ANZAC Day

We are closed on Tuesday for ANZAC Day. Whatever RnR you partake in, remember to spare a thought for those – past, present and future – who have put their lives on the line for all that we hold sacred. WAR is such a loaded word but war is not what this is about. As the late Bill Hicks said “for the troops, against the war” – always for the troops – whatever your political and ethical standing is, acknowledge the gravity of the sacrifice these men and women have made. Spare a thought for them all on Tuesday.

Have a great weekend! We are painting the school today and tomorrow but classes are on as usual, although BJJ guys so you know, we will be aiming to start prepping for paining at 11am. Thanks in advance to everyone who is helping!

Great Class Planned for Tonight!

Aren’t they all though? Seriously, Sifu has a great foundation class planned for tonight. We touched on it yesterday in the 6pm class and will be expanding on it today so hope to see you all in.

This weekend we are painting the school and are still looking for volunteers, so if you can help please let us know by either emailing, texting, or putting your name down on the list at reception.

Hope you all had a great Easter break! We know many of you are still in holiday mode with your children but great to see you still keeping up with your training.

Quick reminder, all lunch classes are 45mins but you can stay before or after to do your own training.

See you soon!

Amy

Hi guys and girls,

Sifu and I are on holiday this week, so we have the wonderful Damien, Frances, (big) Pete, Mayur, Walid, Alex and March taking classes while we are away. This week’s theme is on takedowns. So have some fun with it!

The morning classes are only operational on Tuesday and Thursday, Thursday’s being open mat so do your own training. Will let you know if there are any changes.

We have some people booked in for trial classes, mostly in the evening, so please make everyone feel welcome and at home (I know you will!)

If you need to pay for anything please pay cash and write a note for what it’s for and who it’s from and I’ll adjust everything when I return.

Reception’s not great here so text or email is best if you need to contact us.

Thanks guys! Have a super week!

Grading Starts 10am this Saturday 25th March!

KIDS CLASS STARTS AT 9AM, GRADING STARTS AFTERWARD.

So parents, rather than cancelling the kids class it is on early.

Get in early! Pack your bag the night before, warm up before the grading to burn out excess nerves and be ready to go!

You’ve all been working hard so will all do great on the day. Thank you to everyone who’s not grading but have helped you get this far. If you’re not grading on Saturday please come as it’s a fun event.

BJJ guys graded earlier today and looked fantastic, all belt presentations will be on Saturday.

Good luck!

See you all then.

Forms Workshop Next Sunday 19th March, Only 2 Weeks to Grading!

Next Sunday Sifu will be doing a 3 hour Workshop on all 3 empty hand forms. Starting at 10:30am – so still time to do BJJ first – and costing only $40! The following Saturday is our Autumn Grading…so this will be a great opportunity to flesh out the details and sharpen up your forms.

Sifu will be in Mackay next week, but we have all classes covered and all instructors know that all classes must have grading prep in all classes. Even if you are not grading, be here to help each other prep as you’ll want the same when it’s your turn.

The Grading Day is also considered an Open Day, so friends, family, locals and all are welcome to come and watch as it’s always an exciting experience .

Sifu’s latest video was on the 3 M’s of Combat. Remember to “like” the video! And subscribe to our channel if you haven’t already!

Have a great weekend!
