"Leave your ego at the door"
News 16/12/02
We both want to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Stay safe and have fun. We also had an awesome Christmas Party on the 14/12/02. Look out for photos to be posted at the academy and on the website. Thanks to co-host Kris Nubla who celebrated his 21st birthday and having the party at his house.
Christmas and New Year Timetable
We will be open over Christmas and New Year with the exception of the public holidays. From Monday the 23/12/02 to Saturday 4/1/03 it will be "OPEN MAT". This means that the scheduled classes are still in effect and we will be there to instruct. The difference is that it will be more informal with a chance for everyone to work on their own personal techniques and goals.
