Dai-Sempai Grant Ahier, Tasshi Glen Archer, and Tasshi Alan Stevenson Thanks also to Renshi Sam Oliveri and Dai-Sensei Tony Del Vecchio who helped make the event so much more inviting to the high-ranking guests.
Excellent effort team! Karate News by Glen Archer - 2021-10-302021-10-300 We have to let you know how well our higher ranked coloured belt students did today with Josh, Kit Kat, Deklan, and Lars all completing 50 push-ups, sit-ups, and squats in one block this morning during warmup. We broke them into teams of two - one student coaching the other, encouraging and cheering their partner through to completion. Not only that, after a drink break they did two rounds of 50 roundhouse kicks against kick shields, and 7 x 1 minute rounds of sparring. … and if you were out and about this morning - you’d have felt the heat and humidity. Future Black belts being forged in a cauldron, no less! We’re so proud of them all! #karate #RoadsToGrading

2021 Term One – Temporary Changes Blog Karate Muay Thai Kickboxing by info@tornadodojos.com.au - 2021-01-240 Hi Everyone, Last week I accidentally had a bad fall taking part in a rollerskating challenge and broke my left fibula, meaning I won’t be able to coach this term. I’ve been booked in for surgery on Thursday 28th January and will need about twelve weeks of recovery. During that time Dai-Sempai / Khru Andy Robertson of Spinning Dragon Fight Club (https://spinningdragonfightclub.com) will provide Karate and Muay Thai coaching services in my stead from his dojo in Bracken Ridge. Muay Thai class passes should be purchased on-site directly from Khru Andy. Karate class passes should continue to be purchased through the TeamApp store. I’ve updated class times and venues in TeamApp, and hope you continue your training in my temporary absence. If you can’t see
