Warren's Korean Karate - DanjunDo

Hi everyone. I have been living in Melbourne now for 2 years and have been focusing on getting set up such as settling into a new home and job.
I have also been looking for a new place to start my new dojang.
I have decided that Williamstown is where I want to be.
At the moment I have explored options and set up a starter website. After I do some advertising I will be able to find out how many students want to come to my school.
Then I will contract to a school that I work for to use their hall.

"Only with breathing, we can induce our "inner" energy. "Breath power" is released with a sudden, sharp, and forceful exhalation. After the strong block technique, a fast but smooth transfer to the Kamae position should follow, maintaining alertness (Zanshin mind state). At the same time when the block is completed exert pressure on the floor in order to establish a ground connection and to join with 'grund Chi'". Shihan Taiji Kase

Moved to Victoria Melbourne hope to find a decent club to train at.

To the students and parents of the Queech H.S. group I need to inform you that I won't be continuing lessons into term three this year. Over the holidays I was offered a teaching position in Victoria I have accepted the position and because I needed to start immediately I have already moved It is unfortunate that I couldn't tell you in person.
Good luck with your studies and if you are keen to pursue a Taekwondo further then best wishes.

Looking forward to attending another martial arts council gathering, it's been a while. Here is a photo of me about to practice a takedown.

New year, new beginnings. Some of our senior students have returned to training and I am looking forward to others as well as new members over the next few weeks.

I read recently how a student of the WTSD (World Tang Soo Do) association was writing his 20,000-word thesis. Even though I myself have a Master's degree in education and have written more than one university thesis, I do not advocate teachers of any martial arts having to write one. I believe a good martial arts teacher learns through practice and self-development. When organizations start to require a university-style thesis for their instructors it starts to devalue each individual who is not academically inclined within the organisation. It creates a system of elitism.

End of term grading.
Four of the junior belts have committed to their grading at the end of Term 3 for 2021. They have shown a strong commitment to learning, developed their technique and when their friends are falling away because they don't share the same courage and loyalty, these few have endured.
They have shown the true meaning the values of Bushido that have transferred into modern Korean karate.
