1. July Seminar & Grading - 28 July 2022

We are very fortunate to have Mr Darren Ward 6th Degree conduct a special Grading & Seminar during this Thursday's Senior Class.

The Class starts as usual at 6:30pm and will run thru to 8pm.

The Grading aspect is by invitation only and is targeting those Students competing at the National Tournament in August AND those that have been attending the Nationals Trainings. Those that are Grading have already been told and it's important that the Grading Fees are paid before Thursday so these can be processed and paid to the National Body on Friday. Any questions, please see Mr Lourantos as soon as Possible.

During the Seminar, Mr Ward will focus on the Grading Syllabus including 3, 2 and 1 Step Sparring as well as key aspects of Patterns and Self Defense.

Do not miss this Seminar!

5. New Yellow and Green Stripe Syllabus Books

These have just been released and are awesome. The Club has purchased a small number of these so they are immediately available. Get yours at training directly from Mr Lourantos.

6. Move to Xero Accounting and Change of Bank Account

The club has moved to Xero and the new bank account has been largely gone smoothly. However there are still a small number of students fees paid into the old account.  Please check and change your automatic payments to reflect the new account below.

Please make all monthly training fee payments and other deposits to our new bank account; 

Eastern Martial Arts Ltd, t/a Miramar Taekwon-Do Club
