50 years of continuous training.
I'm proud to say that it's a rare thing to have instructors of 50years continuous training come from one club. Congratulations to Max Bell, Brian Bellchambers, David Gooding who began with me in 1972 at Rob Dobson Karate, Salisbury. Brian teaches on the York Peninsular and David has his club in Brisbane.

Reflect on your goals
When we train we go through many stages. For me the first stage was the training and self-building side of it all. Then it was testing, then realizing how little I knew and began studying. I soon realized the reason to grade upwards was to help others and now enjoy the feedback and helping others grow. Over the last 25years Yianni has also been finding his way and has developed into a wonderful person who, fortunately for me, has been very athletic and has been my "dummy" for many demonstrations at seminars, at the club and in my grading videos. He's not regular at the club but a proud member regardless. I must thank him for the fantastic keepsake he put together with Jordan, Tony and Ricky and sent to me as a Christmas present. Hopefully some will be inspired to go further with your own training and the young ones realize it's not the time it takes to get the next belt but what you put into the time.

News 2019.
Great news. As founder of Jinen Karate Jitsu and principle instructor I proudly announce that I have taken on the role as the President of the INTERNATIONAL BUDO FEDERATION AUSTRALIA. Recently I visited Melbourne's FIGHT FOR LIFE event and returned to hold the IBF-A training day to raise funds to send to Kevin Walsh to help in his quest to raise money to fight cancer. Another successful day. Now we plan for the 2020 events.

The Past Decade
Since joining the IBF I have been active teaching or supporting many events. Here you'll find summaries of the years since 2007. Perhaps it'll inspire others to broaden their world and look for the same opportunities. While to pages are yet to be completed they are a bit of a chronicle of personal events.
