Hi guys!

Last Tuesday Sifu said that tonight’s class was going to be seniors only, however he has decided to keep tonight at 5:45 pm as a Kicking class and Tuesday 17th (2 weeks from now) will be the seniors only (black belt and above) class.

Hope everyone can still make tonight.

The kids grading on Saturday was fantastic! Big congratulations to all of the children, their parents for their encouragement and of course to Damien and Russel – the main drivers of the program – and to Kenny who helped on the day.

Reminder to all parents that this Saturday (7th July) is the last kids class for the term. We will confirm next term’s start date by the end of this week, but as usual will be in alignment with the public school term. Reminder too that we are an approved Active Kids provider. So if you have not yet applied for (or redeemed) your active kids voucher then you are more than welcome to redeem yours for next term’s fees. (If you’re not sure what I’m talking about please reply to this email). If we don’t see you this Saturday, we hope you and your family have a wonderful school holiday!

See you all soon!

 

Hi everyone,

Just a reminder of this week’s theme: Combat Flow Drills.

We are going to go out to 12 phases. It’s an intense, super fun way of training through fight scenarios and the ebb and flow of combat, plus a flow drill from larp sau drill to cross arm chi sau to double arm chi sau.

Don’t miss it!!

Hoodies and Tees are in!! Various colours and prints including March’s Gonzoil BJJ tees. Prices are BJJ/Red Boat Tees – $35; Vest Hoodies – $79; No-Zip Hoodies – $85; and Zip Hoodies – $89. We have a lot of stock, but limited amounts in each size and combination, so get in quick.

Last three things for today. Sunday 15th July is the knife fighting workshop $199 per person. Spaces are nearly all filled. Please get your name down and pay asap so we can ensure weapons will be available for all attendees. The next grading is July 28th and not to be missed. There will be 2 Red Belt presentations for two of Sifu’s oldest students, plus it’s our two year celebration in Redfern and it’s Sifu’s birthday weekend. So start thinking about your next belts.

Finally, this month’s promotions are: a raffle for a weapons pack (training Butterfly Swords, Kali Sticks, Staff and Stick/Staff bag) 3 tix for $10. And, 2 for one deal for any new students signing up – bring a friend and if you both join you only pay for one of you for the first month. If you are a current student and you bring a friend and they join, you get your next month’s fees at half price.

See you all tonight!!

 

 

The theme of tonight’s class with Vadim at 6:30pm is Striking Combinations – Hands and Feet.

Be there or be very disappointed!!

Reminder to parents: kids grading is on tomorrow at 11am and we may go over normal class time. If you have not yet paid, the grading fee is $30, please pay at the beginning of the grading. Good luck kids!! You’ll do great!

Knife fighting is filling up, and we only have a few spots left. Please get your name down if you are attending. Pre-payments are most certainly welcome.

See you all tonight at Vadim’s 6:30 class!

Attention all! Tomorrow night (Wednesday) will be the last 7:15pm class for this season. The 6:45 sparring class is still on and can probably run over time now. Monday 7:15pm classes will remain.

Also Thursday girls class is cancelled over winter too.

You all still Monday 5:45 Wing Chun, 6:45 (sparring) and 7:15 Wing Chun classes; Tuesday 5:45 Kicking and 7pm BJJ Fundamentals; Wednesday 5:45 Wing Chun and 6:45 (sparring); Thursday 5:45 BJJ and Friday 6:30 Wing Chun. There are still 9 evening classes to attend!

We also have a knife fighting workshop coming up. If you have done knife with us before please consult Sifu as we will look at grading you. And 28th July is the next grading and Sifu’s birthdy celebrations.

Reminder to all that tomorrow is Jonny’s Day.

We meet at the Kwoon at 11am, lay flowers at the shrine. Then make our way to the Cenotaph at Martin Place (we aim to get there by 11:30).

Hope to see you then.

Classes are on as per usual in the evening.

I am placing the order for Hoodies (zip and no zip), Hooded Vests, Gonzoil BJJ Tees and Red Boat Tees first thing Thursday morning. So if you want to a) guarantee that your size will be available in b) your preferred colour combination then you need to pre-order and pay by Wednesday evening.

WE WILL ONLY be ordering one, maybe 2 shirt and hoodie colours with RED ONLY PRINT for Red Boat stock, and OLIVE ONLY PRINT for Gonzoil BJJ stock. If we were to anticipate all potential colour combos AND ensure there was enough available in everyone’s size, then our merchandise order would be upwards of 1,000’s of shirts and hoodies.

So if you have a preference for colour and print then you MUST pre-order. In pre-ordering your print options are Red, Black or White, and your shirt options are ENDLESS. You could get long-sleeve shirt in purple with white print, superman blue jumper with red print… WHATEVER YOU LIKE. Visit https://www.ascolour.com.au/ for inspiration.

Please get your orders in by the end of the 7pm class on Wednesday.

You can email me if you won’t be in until after then.

Some combos we experimented with 3 years ago:

 

 

Hi parents!

Firstly, the kid’s class is back on at the normal time of 11am this Saturday. Thank you for being flexible at adult grading times.

Last Friday we received notification that we have been approved as an Active Kids provider. The Active Kids program is a NSW Government incentive to get more kids into sport by providing one voucher per child, between the ages of 4.5 – 18 yrs, up to $100 per year, for the next 4 years.

You do need to apply for each voucher for each child, but I understand it’s fairly straight forward and you can follow this link to do so: https://www.service.nsw.gov.au/transaction/apply-active-kids-voucher

So, unless you’re fully aware of the program and have already used your voucher, next term’s fees can be on the Government 🙂 In seriousness though, we are very happy to be involved.

Thank you, see you all Saturday!

Amy
