Sobukan Dojo

Looking to kick-start 2023?

Are you keen to get fitter, stronger, healthier and more resilient? Would you like to develop amazing striking, throwing, grappling and self-defence skills? Would your family benefit from improved concentration, fitness, discipline and positive role models?

Sobukan is the best value for money dojo in Adelaide – and we are offering free training for all new members for the entire month of January!

Classes resume on Monday January 9. Kids from 6pm, adults from 7pm. Hope to see you then!

Merry Christmas and thank you for your support this year.

The last training day this year is Wednesday December 21 and the first day for next year is Monday January 9. Please remember to stop your fee payments for a fortnight.

We will have a break up BBQ at my house on Sunday 18 December from noon.

Please keep an eye on our Facebook page for outdoor training sessions during the break.

As per every year, please think of a theme, plan, goal or idea in relation to what you want to achieve with your training next year.

Have fun during the holiday period and keep safe and healthy!

There will be no kids classes on November 9, 14 and 16. Adults classes will proceed as normal, thanks to Pacey sempai.

My apologies for the inconvenience, I will be out of town on a business trip. See you on November 21st.

Parents, please halt children’s payments for this fortnight.

Children, please practice at home. Adults, please support Pacey and train hard!

Monday 3 October – open on public holiday

Monday 10 & 12 October – closed

I regret to advise that the dojo will be closed from today, Monday 11 July until Wednesday 20 July due to illness. Sorry for the inconvenience but unfortunately the entire leadership team is currently unwell. Please cease your dojo fees for the next two weeks. See you on Monday 25 July! Keep healthy, happy and safe!

Sobukan dojo will be demonstrating Japanese martial arts tomorrow, Sunday 1st May, at 11:30am, 1pm and 2pm. Come and enjoy the Japanese cultural experience and treats while leaking #adelaide’sbestsecret – Sobukan! See you at the Martial Arts marquee at the Thebarton Community Centre, near the old Brickworks Markets on South Rd in West Torrens.

In accordance with a relaxation in SA COVID restrictions, temporary safety measures introduced on 11 February 2022 have now been removed.

Masks are no longer mandatory in the dojo, however members and families are welcome to continue to wear masks if they opt to do so.

Unvaccinated persons are welcome in the dojo.

Please continue to observe general safety policies and do not come to the dojo if unwell.

Good news, we are almost over COVID. Classes are due to resume on Monday 11 April. I look forward to seeing you all then!

COVID has come to the Gillies household and classes are cancelled until we are all clear. I encourage you to get together for training in the meantime. Sorry for the inconvenience.

I am currently in 7 days isolation as a non-symptomatic close contact, so kids classes are cancelled for Wednesday 9 March. Adults classes should proceed, but please check the Facebook page/chat for last minute changes.
