Activ8 Martial Arts

From the beginning of Term 3 Activ8 will be merging with Tenacity Martial Arts to form a single Zen Do Kai club for the ACT under the Tenacity banner. Together, we will continue to train on the same days and times at both the Pearce and Fyshwick locations but the clubs will be united. Training at the Pearce location will be Mondays and Wednesdays 6-7pm for the Kids Karate and 7-8pm for youth and adult Zen Do Kai. Training at The Stockade on Kembla Street in Fyshwick is Tuesdays at 7-8pm and Thursdays 6.30 to 7.30. We look forward to seeing all current, returning and new students as we go forwards together.

Recently the Activ8 Black Belts, State Head Hanshi Steve Newton along with Sensei Brani and others from Tenacity Martial Arts attended the BJMA/ ZDK 55th Anniversary Gala Dinner in Melbourne. Great weekend catching up with old friends and meeting new ones.
