Shugyo Dojo's - Murphy's Creek
The Murphy's Creek club under the leadership of Dai Sensei Anthony Nunn has been running since August 2004 catering for students aged 5 to adult.
All instructors hold Current Working with Children Blue Cards and classes have at least one instructor on site with a first aid certificate.
We have a family friendly atmosphere with parents and children training along side each other.
A general class will consist of a warm up, stretching, bag work and cardio work, partner drills, touch sparring and kata.

Club Patch
Our club name Shugyo means 'determined training that fosters enlightenment'.
(Although while researching the club name we came across many interpretations of the Japanese term 'Shugyo' they all seemed to follow a similar theme. We chose the above definition because of its simplicity in describing the concepts associated with the term 'shugyo'.)
The seven circles on the patch represent the seven virtues of bushido (Gi - Right Action; Yuuki - Courage; Jin - Benevolence; Rei - Respect; Makoto - Honesty; Meiyo - Honour; Chuugi - Loyalty)
The outer circles, being black, represent a new black belt. As the circles move inwards the black fades to white - this is to reflect the fading of our black belts as our training progresses and knowledge increases.
The inner red circle represents the Japanese lineage of our martial arts system, as well as the final colour of our belt.
