On the 14th December we will have our Christmas class. There will be lots of games and fun. There will be gifts, lollies and Christmas crackers.

This will be our last class of the year. We back on 25th January 2023!

All students have are welcome both past and present. This has been another great year for the club and it would be wonderful to see you before we all head off to celebrate Christmas.

If you cannot make it I hope you have a fantastic Christmas and an awesome 2023!

There will be no Zoom class this month. This is due to Sensei not being available to take the class. Apologies for the short notice.

This month's theme is Kata Saifa. This will be really good for those looking to grade to blue belt.

I am sorry to have to tell you that there will be no class this Wednesday 10th August. Sensei has contracted COVID and is isolating. We should be back training the following week.

There will be a Zoom class on this Sunday 7th August.

Tonight's classes will be cancelled. I am unwell and don't want to pass it on to you and make you sick.

I have done a RAT test which has been negative. I will do another tomorrow to make sure I don't have COVID.

I am very sorry for the short notice, but I have to make sure all students are kept safe.

See you next week.

Regards Sensei Steve.

This is an incredible day. It sees the launch of the new ministry, Whaikaha - Ministry of Disabled People.

Whaikaha has so much potential to support and champion the disabled communities of Aotearoa.

Matariki is the Maori name for the small cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades or the Seven Sisters, in the Taurus constellation.

In New Zealand it comes into view low on the north-eastern horizon, appearing in the tail of the Milky Way in the last days of May or in early June, just before dawn.

For the very first time New Zealand will have a public holiday to celebrate this uniquely Kiwi event.

This heralds the Maori New Year. To celebrate I will be training on the beach at Scorching Bay before sunrise (about 6am)

The club will be running a free self-defence class on Wednesday 25th May at 7pm. This is in place of our normal second class. Everyone is invited so please tell your friends and family about the session.

There will be practical demonstrations and lots of opportunities to try out the techniques in a safe training environment. You don't have to know karate to be take part in this exciting class.

Remember to wear comfortable clothing and bring a drink bottle.
