The Dojo 道場

After grading in August, my Certificate & Belt finally arrived in Yarrawonga tonight all the way from Okinawa! Feeling very humbled... With my name & Kobudo system embroidered in gold characters ūüĎĆ
3 black belts, 3 systems of Martial Arts, 3 journeys converging into one after 18 years of continuous training ūü•č‚̧ūüôŹ

Thank you all for an amazing first week back! Welcome to all of our new and returning members. Set your goals high, then match that height with your kicks ūüĎĆ

As parents we always check if the coaches, teachers and mentors for our children are competent in First Aid... However, are you neglecting a vital component of your risk management strategy? ūü§Ēūü§Ēūü§Ē
Mental health is becoming an area that we are now understanding and accepting as extraordinarily important, particularly for young people! Evidence shows that childhood trauma has a massive impact on cognitive function and physiology of the brain.
Lesson: Check the credentials of who ...you leave your children with - They are having a bigger impact than you might think ūüĎĆūü•čūüôŹ

Well done on your official promotion Taylah!
Taylah has been training in Shito Ryu Karate with us for 4 years. She started in our junior classes, moved up to our senior classes and now trains with the adults, while helping to instruct our juniors. Taylah spends 3 hours plus each Monday and Wednesday afternoon at our dojo. Taylah has now also begun training in Kobudo, the ancient art of weapons! Taylah is a valued member of our dojo and loved by all of the kiddies that she supports.
„Ā©„ĀÜ„āā„Āā„āä„ĀĆ„Ā®„ĀÜ DŇćmo arigatŇć Taylah!

ALL CLASSES START BACK TOMORROW (Monday 8th Oct)!
We have a big term planned @ YMA and we would love to see you there. New and returning members are always very welcome ūüĎĆūü•äūü•č

What happened in the UFC today is not Martial Arts... This "sport" is leaving an extremely negative image for such a positive pursuit!
I promise that no one will ever spring from our mats & attack a spectator. Similarly, nobody will ever jump onto the mats & attack one of our students.
**Real Martial Arts = Respect ūüôŹ** #YMA
