Dear GKR students,
Here is your opportunity to try out for the GKR WA State Team. (NAS)

NAS (National All Styles) is an Organisation that runs Non Contact Tournaments for all Martial Arts styles to compete against each other.

If you want to be part of the GKR WA Tournament Team and participate in NAS Competitions then join us for the next few weeks on the try outs. All grades and ages are welcome.

Placement on the team is determined by a selection process which will take place over a 6 week trial period starting on Sunday the 24th of September 2006.

This trial period will also give you an advantage for the upcoming GKR Tournament on the 11th November 2006!

The trial will be conducted by Sensei Ken (State Coach / Regional Instructor), Sensei Nick (Assistant Coach) and Sensei Steve (Fitness Coach).

Training is held at the North Lake Senior High School, North Lake, Crn of Winterfold Road and North Lake Road.

Training commences at 9:30am and ends at 11:30am. All students must arrive by 9:00am to register.

All details regarding the conditions of being on the team will be made clear on attending the trials. Normal class fees apply, including instructors, No PTF.


Next NAS Tournament is 1st October 2006 at the Belmont Oasis Leisure Centre.

Isn't it the wrong time of year to hold try-outs for state team?

We have ours in January / February before the tournament year starts....

Why not have it in OCtober before the tournament year starts and give yourself more time to practise???

I’m not sure why Sensei Ken has chosen this time for the try outs. The NAS season is almost over, except for the Nationals in December, and only the WA GKR tournament to go in November. So I guess it’s the best time to start, giving any new people nearly 6 month to get ready for the next season.

Just to clarify a point. The try outs are open to any GKR student in WA, not only from Perth.

Fixed... sowwy

Just in case anyone was going to go for a “Try Out” with the WA Tournament Team this Sunday. There is no training on Sunday the 1st October, as it’s the State Finals for NAS.

You’re most welcome to come and watch.

Location as usual. The Belmont Oasis, Belmont, Belmont Ave.

Time: 7:30 for competitors sign in, 8:45 start.
