What a great finish to a big year for the Brisbane dojo. Congratulations to Sempai Jo for attaining her Nidan – put in a fantastic effort. Welcome to Walter and Zach, getting off their white belts. Well done to Henry for getting back to training after a few months off. Finally a great effort by Paul and Sue to complete a strong 1st kyu grading. Preparation was the obvious improvement this time round.
Next year will be another great year for us. We will be holding a camp in Spring next year and my own goal is to be a 4thdan by the time this comes around. Sempai Mal, Sensei Mark and myself all need to go up in the ranks.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy and safe Christmas and new year. I hope to see you all early next month ready to burn off those festive calories.
