Classes kick off on Monday 3 February 2025! New students are welcome. It will be a hot week, so you are welcome to wear shorts and t-shirts to training this week. We will have the air conditioner and fans on, so you’ll be nice and cool.
To support your learning, a detailed syllabus is now available on the website. I’ll be progressively adding videos to help you further. Your feedback is always welcome.

Sobukan will be demonstrating Japanese martial arts at the Kodomo no Hi (Children’s Day) Japanese festival at Thebarton Community Centre on Sunday 5th May – I hope you can all make it!
Again, not an April Fool’s joke. Unfortunately both children’s and adults classes are cancelled tonight. Classes should be on as normal Wednesday, but please monitor this website and the facebook page for updates. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Due to COVID hitting our household, there will be no kids class on Easter Monday. While this is April 1, it is not an April Fool’s joke.
Dan will teach the adults class Monday night, and kids and adults on Wednesday night.
Apologies for any inconvenience, but the flip side is you get to train with a very experienced martial artist and great teacher in Dan!
Start the year right. Gain useful life skills, make friends, and get fitter and healthier in a great family activity.

Adult classes will run as per normal.
