A brilliant moment from today‚Äôs competition, Lucie stepping up into the 10-11 team Kumite scoring a cracker of a kick to get the win for the girls. Only just turned 8 facing a much bigger opponent, this girl never disappoints. Love the team spirit in the background!! ūüĎäūüŹľūüĒ•ūüĎäūüŹľ #TeamLKA

Great effort from all members who sat their mock grading examinations at LKA this evening..
Well done to those who received permission to grade slips, back to the dojo in the morning working hard and improving from now to the grading. A reminder a permission to grade slip is not a pass - it is permission to sit the grading, please ensure all students are still training as there is plenty to work on.
Those who did not receive a permission to grade slip, keep working hard and y...our time will come. I will not put anyone forward for a grading if they are not quite ready. Everyone will progress at their own level and factors such as age, ability, attendance must be taken into consideration.
All classes are running as normal tomorrow, those going to Penrith final opportunity to train and for teams to practice together before Sunday. Please ensure all are at class.
There has been a mix up with hand mitts, please check your child’s mitts. If you have someone else’s mitts please hand them in at class tomorrow.
Apologies to the second class for the late finish, I wanted to give everyone feedback ūüėä
Thanks Chantelle
