Warrior Kids Returns



After a year's break, youth work and award-winning author Tim Tipene is back teaching his Warrior Kids and Master Arts classes.

Tim has set up a customised studio for his classes alongside his home in Ranui, West Auckland.

A 5th Dan Black Belt with a graduate certificate in child and adolescent mental health, Tim started his Warrior Kids programme in 1994.

The martial-arts based programme, which teaches children resilience and self-control, has become a fixture in schools and communities for over 18 years, reaching thousands of children. The Master Arts classes teach teenagers and adults the finer aspects of martial arts in the pursuit of self-mastery.

“I’m delighted to be back offering classes from our new studio, and look forward to enriching the lives of children, teenagers and adults through Warrior Kids and Master Arts,” Tim said.

Tim is also an award-winning author; his ninth book, the young adult novel Patu, was released last November by local publisher Oratia Media and has gained a strong response in New Zealand and overseas.

Tim Tipene runs weekly Warrior Kids and Master Arts Classes in West Auckland. For more information visit www.warriorkids.org or

Libro in Tokyo



This bookstore in the Shiodome City Center in Tokyo's Shimbashi district caught my eye during our recent stay in Japan. It's good to see that Libro means book even in Japan!
