Choke from Back Control

The move is on.....All hands on deck!

Next Saturday 30th July at 9am we will be moving the mat to our new full time premises at 4 Bruce St, Mornington. We need as many hands as possible to help us load and unload the trucks and get set up for classes at the new venue. Training will then run as scheduled from Tuesday 2nd August on the usual timetable. We will need help from our resident tradesman to build change rooms and a shower once we have settled in. There will also be room for a crossfit style training area and perhaps a ring or cage. Please come down and help us out next Saturday. Thanks to Dave for his patience in negotiating the lease, please everyone thank him personally when you next see him. Exciting times...Osu.

Club News Update


Firstly our best wishes go out to Nial Macdonagh, a Mornington Extreme Blue Belt, who this weekend will be competing in a Hawaii Ironman qualification race in Korea. Good Luck Nial, it's your time now. After a less than ideal preparation to circumstances beyond his control, Nial has shown amazing determination to refocus for this race.

Secondly, congratulations to all the juniors who graded last night after another terms worth of training. Its fantastic to see the technical progress these young athletes are making. I am excited at the prospect of taking a junior team to this years Pan Pacs in September. Our Junior coaches are doing a great job.

Lastly, in two weeks time, all things going well. We will move into our first full time premises at 4 Bruce St in Mornington. After 5 years in part time venues this is a big step up but we are ready. This will give us more useable space, room for a small gym, office and change rooms. I will revises the timetable once we get up and running and arrange an official opening. Stay tuned!

PS Looking forward to GITM next week. All 12 spots are taken, fix me up for coin if you haven't already. Should be a fun night.
