Howdy All

Looks like there was a successful grading over at the Melbourne Aikijujutsu Dojo! Congratulations to Sal for getting his 5th kyu.

It’s great to see the Dojo is putting down it’s first tentative roots.

Dinner with Giles

Filed Under Social Events | Leave a Comment

About a week ago, the club held a special Wind-Up dinner with Sensei Giles who had been visiting Perth for about a week and had packed in as much time on the mats as possible. Many senior students turned up for the opportunity to train in with Giles and he seemed positively delighted with the numbers of willing uke available.

Sensei Giles has opened up an Aikijujitsu Butoku Ryu Dojo in Melbourne, Australia. If you are travelling out that way you would be warmly welcomed to step on to the mats.

April Dinner

The monthly dinner was quite successful, despite the original location being closed and losing a couple of guys with bad directions to the next place (Sorry Paul, Dave).

Those who made it to the secret final destination were treated to such discoveries as:

Several people who couldn’t make it to this one have promised to come to the next one, so we will have to come up with a venue that contains more than 2 tables!

Sensei Brett also announced the decision to have a Kyu Grading (Coloured Belts) in about a months time. The actual date is yet to be decided, but it will be on a Monday night.

The regular training sessions will focus on the techniques students require to pass their grading. We won’t cover everything in each class, so you will need to attend as many as you can to be prepared. A full syllabus will be posted to the web site within a week.

We will announce more details as they come to hand..

New Pics and Video

Hi All

I have just finished updating a bunch of pages on Sensei Fujimori’s visits with the club. There are some old old photos from 1999 that have to be seen to be believed. If anyone has any text that could go along with the photos please send it to me and I’ll post it up when I can.

Also, suggestions for information that is missing on the site would be greatly appreciated. If you HAVE the information and are willing to hand it over that would be even better!

In the mean time, enjoy the memories (or discoveries, if you weren’t there at the time)
