🙏 A HUGE THANK YOU

A grading of this size simply could not happen without the incredible support of our Instructors, Students and Black Belts.

Thank you to everyone who helped set up the hall, organise the students, run line-ups, hold breaking boards, partner students up, participate in sparring and one-step sparring, and assist wherever needed throughout the day.

To all of our Senior Students, Instructors and Black Belts — thank you for giving your time, knowledge and support to help the next generation of ADT students succeed.

That's what makes our club special. ❤️💛🖤

🎥 SPECIAL MENTION — VIKTOR LITVIN

And finally, a very special thank you to Viktor Litvin for his ongoing consistency in filming our gradings, putting together some seriously cool videos and sharing them with us.

Your effort in capturing these moments gives our students memories they can look back on for years to come — and we really appreciate everything you do. 🎥🥋👏

From Master Instructor Joe, and on behalf of Chief Instructor Megan, Instructor Rob and Instructor Shardae, congratulations to every Student who graded today.

Be proud. Keep training. Keep learning. Keep growing.

To my delight, three of my students, walked in proudly wearing their ADT shirts as their favourite team.

Thank you Kora, Skyler and Finley - you guys are superstars!

❄️ Winter School Holiday Class Closures ❄️

The following children’s classes will be closed for the June/July School Holidays - if your regular Dojang is NOT listed below it will be running as usual.

All classes will resume first week back of Term 3, 2026 as we prepare for our August grading.

These holidays are a great time to check your child’s uniform size so new ones can be ordered - they can take a couple of weeks to arrive, so please keep that in mind. Pants need to be ankle length and jackets need to be wrist length with the base of the jacket below their hips/bottom.

If you are going away for the Winter break, have a wonderful time, be safe - remember your situational awareness- we can’t wait to hear about your adventures upon your return.

See you in class,

Carbrook Dojang graded!

Congratulations to these awesome kids that worked their butts off this term and successfully achieved their next rank.

We had a big white belt contingency come through and they are all proud owners of their very first coloured belt. They have absolutely hit the ground running.

I am so proud of you all my warriors, I’m very excited to watch you grow over the next term.

You are all my favorite way to spend a Friday afternoon - even if some of you think my age begins with a 7 😳

Keep reaching for the stars my cool Carbrook kids ⭐️

Home court advantage TeamOrmeau 🙌🏻

Well done to my OG class - where it all started for me 11 years ago - Ormeau Dojang.

Congratulations to these outstanding group of kids and adults that graded last weekend. You have all worked so hard this term and it showed on Sunday - we’ve had it all - white belts grading for the first time, juniors moving up to seniors, new Prep belts and new Black belts - I’m so proud of you all.

Friday nights in the Ormeau Dojang is the perfect way to finish the week.

Keep reaching for the stars ⭐️

ChattyHills GRADED ⭐️

Huge congratulations to all my CH Kids on their outstanding effort at grading last weekend. From our tiny white belts through to our senior colour belts, you showed us how determined and brave you are.

Special congratulations to Ayda on her successful completion of the transition program - I’ve loved watching you blossom these last 12 months Ayda. Your confidence has grown so much - I love how you break things down and try out everything. You always come in to class with a big beautiful smile and are a great role model for the younger ones. Well done Ayda!

Congratulations to Evander on his most excellent board break - well done buddy! You nailed it 🙌🏻

Team ChattyHills is happily settling into our new space and have had some awesome new kids join our Thursday night family.

I am so proud of you all - well done my warriors. One of my favorite places to be on a Thursday night is with you all.
