The Pen – Issue 10

The recent Peter De Been visit highlighted the value of the academy system, with members getting a couple of hours of refining their techniques with one of Australia’s best. The teams side control defence improved out of sight this week!!! The informative evening was topped off by Chris being awarded his black belt! For the academy to receive its 2nd black belt from Pete in our 10th year was fantastic. For those who missed Chris stated ‘thanks to all my team mates, these moments can’t happen without your support.’

The visit was topped off by Luke, Darren and Chris supporting Pete on his Jakarta leg of seminars.  The Indonesian team was super friendly and were very appreciative to have the Darwin Academy owners visit. The 2 seminars and competition gave us the opportunity to develop important networks in an area where the sport is growing at phenomenal rate. We look forward to taking a bigger team to visit again sometime soon.
