JANE
We have a new addition to the CJA team this year! Our very own Rose amongst the Thorns, Jane Stewart will be joining us as a full time instructor. Many of you will have seen, and know Jane, and what a fantastic job she does teaching and interacting with the children. At the end of 2014, Jane graded for her Senior Brown Belt. She is the first female in CJA to achieve this rank.
We welcome Jane, and wish her a fantastic year!
SELF-DEFENCE PEPPER SPRAY – COMING SOON!
We will be selling self-defense / pepper spray. We believe in “Safety First!” Pepper spray comes highly recommended as a viable form of self-defense, allowing you to incapacitate an opponent, and keep you / your family safe.
The pepper spray will have CJA branding.
It is a 60ml canister of direct steam spray. Expiry date: 05/2019 and costs R120
Ok folks all for now – so excited to see all the faces again and to meet all the new students that are joining us this year
Have an awesome day
Mike
