December Newsletter
Dynamic Martial Arts-December 2011Newletter
Welcome all,
This is the last newsletter of 2011, boy so much has changed! New gym opened, myself taking over all kickboxing classes and a whole heap of new members.
Kick Bags
First item is our bags. We are waiting for Terry from Giant Engineering to finalize this. Terry is doing this for us in his own time, unfortunately due to the amount of work he has on there isn't much of his own time, he is hoping to sort this out during December and then he will move onto our ring.
Training Schedule for Christmas and a Themed training session
I have decided to open over Xmas with a limited schedule for the period of 23rd December till 7th January. I will put the Xmas schedule up at the gym by the 3rd Dec.
There will be a themed training session in the week between Christmas day and New Year’s day. The theme has not yet been decided. Please get your ideas in before the social evening and we will do our own election that night! I will post the options on Facebook on the Friday night. If you are unable to attend the social evening you can send your proxy vote to me. I will count the votes and but not take part in the voting! Umm I may regret this!
Only current training members or ex-members may vote.
Class Sizes
As you may have noticed the club has grown considerably over the last few weeks. Even though we have 140sq meters of mat to train on, I suspect we are reaching the limit of how many can train at once. I would like to trial having 32 members train in one class. I am looking for the following.
- Do we actually fit! I hear lots of clubs "pack them in". But really is there enough room to actually train.
- Can I provide the same quality of service that I do for 24 students if we add another 8 members to the mat.
- How do you as members feel about it? Is 32 too many? Do you feel like a sardine?
Another option is tweaking the class schedule so I can fit another cardio class in at 7pm, but this may mean changing cardio nights Tuesday and Thursday with kickboxing on Monday and Wednesday.
Everything will be done with feedback from you; at the end of the day there is no point in changing the club from somewhere you enjoy coming too, to a place you don't like.
Dynamic on the Internet...
We have a website @ www.kickboxing.org.nz where information on our club can be found, we are also on Facebook (a lot lol). My account is Dynamic-Martial Arts send a friend request.
What the future holds in 2012.
Kid’s classes
I have already started junior classes for members 9 to 14 years old. They are known as the Wolves. In February I will be starting classes for 5 to 8 years old and they will be called the Tiny Tigers.
Class numbers in the Tiny Tigers are limited to 16 members and 20 members in the Wolves. So if you know of anyone who would like to join these classes let me know as soon as possible to reserve a spot.
Morning classes
I will be changing the days and adding an extra day to the morning sessions. From Monday 9th January, classes will be
- Monday 9am - 10am
- Wednesday 9am - 10am
- Thursday 9am - 10am
Please note there will be no morning classes on Friday
One-on-one training
Dynamic Martial Arts will be offering private one-on-one or couples personal training.
They will be priced $35 for 30 minute only or $60 for the full hour.
Self defence
Next year we will be holding self-defence sessions, these will most likely be on Sundays once a month as a 3 hour seminar.
Rebrand
As you will have noticed there is a lot of Nibun branded gear still around the gym, over the next couple of months you will see this being changed to Dynamic Martial Arts branding.
If anyone wants to know the history of Nibun > Dynamic I am more than happy to tell people, but too long for newsletter!
New logo will out for everyone to see on the social night.
As you can see there is a lot going on, plus much more in wings that I can't release just yet.
My aim for Dynamic Martial Arts is to be the best club to you our members.
Cheers
Dave
