Hope you all enjoy the four-day long weekend starting Friday March 21 through to Monday March 24. Please stay safe and drive responsibly over the holiday period.

Training-wise, we have classes that fall on Fridays and Mondays. The classes affected have been questioned and the following changes will be made.

Coolbellup:

Class for Friday March 21 will be cancelled due to public holiday. There was a vote held on Tuesday March 11 for this and we decided not to conduct normal class for this holiday Friday.

Mandurah:

Class for Thursday March 20 will continue as normal. A vote was held on Thursday March 12 and there were some interests for students to train. However, this may change closer to the date – please check back the day before, just in case.

Rockingham:

Class for Monday March 24 will continue as normal. There was a vote held on Wednesday March 12 for this and we decided to have a class after-all. This will be good for those who need the extra training for the upcoming tournament or grading.

OhDoKwan Junior Invitational Forms Due!

I’ve decided that the comment inside the "Taekwondo OhDoKwan Junior Invitation Championships" article is not quite visible enough. That is to say, it does not stand out when you visit this website. The only tell-tale sign is if you scroll all the way to the bottom to see the most "recent comments". Anyway, the forms for the upcoming tournament to be held on Sunday March 30 will be due to your instructor by Saturday March 15, 2008. Please have all the necessary information correctly filled out accompanied with the correct amount for entry fees. Your instructor should, in the coming week, be bringing a scale to class training so that you can have your weight measured again. This is to double-check, so please weigh yourself at home and then at training also.
