It’s been quite a while since our newsletter came out. Several developments across the club are happening as of this writing. I will try to share as much information as possible through this newsletter. For the last few months, we have been busy with events and activities related to tournaments and gradings.
We have seen members winning medals in the tournaments and getting promotions to their following belt levels. Congratulations!!
I welcome our new members who joined us recently and in the past months. You are all doing great, and some of you will go for your Yellow belt grading this month. So keep practising hard!
Your attendance is necessary for your training; we see some members missing classes regularly and without notice. Please be regular and inform us in writing if you miss classes. The best way to report absences is to email support@budokan.co.nz.
Go hard with your training and enjoy your new techniques and moves!
