Archive for December, 2008

Well yesterday was the last day for training in 2008. Everybody have a Merry Christmas and a happy safe new year. Fifteen of us are off to Thailand in a couple of days for the New Year and for the fights. The clubs reopen on Wednesday the 7th January 2009. Templeton opens on Monday the 12th January. I will try to post while I am away.

Thank you to everybody who supported the end of year Proactive awards night. We had a lot of laughs through out the night and a few were a little worse for wear on Sunday. Congratulations to Mike on the Gold Bushdio and to all those others who received awards on the night. I must say a big thank you to the team who organised the party and Debs the team leader. Yes I did enjoy cutting up the TV screen with a Katana from the inside to start the awards. Fantastic idea who ever came up with it.

Thanks to the group who have put together the end of year awards party for tonight. This is definitely our biggest one yet. The thought that has gone into the set up is going to make for a fantastic night.
Sorry no door sales.

Well done to everybody who graded last weekend. We now have ten new Shodan Ho’s, with three from the same family grading on the day. I will get some photos up in the gallery in the weekend.

Those wanting to fight in the next Proactive fight night need to give their names to their head instructor. It will be on Saturday the 4th April. We already have over thirty students wishing to compete at the next show so it will just depend on weather we can match you up evenly and if there is room on the fight card, as we will only be having 10 fights. We already have some very interesting match ups.

This Thursday 4th December at 8:10pm we will be meeting in the Riccarton Club lounge Bar to watch the Proactive fight night on the large screen. Students and friends are welcome.

Our end of year grading is on this Saturday starting at 1pm.
Doors open at 12:30pm

Those students that are interested in going to Thailand this coming January 09 need to get hold of Anna this week. We have managed to get hold of very cheap airfares so will have them all booked by the end of next week. Also please let me know if you are wanting to fight while you are there so we can make sure you have correct insurance and get your training plan down. It looks like we might have two groups going over as well as some of us are going over early to get some extra training in and for new years eve.
