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.
