kids @ 17:00, teens/adults @ 17:45. This is an excellent reflection by our International Chief Instructor. No matter where or who we train with, traditional karate gives us the tools to become persons of courage, discipline and humility. See you later!

09.01.2022 It is a chilly and rainy Wednesday, but we are excited to see all our students at class at 17:00. Come with lots of energy and a warm jacket to beat the cold! See you later!

09.01.2022 We're back! Are you excited for today's face to face classes at the YMCA? Remember your uniform and your water bottle and get ready to have some fun! Kids class 17:00 - 17:45 and teens/adults 18:00 - 19:00.
