Get fit & learn self-defence at the same time! Upper Hutt classes open next week!

Carl from Pinehaven

Looking to gain some fitness and work off those christmas dinners?
Have fun doing it and learn self-defence at the same time.


The Inspired Lives School of Self-Defence kicks off again next Tuesday, 12 January. We're a Wing-Chun and Zen Do Kai-based school that also incorporates Arnis (Phillipino stick fighting) and BJJ.


We train Tues and Thurs nights, 7.30-9pm and hold a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Fundamentals class on Saturday mornings, 8.30-9.30am. It's open to anyone, age 13 and up.


Learn more at www.schoolofselfdefence.net.... Any questions, drop Carl a line at carl@inspiredlives.co.nz or on 021 263 5508.


It's just $10 a week (or a maximum $15 per week for the whole family) and we're based at 'The Spot', on the corner of Milton St and Fergusson Drive. Look forward to seeing you there!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
