As you might have noticed this week we are changing the lay out of the entrance to the Riccarton club. This will provide a larger more organized area for our club shop so we can provide a better service with gear. We are also expanding both changing rooms and adding in more showers. Thank for your patience as this proceeds as there might be a little inconvenience for a couple of the day classes. When finished we should have enough room for up to 50 students to use the rooms at once.

We have a few spaces left for door sales for tonights and tomorrows Mat Reid Thai seminars. You can pay on the door.

I have had some students ask about the ZDK 40th year T-shirts. If you would like to get one let me know, as I will be putting an order in before the end of the month.

Weaponry classes are now on a Wednesday at 7pm and a Saturday at 10:30am at Riccarton. We have made these time adjustments to make it easier on instructors as the classes grow.

I have finalised the dates for the next level 1 self-defence courses – four to choose from so

Saturday 20th February – 1.00 pm – 2.30 pm
Wednesday 3rd March – 8.00 pm – 9.30 pm

2010 celebrates the 40th year of Zen Do Kai in Australia. This huge event is on the 21st August with National gradings taking place at the Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre, Albert Lake – VICTORIA.
From there that night we will then move to the Docklands with 1,000 members in attendance to continue to share this momentous occasion together. There will be students old and new, celebrities who have trained in the system, as well as clubs from all over Australia and New Zealand. There are only a few tickets left so if you are thinking you would like to go let your club head know by the 12th February. Proactive will also have higher rank students grading on this day so come and support. We already have over a dozen students attending.

Make sure you check the new time tables below for your class time, and new classes that have been introduced this year. Proactive now runs over 5o classes a week. We will be introducing more classes as well through out the year.

Get your place now for the Mat Reid Muay Thai Seminar on the 5 and 6 March. Ask your club head for a seminar flyer with all the details on it.
