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.

Hamilton City dojo, Henkada Judo club
10 to 11 am - junior and senior, all grades combined class

6-7pm, - junior and senior, all grades combined class
Wednesday 16th and 23rd January

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

Three years’ worth of cocaine snorted in three months
More cocaine was taken across Waikato in the last three months than three whole years in the early 2020s.
That’s according to wastewater drug testing carried out by Crown research institute ESR for police.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato?
New data has pinpointed Hamilton’s most dangerous intersections, including a high risk Cobham Drive turn off that a resident and driving experts believe should be shut for good.
While that turn into Grey St has resulted in the highest number of injuries, most crashes occurred at the bustling intersection of Te Rapa Straight and Wairere Drive.
Do you have a most-hated intersection in Waikato? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
