HILLCREST DOJO, HAMILTON
OPENING 26th October 2018
Renshi Lucas will open a new dojo, the Hillcrest dojo, at Hillcrest Normal school, 218 Cambridge Road, Hillcrest on the 26th October 2018. Renshi Lucas' last class at Dinsdale will be the 24th September. Renshi Rohan will take over the Monday night classes and will continue teaching the Thursday class. Sempai Saheb will continue to support Renshi Rohan in both classes and is currently in training to take over the Thursday class early in 2019.
We thank Renshi Lucas for his service at Dinsdale for the last two years. He is sad to leave the students and only does so in the knowledge that he is leaving the students in great hands with Renshi Rohan, supported by Black tip Saheb Singh.
