Thank you to everyone who attended. It was a fantastic weekend and a great experience for all involved. A special thanks to everyone who helped organise and those who assisted during the camp. Your efforts are very much appreciated.
Another fantastic turnout this year for Kagami Biraki. We were treated to an insanely hot day, ideal for the traditional pool party held afterwards at Senpai Lyn's. Thank you to all who attended, all the instructors who put in such a great effort to run and support the dojo and to all the students. Thank you all.
The next grading for Kyu grade students will be held on March 26th. Keep training, candidates will be notified in person.
On Monday, February 9th, from 6pm to 7pm (the second class) we will hold a meditation class. It is highly recommended for people attending the camp to gain some experience, as at the camp traditionally on Sunday morning is an hour meditation.
This year's summer camp will be held on the second weekend of March, from the 6th (Friday 5pm) till the 8th (Sunday 12 noon). The camp will be at our now traditional Jindabyne Sports and Recreation Centre location, and is open to all Seido members. We encourage everyone to attend.

Please indicate if you are able to assist with transport, or if you require a place on the bus.
Hoping to build upon the success of last year, we proudly announce the date of Saturday, February 7, 2009 for the next Kagami Biraki. It will be held outside on the field behind the dojo and will be starting at 11am. Bring running shoes, hat and sunscreen. We would like to start on time, so please be punctual. There will be a workout, followed by a light breakfast hosted by the black belts.
After the Kagami Biraki the traditional pool party will be on at Senpai Lyn's place, starting about 1 pm. Everyone welcome. BYO drinks and please also bring a plate.
Senpai Kinga is currently on a trip around the world for 7 weeks. The first stop of the voyage was New York, for the 32nd Seido Anniversary Tournament. She didn't have too much time to prepare for the contest but she is an experienced competitor and has won many trophies in her 16 year martial arts career. Amongst others, in 2003 at the Seido International Festival in Sydney she won the same Kumite titles as this year.
Senpai Kinga arrived to New York on Wednesday night, attended two classes at Honbu. On Saturday morning she started the tournament still jet-lagged. First she presented her Kata which was awarded second place. This is a great achievement because she faced and outperformed many who train under the direct instruction of Kaicho. The Kumite (point sparring) followed, where she won her division. The "Kumite Grand Champion" title is awarded to the winner of the straight knock-out fights between the division winners. Senpai Kinga had four bouts in a row, winning all to become the overall champion. Congratulations to Senpai Kinga!
You can contact her through Facebook or via the web mail form on our site. See pictures of the 2003 Seido Festival in the photo gallery. As soon as new pictures arrive we will publish all.
A video of one of Senpai Kinga's fights has now been added to the Video Gallery.
Congratulations to Senpai Suzi, Senpai Sacha and Senpai Joan who all took part in the September/October 2008 black belt grading. Senpai Suzi graded to Nidan, Senpai Sacha from junior Shodan to senior Shodan, and Senpai Joan who graded to senior Shodan. We also congratulate students from other dojos that graded also, well done to you all.
Thank you to all who attended the breaking seminar. We had an excellent turn out and hope to run more breaking seminars in the future to expand further upon what was learnt at this, our first breaking seminar. Some videos of various breaks were recorded by some students, and with luck, we will be able to post some here on the website.
24 students will be participating in the upcoming black belt grading in September. We have 3 students from our dojo taking part, Senpai Suzi, Senpai Sacha, and Joan. Best wishes and good luck to all students from all dojos taking part in the grading.
Thank you to everyone who attended our dojo's first annual dinner. A fantastic night was had by all and we had a wonderful turnout. Thank you to all who were part of it, but especially to all of the instructors who have made our first year such a success. The dojo wouldn't be the friendly, wonderful place of learning that it is without your hard work and for that we all salute you. A special thanks also to Julie for organising this dinner and selecting such a great venue to have it at. Thank you to all.
A big congratulations to all who graded on the weekend. Sensei Miklos and Sensei Nora both graded to Yondan. Senpai Lyn graded and is now Sandan, and Senpai Luke who is now a junior Shodan. Well done to you all.

Starting at 5pm. All students, along with their partners and children are welcome. Please RSVP by the 25th of June if you plan on attending.
On Friday, May 23 2008, Vision Australia recognised the amazing work done in our dojo's vision program, presenting Senpai Miklos and Senpai Nora with a Making A Difference Award. Both gave wonderful acceptance speeches, extending their thanks to all, especially the other instructors and students who have helped make the vision program such a success. This is a very proud moment for our dojo and all associated with it. Congratulations to you both.
