We are no longer having classes at the United Church on Tuesday!

Classes this week have been rescheduled for Thursday, November 19 in our regular dojo at the regular times. It was determined that the United Church simply would not have enough space to accommodate our full classes.

The classes this week will focus on tournament “etiquette” and procedures. Like many things in the martial arts, tradition and respect play a large role in the tournaments. Each student will have an opportunity to work on their kata and kumite in a tournament ring type setting.

It is important that members planning to attend the tournament make every effort to attend their class on Thursday. A secondary benefit to class being on Thursday, is that everything should be nice and fresh in everyone’s mind for the tournament on Saturday.

Hopefully everyone can make it to the rescheduled classes.

See you at the dojo!

Just a reminder that regular classes are being held tonight at the REGULAR TIMES IN THE REGULAR PLACE!!

There is no need to wait until the tournament day to register!

You can register online through the Shintani Federation web site. Fees are collected at the tournament. The online registration form REQUIRES a passbook number. If you are a new member and don’t yet have a passbook, you can simply enter 1111 and it should accept your registration.

Everyone who registers MUST check in when arriving at the tournament. Fees are to be paid at check in. Registration can be done before the Friday night clinic OR before the beginning of the tournament on Saturday.

Here’s a neat video for everyone to watch.

Are you throwing your techniques with this kind of focus and power?!

We can now add names to any duffle bag/backpack you wish to order.

We have also learned that there are currently NO RED BACKPACKS AVAILABLE. So, if you want to order a backpack, it looks like your only option is black, but that’s cool!!

If you would like to add a first and last name to your order, please add the desired embroidery in clear, easy-to-read printing under the choice of colour. Then ADD $6.00 to the initial cost, ADD 10% tax and fill in your total in the space provided.

If you have already submitted an order form and would like to add embroidery, please bring a cheque or cash to class on Thursday, November 12 to pay the difference in cost (or fill out another order form and we can destroy the previous one and return your initial payment). We apologize for the inconvenience.
