“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” — 𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗻 𝗞𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗿

Late Saturday afternoon.
Four guys. One purpose.

Time given. Effort shared.
One person helping another.

It might look like just another training session.

But sometimes, without even realising it, we’re building something far more important.

Our 𝗙𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗙𝗶𝘁𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 & 𝗖𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗲 morning is becoming a great way for local people to come together, have a bit of fun, get moving and, most importantly, 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝗲𝗮𝗰𝗵 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿.

It’s not about being super fit or trying to outdo anyone. It’s about having a laugh, getting some exercise and putting faces to the people we often see around the neighbourhood.

Because you never know when you might bump into someone at the bakery, the local shops or out walking.

Some keen junior students are still turning up during the school holidays and making excellent progress, working hard on their Bo Kata as well as their empty-handed katas.

After the senior class finished, our dedicated Nidan students hung around for another gruelling session, not being put off by Saturday’s vigorous workout.

The 𝐍𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐧 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐞𝐭 is starting to take hold — the willingness to push through, put in the extra work and keep improving.

Keep it up, guys. The hard work will pay off.

⏳ 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘 𝗪𝗔𝗜𝗧𝗦 𝗙𝗢𝗥 𝗡𝗢 𝗢𝗡𝗘

It doesn’t seem that long ago that the Easter Bunny hopped away and we were eating the last of the chocolate eggs.

Yet here we are… and before we know it, Santa will be loading his sleigh for Christmas. 🎅

𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗹𝘆 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀.

And Dai Senjo is now only a couple of months away.

Today, the students worked hard. They pushed themselves, tested themselves and, perhaps most importantly, realised they still have a long way to go.

That realisation is important.

A significant grading like 𝗡𝗶𝗱𝗮𝗻 isn’t something you prepare for in the final few weeks. It is built through every session, every repetition, every correction and every time you choose to push through when you could have taken the easier option.

𝐀𝐓𝐓𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍 𝐀𝐋𝐋 𝐍𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐍 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐃𝐈𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄𝐒 🥋

Considering grading at the December Senjo?

The upcoming Nidan Grading will be held on Saturday, 5 December 2026, and preparation begins now.

To assist candidates in preparing for this demanding grading, Sansára Dojos will be holding dedicated Nidan training sessions on the last Saturday of each month, followed by the first three Saturdays in November.

📅 Training Dates:
• Saturday 26 September 2026
• Saturday 31 October 2026
• Saturday 7 November 2026
• Saturday 14 November 2026
• Saturday 21 November 2026

⏰ 9:00am – 12:00pm
📍 75 Olive Street, Nundah

Training will include:

🥋 Revision of all required grading katas
🥋 Assistance with your personal kata, if required
💪 Working through the physical component of the grading
🥊 Finishing with rounds of light sparring

Nidan is not an easy grading. It is physically demanding and designed to test more than just technique. It teaches us resilience, determination and the ability to keep moving forward when the body is tired and the mind is telling us to stop.

Just when you think there is nothing left inside you to keep going, you discover that there is still another reserve deep within. That is where resilience is built—not when things are easy, but when you are tired, uncomfortable and still choose to continue.

The preparation is every bit as important as the grading itself.

Candidates are strongly encouraged to attend as many of these sessions as possible and arrive physically prepared for the challenge ahead.

Please bring:
🥊 Second (Pad Holder)
🥊 Sparring gear
💧 Water
🧖‍♂️ Towel

The journey to Nidan begins well before the grading day. Start preparing now.

Between a vigorous warm-up, some Bunkai and our Katas, we still managed to squeeze in a quality Knife Awareness & Safety session this evening.

Personally, I consider the knife to be one of the most dangerous and quickly deployed weapons we may encounter on the street. While laws and law enforcement efforts continue to address the carrying of knives, the reality is that knives remain one of the most accessible weapons around us.

They’re found in kitchens, workshops, garages and many workplaces.

That’s why I believe it’s important to develop our awareness and our ability to recognise the early warning signs before a situation escalates.

𝐁𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐇𝐢𝐥𝐥. 𝐒𝐞𝐞 𝐢𝐭 𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲. 𝐑𝐞𝐜𝐨𝐠𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬. 𝐀𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫.

Awareness may be the difference between a dangerous situation and a fatal one.
