\u201cThe sessions will be 50 per cent fitness orientated and 50 per cent mindfulness and motivational speaking, with opportunities to ask questions.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Dojo has already hosted two Be Your Best – Bursting Through COVID-19 training sessions in partnership with Vault Fitness on Sundays in August.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe had some brand-new people turn up with nothing to do with the karate group, and they had a blast,\u201d Mr Murphy said.<\/p>\n
\u201cCome along to the next sessions and be involved at your own level in the supportive environment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Teesdale Dojo launched in 2011 when Mr Murphy moved out of Geelong with his wife, and into the country town.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere was a community interest in karate, the local hall became available, and we\u2019ve been there ever since.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are a number of other clubs in the region that have come and gone, but Teesdale has always ensured good numbers and community support,\u201d Mr Murphy said.<\/p>\n
The fitness series has been funded by the Golden Plains Shire in partnership with the Victorian Government\u2019s Community Activation and Social Isolation initiative.<\/p>\n
