Due to the low number of registrations for the camp I have decided to postpone it until later in the year. The purpose of the camp is to get the bulk of students training together over an extended period of time however with many students unable to attend this would not be achieved. The black belts and I will generate a number of other opportunities for the club to train together over the next few months and look to run the camp in October - November.

I apologies to any students who canceled other plans to be available for the camp and will refund those that have already given me camp fees next week.

Kind regards

The 2012 training camp will be held at Woodman Point Recreation camp on 25, 26 and 27 May. Black belts will train from Friday night 25 and all other members from 1.30pm on Saturday through to  12 noon on Sunday 27 May. Please block out this weekend in your calendars and more information will be provided on Flyers in the next week. This is a great opportunity to get in some solid training and have great fun with the whole club.

For the camp's address and location, see here; Woodman Point Recreation Camp.

I look forward to seeing you all there.

Just a reminder that a selection of instructional videos are available for you to view. Currently they cover basic techniques such as punches, blocks and self defenses. These will be of particular assistance to white, blue and yellow belts. (Although is doesn't hurt for the higher belts to review their techniques.)

To access these videos, you will need to log in and a `Video Library' menu will appear on the right sidebar of the website. Please note that you will only be able to access the video pages that are relevant to your grade so if you click on a video that you do not need to know yet, you will receive the `access denied' page.

If you need your log in details, please email Sempai Des at; admin@shingen.com.au.

Happy viewing!!!

The Thursday sparring technique class is open to all students and is especially beneficial for yellow belts and above. It does not involve full contact sparring but sparring gear should be worn so you get used to it.

Sparring gear includes: Mouth guard, groin guard (for males), head gear, shin pads and foot protectors. All of this is available at Giri Martial Arts on Albany highway Cannington except the foot protectors that are available through me.

See you there
