Just a reminder that kyu (coloured belt) grading this week. It will be Monday and Wednesday during normal class times.

If you only train Monday, then this will be your grading session.

If you train both, then Wednesday be a better option as we have more time.

All going well, presentations will be next week.

Any questions, let us know

As promised, some photo's from the hugely successful Gasshuku held in Port Nelson, Stephens Bay Australia hosted by Tino Rossi and his Dojo's. Some serious fun was had as well as some serious learning- a lot to unpack, reflect on and share. So much knowledge freely shared by everyone.
We are very grateful to Tino for organising and Gima & Kinjo Sensei for giving their time to share a snippet of what they have learned. Very inspiring.
