It's that time of year again where we have to pack up for the Castle Hill Show. This is an unfortunate part of our lease, but we only have a short xmas break & train most public holidays so hopefully this makes up for it.
The club is on a real role this year with everyone stepping up to the next level, so take this as a quick refresher & get straight back to training.
All hands are needed to assist in the move out & in.
Dates are as follows.
Move out: Thursday 8th March from 6:30pm
Move in: Tuesday 20th March from 6:30pm
Our last training session will be on Wednesday 7th March & re-commence training on Wednesday 21st March.
All monthly payers will receive discounts for the month of March.

Move back in: Tuesday 05/4/11 from 6:30pm, As many people as possible also needed.
That means no training on the following dates 25/03/11, 28/03/11, 30/03/11, 01/047/11 & 04/04/11. Training will recommence as normal on Wednesday 06/04/11.
Well done to all our club members that entered the ISKA comp last weekend with great success.
Kids division: Bobby Azimi 1st place with two nice rear naked chokes, Zakky Azimi 3rd place going down on points in his semi final match in the last few seconds against the winner of his division. Jake Farnsworth 1st place by default, Jake has moved up an age group this year & is finding it hard to get opponents his weight.
Adult division: Rob Sabaruddin 1st place no gi, 2nd place gi. Unfortunately there was no opponent for Rob (again) in the MMA, Andre Powell 3rd place no gi, securing his long awaited competition submission in his second match, Ara Aroutiounian 4th place no gi, locking in a nice submission in his first match & a solid points win in his second & still only 17 years old. Tim Horn 4th place, in his first comp Tim locked on a beautiful triangle choke in 16 seconds of his first match & then had an awesome controversial match against a much bigger (shouldn't even have been in the same division) opponent that ended in a neck crank, yes thats right an illegal technique. All in all some very good results from everyone involved.
See you on the mat
Coach Simon
