An amazing seminar! So much to learn and so little time! It was great to see such a good turnout, with students from near and far.

Thank you to Chris Thomas Sensei, for sharing his knowledge and time. And thank you to Motueka Seido Karate for hosting this seminar. 🙏

One of the best weeks of my entire karate career. Such great people in a great environment, so grateful to Sensei for his wisdom.

Here’s an idea to work off those extra chocolate-Easter-egg and hot-cross-bun calories!

Easter Monday training will be on as usual, starting with general class at 5:30pm, then kata at 6:30pm, followed by our beginners class at 7:15pm.

No rest for the wicked (or those who love karate)!
