Festive Season Atmosphere to Final Adults Grading for the Year – Tuesday 16th December 2014

The Dojo was filled with a festive season atmosphere as the 2 adults groups gave their all in the final adults grading of the year…..

The grading proving challenging for the group with high temperatures, high humidity and questionable festive season singing by the large support group adding to their distractions on the night…..

Well done to you all it was a wonderful demonstration of commitment, determination and desire…..

Dojo Water fight and BBQ ends 2014 year for wonderful Dojo Kids….Sunday 14th December 2014

Water, Water Everywhere……Fun, Fun, Fun

It was the best way to end the year for our Wonderful Dojo kids….It was a game of “Spray and Walk Away”

The Kids tried valiantly to demonstrate their kata in front of the “enthusiastically armed” adult students judging panel……needless to say no-one walked away without getting sprayed…..

The pictures say it all…..Fun, Fun, Fun

Have a Fantastic Xmas Break with Families and Friends and Wishing you all a Happy New Year Kids…see you all in 2015

End of Year Brooklyn grading tests Lower Hutt adults group – Saturday 13th December 2014

It was a great way to end the year for 8 of the Lower Hutt Dojo’s junior and senior kyu grade adults…

Spurred on by the vocal entourage of Lower Hutt-ites….it was all go as soon as Sei Shihan Ben asked everyone to line up to start the grading….

All were successful and rewarded with grading success….Well Done to All…..Wonderful Demonstration of Spirit and Perseverance….

“Heart, Spirit and Passion” filled Junior Grading – 6th December 2014

The early morning grading atmosphere at the Dojo was filled with the warmth and support of families, parents and students on Saturday 6th December….
OSU and KIAI resounded through the Dojo as 12 year old Neihana Anderson-Clark pushed himself beyond all expectations in front of all in attendance…
It was an amazing demonstration of “Heart, Spirit and Passion” from such a young karate-ka….a truly inspirational effort indeed….
Well done Neihana…..WOW the rewards of your grading – a brown belt and the very hard to get Whittaker’s Chocolate Milk…..How AWESOME is that…..
