Hello everyone, there will be no class on Wednesday because the rec cantre won't reopen until Thursday. I hope you are all safe and well.

Hello everyone, the class today has been cancelled because the rec centre has been closed due to the weather. Hope you all stay safe and see you all on Wednesday.

Hello everyone. Just a Reminder that the first day of classes for 2023 is Wednesday 8th of February. Hope see you all again soon.

Hey everyone, I hope you have all been well over the past few months. Classes will begin on the 2nd of February 2022. In order to train safely under the traffic light system, all students will need to adhere to the following rules.
- Everyone over the age of 12 must be fully vaccinated and have a vaccine pass.
- Parents are asked to stay outside the facility during training as the area can only accommodate 100 people.
- Everyone must wear a face mask when entering the facility. We can remove our masks while training but must social distance at all times.
- Scan in with your vaccine pass (under 12 don't need a pass) and sanitise your hands upon arrival and departure.
- At level red we are only allowed 25 people max in the room so depending on the numbers we will train in the main hall if we go over that limit.
- We are not allowed to share training equipment such as Karate mitts.
- If any student shows signs of a cold or flu like symptoms they are not allowed to enter the facility.
Thanks and I hope to see you all again soon.

Hey everyone, I hope you and your families have all been well over the past few months. Given that this year is almost finished and the new level framework has started, Sensei Peter has decided that classes will resume next year in 2022 at the beginning of the school term. Like last year we will discount the training fee to compensate everyone for the lost sessions.
With the new COVID-19 level framework the rec centre has decided to require vaccine certificates when entering for everyone over the age of 12 at level Red and Orange. Therefore, if you wish to train next year please consider getting vaccinated and to get your vaccine certificate.
I know it's been a difficult year for everyone so I would like to thank everyone for their patience and we look forward to seeing you all next year.
Hopefully next year will be a lot better but most importantly enjoy Christmas and the summer.😁

Hello Everyone, I hope you have all been well the past couple of weeks.
Unfortunately, we have decided not to have classes during level 2.
This is because the restrictions at West Wave mean we would only be allowed to have a maximum of 10 people per class (including teachers). Sensei has decided that this limit would not be feasible, given that we only have two classes per week and 50+ students.
We apologise for this and we will find a way to reimburse everyone.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to message us.
Thanks and stay safe.
