KARATE FOR KIDS AND ADULTS
TOUKON RYU KARATE NOW HAS SPACES AVAILABLE,
BEACH HAVEN PRIMARY THURSDAYS 6.00 – 7.00 pm
Karate is the ideal sport for kids and adults alike.
Our primary focus is to equip students with the skills necessary for them to be able to defend themselves. Obviously, we hope that our students will never have to utilise these skills outside of their training,
Karate promotes self-confidence, balance, fitness, co-ordination, discipline, courtesy, health and wellness, responsibility, and will power. Children may start training in Toukon Ryu Karate as young as 5 years of age.
Come along THURSDAY nights at Beach Haven Primary School from 6.00 – 7.00pm to try it out. First class free.

Poll: Should complete designs be shared with the public, or should the community help shape the designs from the start?
The Post recently shared an opinion piece on the Harbour Crossing and why a more democratic approach might be needed 🚗🚲👟
While most decisions sit within the political arena, many organisations—like NZTA—manage long-term projects that go beyond party lines. Politics can sometimes disrupt progress, and the next Harbour Crossing is a big decision that will affect all Aucklanders.
We’d love your thoughts: Should near-complete, shovel-ready designs be shared with the public, or should the community have a hand in shaping the designs from the start?
