What an incredible day we had at the Midlands Seminar yesterday! 💥🥋
Our Hae Whakatāne students trained hard, represented brilliantly and made us incredibly proud.

It was fantastic to join students from Tauranga, Te Awamutu, Whakatāne and even Auckland. The atmosphere was positive, supportive and full of energy. Thank you to everyone who travelled and contributed to such an inspiring event.

A huge thank you to the organisers, Pete Cossey and Nahuel Genti, for putting together a well-run and motivating seminar. Your mahi does not go unnoticed.

We are also grateful to the instructors who shared their knowledge throughout the day: Grandmaster Rimmer, Master Campbell, Nahuel Genti and Sheryl Chase. Our students gained so much from your guidance.

And to our Hae Whakatāne crew and all who supported the day, thank you. Your commitment and enthusiasm make all the difference. 💜🔥

We are excited for more opportunities like this and proud to continue growing alongside the wider Midlands community. 🥋✨
