Happy New Year to all of the TKMA students.

Taekidokai Martial Arts

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: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.

Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.

For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.

Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?

We hope this brings a smile!

Poll: How are your manu skills?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Waikato MP Tim van de Molen could have inadvertently been gifted his new election campaign slogan after taking out the Waikato Times political manu challenge.

Guest judge Alia McQueen said the National Party MP showed loads of “style and energy” as he out-bombed his parliamentary colleagues at Saturday’s impromptu manu challenge at Wellington Street Beach in Hamilton.
