Wednesday evenings kids classes at Franklin will continue as normal Wednesdays at the same time and place with one of our exciting new instructors Sempai Chamath. 

Zanshin Martial Arts training will continue as normal over the late September / early October school holidays. A great way for parents to give your children some active time.

Grading this September! The Zanshin Martial Arts grading is on the weekend of 17th and 18th September 2022. How long do gradings go for? Junior gradings take approximately one hour per group.  The senior gradings are in one block of about 3 hours, with a break in the middle for lower grades to get their results. When should I show up? If you arrive 10 minutes before the nominated start time, that allows time for uniform checks, attendance marking, and for last-minute nerves to be taken care of. We have stocks of uniforms, t-shirts, kicking bags and plenty of other things available at the grading shop.

There are two venue changes for the Zanshin grading weekend on Saturday 11 and Sunday 12 December 2021. Grading times remain the same.

– The Saturday grading originally scheduled for Ngunnawal is now at Rosary Primary School, Fleming Street, Watson.

– The Sunday grading originally scheduled for Conder is now at St Francis of Assisi Primary School, Casey Crescent, Calwell. 

Venue changes are due to COVID impacting on the availability of the original venue hall hires. In the interests of Zanshin being able to deliver a COVID safe event at both venues, if you are unwell or showing COVID symptoms, please do not attend. We will be adhering to venue capacity limits. It will be necessary to stagger the belt groups in and out of each venue. That will mean staging belt groups who are yet to grade outside each venue until it is their turn to grade. Please ensure children bring runners to the grading to wear before they enter the grading hall. 

Schools in the ACT are considered a high risk facility. Pursuant to ACT Health directions, in all indoor spaces at a school, including out of school hours, people aged 12 years and older are required to wear a mask at schools unless exempt from wearing a mask. Students who are grading can remove their mask during their grading.

We appreciate your cooperation in helping us to deliver a COVID safe grading weekend.
