Greetings!

School holidays have come and gone and we are already in to week three of term!! Wow.  Stop and take a breath everyone, Christmas will be upon us before we know it.

Our Demo team is working hard in preparation for many performances at the Ekka- keep your eyes on the noticeboard at the club for time and date details and get along and support our team.

Our Vacation program on the holidays was a huge success with 17 students attending each day.  For many of them it was a first time experience and from what I heard an awesome time was had by all.  A big thank you to Nathan, Alex and Nicole for running them.

Our next Instructor training course is being held this Saturday from 3.00pm-5.00pm.  Any interested parents or Students are welcome.  It is run over two Saturdays and then practical experience done through the week.

Last but not least, Entry forms are out for our Sparring competition which is being held on Sunday morning 10th August.  We encourage ALL students to give it a go and learn about the competition side to our Martial Arts.  Our Australian players will also be participating so come along and see how the best players do it.


Have a great week.

Club Disco
The Club disco was a huge success- with about 60 students of all ages attending. Complete with Flashing lights, games and loud music, students got a chance to relax and spend some time with friends in a very safe environment.

A big thank you to Nicole, Olivia, and Steph for organising the night, and the other helpers- Nathan, Alex, Kim.

It is the leadership shown by these great teenagers that allows us to host such great events!!!

Photos are now on the website- courtesy of some of the parents on the night.
