Master Class Sessions with Sensei Brian Cox

As shared in our TD announcements over the past two weeks, we are excited to introduce a new program
commencing in 2026: Master Class Sessions with Sensei Brian Cox. Please find further details below.

• This program offers an additional development pathway designed to complement regular dojo training.
• Sessions will be held once a month on Sundays, at our Lugarno Dojo, running from 09:30–14:30. Each
  session includes 2 × 2-hour training blocks with a 1-hour lunch break in between.
• The dojo is located at Lugarno Public School, Assembly Hall. Onsite parking is available via the driveway
  before the pedestrian crossing. Attendees are encouraged to bring their own lunch.
• Classes will focus on the Dan Grading syllabus.
• Training is open to all Brown and Black Belts, with a particular emphasis on supporting Instructors (technical
  alignment) and Dan Grading candidates seeking to strengthen specific areas ahead of their 2026 grading
  assessment.
• Dan Grading candidates are reminded that any gaps identified during screening must be addressed through
  regular dojo training. The Master Class program serves as an additional development opportunity, not a
  replacement.
• A class fee of $20 applies to cover costs. Resident Dojo Instructors (excluding Assistants) are welcome to
  attend free of charge. Payment is to be made in cash on the day to Sensei Michael Clay.

         Session dates:

• • Sunday 1 March
  • Sunday 22 March
  • Sunday 19 April
  • Sunday 31 May
  • Sunday 14 June
  • Sunday 9 August
  • Sunday 6 September
  • Sunday 11 October
  • Sunday 8 November

There is no registration link for these classes. You are welcome to show up on the day, however, it would be most
helpful if you sent a brief email to Michael Clay Sensei (mclay1@gmail.com) with a few days’ notice to inform
him about your plans.

If you require any further clarification or support, please feel free to reach out to me.
