Monday 12th March is the labour day holiday. No classes will be held on this day. Enjoy your day off ;-)

20-22 April - Victorian Championships, Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre - www.afbjj.com

A page has now been added for kids karate. This just leaves the SPK to be covered, however we are having difficulty working out a time slot for the little ones. So for the immediate future we will leave the page blank.

Friday the 23rd of March has been set for the next round of promotion tests.
Teenagers will attend at 5.15 pm
Brazilian Jiu Jitsu test will be held at 8.00pm
All students are encouraged to attend promotion tests. Even if you are not yet eligible the practice is always worth while as a preparation for your own future test.

A small introduction to Teen karate has been posted on the web page.

The Girls in Gi training Camp for women is to be held in Melbourne this year. The dates are set for March 17th and 18th. If you are interested chat with Chris as she attended the last camp. To enrol go to www.australiangirlsingi.com

You will notice a format change to the site. I have decided that all of our training content will be located in a 'Moodle' site hosted by Furneaux Institute. At this point the link to log in is in place but the content is not. You should see material available there soon.

Thanks for the photos for our gallery guys. Could those of you who have represented us in competition please e-mail me with the names of the comps and the placings you received. Some more great action shots would be good too!

Thanks

If you follow the links through Bjj and competitions you will find a few photo's of the 2011 Will-Machdo Gathering (Nationals). If anyone else has photos from this event please let me know so we get some more images up. I still haven't decided on the format for the competitions page so if you have any ideas please drop me a line.

Dominance MMA have just sent us the latest competition information.
Saturday 25th February there will be a No Gi round robin. For more information check the poster in the Dojo foyer.

Due to the high incidence of telemarketing calls (up to 15 per day!!) we have decided to make our number for faxes only. The fax machine will take a message if you ring our number but it is preferable to contact the Dojo by e-mail to glenn@shoshindo.com.au
Those who have my mobile number can text me any time, just be patient for a response. When I am teaching or lecturing my phone is on silent and I am unlikely to reply until later that day or early the next. Sorry for any inconvenience this causes.
Osu!
