Term 2 has seen many of our leaders and assistant instructors progressing in leaps and bounds. I’m very proud of the great progress being made by all our Sempai. The leadership program not only builds confidence with martial arts, but can benefit many areas of schooling and beyond into adult life. Finding confidence with public speaking is very useful and facilitating learning can be valuable in many careers. To find out more please speak to Sensei Nick.

See below for key dates and important information in the lead up to the school holidays.

Black Belt and Beyond Seminar

Sensei Geoff taught the Third in the series of “Black Belt and Beyond” seminars early this term. The seminar was well received with everyone enjoying the challenging techniques.

Sensei Geoff will be back, teaching the Forth session of “Black Belt and beyond” in Term 3 on Saturday 29 July. While the seminars will be aimed at advanced techniques leading up to black belt, it is highly recommended to all grades levels.
