1. Security Warning From Griffith University At Nathan Campus
There was an incident (see below) on the path just outside of the Nathan dojo. It is a reminder that we need to take the awareness from the dojo into our daily lives and please take care when leaving the dojo at night. As a club we have developed some expertise in this area, some of which are available here: http://griffithaikido.com/brisbaneselfdefence.html

“On the 4th May at approximately 9 pm an incident occurred on the Nathan Campus on the lower Johnson path (towards Kessels Road) in which a female
student was assaulted. The student received minor injuries. This is an isolated incident which Police are continuing to investigate. Campus Life
has now increased the amount of security patrols in this area. Staff and students are reminded to be aware of their own personal safety on campus
and where possible not to walk alone after dark. An escort service is provided by security to drop staff and students at remote areas of the
campus. The service operates from 6 - 11pm (Monday to Friday), this leaves the circuit every half hour, on the hour and half hour. On weekends staff
or students can ring security on x77777 to organise an escort.”

Hi Everyone,
With all of the media talking about the spread of some new strains of Flu this year its a timely reminder that we have a responsibility to each others' health when training in the dojo. Please ensure you wash your hands and arms both before and after class - this is a mechanism of disease transmission between training partners. Sometimes also we maybe have a slight cold but feel well enough to train. Please resist the urge to train when unwell both for your own well being and also to avoid 'sharing' with others.
