For those that know our little family at Sunshine Coast Karate, Sami is our 4 year old daughter and has been busy helping us make some changes to this website.  Sami feels that as she is starting big school this year it is important that she gets to contribute to our website.

I’m not sure if this is a good idea or not but I figure it will be a new adventure and lots of fun!  For now Sami is in charge of the ‘Dojo Tour’ page and Steven (her little 2 year old brother) will soon join her as he gets a little bigger.

Here is a link to Sami’s Dojo Tour page:  http://karate4life.com.au/maroochydore-dojo/dojo-tour.php

From the team at Sunshine Coast Karate we hope that you enjoy these updates to the website.  Updates to the 2010 Events calendar will be online soon.

The dojo calendar of events has now been updated on the website for the upcoming term.  And if you thought term 2 was big, then you’ll be very excted by what’s on offer during term 3.

Here are just a few of the highlights:

• Kid’s night out
• Laser skirmish
• Gold Coast Tournament
• Weekend Tournament Squad Training
• School Holiday Day Camps For Kids
• And lots more…

See you in the dojo!

I hope you’re ready, because we have been preparing a huge year ahead in the dojo for 2009.  Those who have been back into the dojo in the last week would have seen the new paint job, and there has been a lot of positive feedback about the new trianing schedule in the last week of January.

One new addition in 2009 is our Little Champions Kararate Program for children 4-6 years old.  Already there is a lot of interest from younger siblings of currnet members along with brand new members getting ready to start.  The Little Champions Program will have a modified syllabus and grading system to help lay a strong foundation in Chito-Ryu along with developing coordination, focus, good manners, listening skills and social skills.

Adult members are also very  happy to have a much greater range of training opportunities, including:  early morning classes, mid morning classes, more evening classes, specialised weapons classes, self-defense classes and sports karate classes.  And our kids classes also have more trianing opporunities and specialised classes too.

Due to the demand in 2008, we have increased the opportunity for private tutition with times now available fortnightly instead of monthly.

For more information about some of the exciting things coming up this year, be sure to check out our calendar of events.  And if you haven’t made it into the dojo yet, “What are you wainting for?”

We are pleased to announce two new short courses idesigned to introduce the absolute beginner to the benefits of studying traditional Karate in the Chito-Ryu system at Sunshine Coast Karate.  We have one for kids 5-13 years of age and one for teens and adults 14 years and above.

These short courses are due to start towards the end of August and are expected to fill up very quickly once the word gets out about them.  So if you have any friends that you have been thinking about bringing along to the dojo to get started, this could be a great way to do just. (more…)

We would like to welcome you to our new website.  If you have been here before, you are sure to notice that we have done a complete re-design in order to make it more user friendly.  This is just the starting point, we have a lot more planned that you will start to see over the coming months, including a members area and much more.

Of course if you have any ideas for things that you would like to see, we’d love to hear what you have in mind.  If you’ve got a few spare minutes, write a quick note to tell us what you think.  Register on the blog and leave a comment.
