Holidaying in Style
This year has been an excellent one for us all! As we wind down into our well deserved summer break, some of us will be travelling away from the dojo, the gym, and our training buddies. For those who want to get some easy advice on staying in shape over the holiday, read on. Being [...]
Burn Off The Christmas Pudding
Christmas is a time of family, and eating far too much on Christmas Day (and Boxing Day, and…). We’ve got help for you – our Boxing Day training session will start at 10:30am on Saturday 26th December to burn off the guilt. We’ll plan to go for about an hour or so. Shorts and your [...]
Grading Week
Congratulations everyone on a massive week. Shihan Chris graded around 100 kids and adults this week and overall was really happy with the standard. A highlight was the adult grading last week and the sleepover grading the over 10′s had Friday night/Saturday morning. The 6-10s cause the most angst for us at grading time. Through [...]

Survey

End of year
I’m a bit blogged out after catching up on the last few months but I’ve been wanting to blog the end of year gradings because they were a real highlight of the year, seniors and, especially, juniors. It’s been almost 10 years now so we’ve watched (sometimes helplessly, sometimes with astonishment) as the culture at [...]
National Black Belt Grading at MVD
Once again we were pleased to host the National black belt grading. MVD had 4 candidates. Sempai Conway & myself (Jill) for Nidan & Sempai’s Estelle & Haines for Shodan. It’s almost faded into a distant memory now but the first highlight for me was being at the head of the run. A fantastic day [...]
Papakura Tourny
It’s tricky to do this event justice because we personally couldn’t make it to Auckland but our keen team took themselves off and by all reports enjoyed a fantastic event. Congratulations to Sempai Rhendy for organising it all. It’s such a big job! They tell me there were several styles involved and really good numbers. [...]
