With the first week of USQ mid semester break kicking off (and associated school holidays), and Week 10 of 12 teaching weeks at CQU, we are all rapidly approaching the end of the standard academic year.

I am going to have to stay up in Bundaberg till next Thursday 3 October, and Brady will be away this week at his parent’s farm, so there will not be any week-night training for Jujutsu this week in Toowoomba. Brady will let everyone know about this Saturday, and next Monday. I will then be back to run next Thusday and Saturday’s classes as normal.

Sean T is keen to run Kendo sessions while am away, so please ask him directly about those arrangements.

Gin Gin Jujutsu, Iaido and Kendo sessions will run as usual over the next fortnight through the school holiday period.

For me, my studying year will be over by Friday 25 October. I will provide some updates regarding virtual dojo training times and visits to Gin Gin for the break till March once we work up the schedule. I would also like to pencil in a Jujutsu grading opportunity for the weekend after the QKR seminar in December, and will confirm more details over the coming weeks.

I would also like to wish all competitors at the Uni Sports Div 1 Nationals all the best for the competition starting this weekend coming, especially in Kendo and Judo. I would also like to thank Club members who are heading down to fill support roles for the event.

Have fun everyone and Gambatte!
