Happy New Year to all of the TKMA students.
We, the instructors and myself, are very keen to get going and get stuck into our training and teaching for the year. Judging by all of the enquiries I have had over the last week, many students and prospective students are also feeling that twitch that tells them that they have had their break and now it is time to get that body moving.
So here are the times and locations of classes in January.
Sunday 13th and 20th January
Hamilton City dojo, Henkada Judo club
10 to 11 am - junior and senior, all grades combined class
Monday 14th, 21st, and 28th January
Flagstaff dojo, Endeavour school, Endeavour Drive
6-7pm, - junior and senior, all grades combined class
Wednesday 16th and 23rd January
Rototuna school. Strathmore Drive
6.30 to 7.30pm - junior and senior, all grades combined class
I look forward to seeing you in a class near you. If you need to contact me for any reason, you can get me on 027 497 0499 or on enquiries@tkma.co.nz
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

What's your favourite recipe for courgettes?
Kia ora neighbours. If you've got a family recipe for courgettes, we'd love to see it and maybe publish it in our magazine. Send your recipe to mailbox@nzgardener.co.nz, and if we use it in the mag, you will receive a free copy of our January 2025 issue.
Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
