Tyler Reely & Sam Watiere from Australind Super Dragons hold up their newly earned patience badges

The patience badge is to teach 1 think, your kids patience.
I was amazed to have walked into classes with children waiting
Quite & Calmly. Well Done, I am so very proud of you all.
I do believe learning patience gives you a strong defence against anxiety which is becoming more & more common in todays fast moving society

Some 75 children have earned their badge to date and have learned through example how to apply patience,
the remaining 40 or so will most probably earn theirs in the next couple of weeks.

Joey Platts from Bunbury Little Dragons shows the patience badge he achieved last term – ‘Great Job Joey”

This terms badge will be Respect,
good luck to all.

One of the great things about Taekwondo is its for everyone. Women and girls have always played a strong part in the population of classes and more so with families enjoying the freedom of movement and health benefits our style of martial arts gives you.

A great example is the ladies and teens above, all have other family members involved they share the goal of black belt with, more importantly all maintain a strong focus and it shows in the power of their strikes. The other great news is they have all passed their belt grading for term four

Jo Jauncey made the deal with her youngest daughter Lilly she would start Taekwondo when Lilly was old enough to promote from Little Dragons to Taekwondo, but both have followed the lead of oldest daughter Brooklyn Jauncey who will be grading for her blackbelt in early December. Jo has been somewhat a spy, who would of thought watching Brooklyn for so many years would produce such great ability. closet training? who knows but its worked. Jo & Lilly both passed their yellow belt side by side. it was a great moment.

Mel Buhlmann took up Taekwondo after daughter Rebecca stormed through the Little Dragons syllabus and started the Family Taekwondo class at Australind, soon younger brother started the Little Dragonflies and both Mel joined up with husband Garry and are both climbing up the belt ranks as a family. Mel adapts to the technical side like no-one else, her natural flexability mean she can face kick in a blink, and its a kick that willl finish the situation, Training with partner Garry has certainly added to her toughness, though she has a kind and friendly presence

Brittany Jongeling started when her father brought her and 2 of her sisters to classes to try a self defence school, Patrick, Brittany, Rhianon and Elissa all started together and have now split into two groups with Brittany & Elissa opting to train 2 x per week, and father Pat & Rhianon training on a more part time basis of once per week due to other commitments.

Brittany has turned herself into a very strong martial artist having powerful strikes and a quick adaptability to the techniques, its easy to see that Brittany enjoys training and the results can be heard from the other end of the room, her kicks generate a thump that sends a warning that they will crunch ribs or a leg

Elissa Jongeling has also adapted with ease to the style. having sister Brittany as her training partner, the 2 have pushed each other along to a high level. Dont let Elissa’s small frame deceive you, this girl packs a whollop and displays dangerous speed and goodnight strikes, shes motivated and it shows

Racheal Atkinson started after both her sons started getting involved in the Little Dragons Program, after a small amount of time as a spectator, Racheal decided to step up to her own personal goal. with time only allowing training once a week, Racheal has been climbing the belts in her own pace and now over half way to black belt, her level is starting to really push through and we are starting to get an idea of what she is capable of and its been impressive so far. Racheals son Sam is featured in the story on The Little Dragons Patience Badges

Trinity Best trained with us when she was very young, and has now come back in to further her journey with us and were very happy she has. Trinity has a younger sister who trains in the Australind Little Dragons who also shows great ability. Trinity had a very strong traditional style of Taekwondo so we just had to change her to a more flexible style, but she basically did it herself by adapting and now shows some great techniques and well controlled punches and kicks with great usable power. Trinity wouldnt sting you like many her age would, Trinity’s strikes hurt and hurt bad and we cant wait to see her ability at black belt. very promising.

Congrats to all the women & teens who passed their belt examination, its great to see you all lifting your level each term

The first in our kids staying safe seminar series has been completed with a great response

The 1 hour “Stop Being Targeted” seminar had a huge turn up and it was great to see all the kids having a great time and enjoying themselves learning some lessons on a very serious subject
Being Anti-Bully & Anti-Abduction skills and how to not be targeted by a predator.

The seminar was filled with fun learning exercises, some stories, games and lessons on the importance of these skills that help to “Deflect” a predator, and confrontational skills if approached by a bully.
We have had a great responce with my phone receiving many messages and a Police Constable who was very kind in her words on the way we presented it and the benefit of programs like ours plus the push to get something like this into schools.

We wanted to thank all that supported this seminar and thankyou to Ajana, John & Olivia who come down to help. It was a huge success.
Thankyou also to Ajana for the great photos

I was very fortunate to be invited to Picton Primary School for Book Week based with an Olympic Theme. It give me a chance to talk about a book that inspired me to pursue the the life path of living my martial arts for life

“The Book Of 5 Rings” – Miyomoto Musashi

I just wanted to say thankyou to the staff and students at Picton Primary for allowing me to share my passion of reading with so many young (and older minds) and the importance of reading books in the world of the computer age

I was so happy with the warm welcome, the many students that spoke to me, and the fantastic encouraging comments parents & teachers said to me. Its a memory that will last a long time for me

I would like to thank
Principle Micheal Thomson, Emma Holtzhouser and my 2 Super Dragon students Angus Holzhouser and Angus Denton who both smashed a pine board in front of the whole school. “Very Impressive Boys”

I am a true lover of reading books and Im so happy that my passion for what I do had a positive effect on so many people

Keep on reading

With all classes full and all having at least 1 reserve in such a short time, speaks for itself.

Its a chance to A) have your child given more attention to detail in training
Its a chance to B) train under the guidance of the Highest Black Belt Instructor
