Due to the long weekend, the Saturday kid’s class will not be on. The 10am Kung Fu class is going ahead, I’ll confirm on Friday if 9am conditioning and Sunday BJJ are on. Monday there are no classes, then things are back to normal on Tuesday.

On Friday I’m (Amy) getting sworn in – if you’ve been here these last 3 or so months you’ll know what I mean – so on Saturday after class we’re going out for a few drinks and some lunch at the local to celebrate. I just want to thank everyone for your support these last few months and understanding that I’ve been preoccupied with studies and training. It’s been a great experience so far, I’m looking forward to experiencing the challenges that lay ahead.

Hope to see you on Saturday, if not have a fantastic long weekend!!

Dear Parents,

Tomorrow (Saturday) is the children’s end of year grading. All of the children curently training are ready for their next (or first) assessment. Some children are being assessed for new belts and some are being assessed for “Tips” which are stepping stones to new belts. The grading takes place at the Kid’s usual start time of 11am. The grading is likely to finish anywhere from 12-12:45pm. The assessment fee is $20.

We are looking forward to the grading and the children are looking great! Please be on time. If the adults are still training when you arrive please feel free to come through to help your child get ready.

See you all on Saturday!
