September Gradings with Master Paul

Lyndon was disappointed that he was in Australia for this last gradings of the year, (his last gradings in Tonga also) as he missed out on catching up with Master Paul and the crew that came over from Sydney for the event. Oh well, there is always next year - only difference is we will have to fly over for a holiday to join in.

Emily being congratulated by Chief Instructor Josh as she has passed to the next level - blue belt, brown tip

Would you mess with this bunch of crazy Tongans and a little palangi?? The seniors of the class - brown and black belts.

As usual we hosted the after party at Cheateau de Quirke which was a fun night
  
Out came the kava bowl in honour of Master Paul, all the students sat on the mat to drink kava and pay their respects

Our lovely kava ladies, Nesioloa, Ebonie and Pua
