Thank you to everyone who came out last night!

It was fun to work a bunch of different techniques and drills with everyone.

We want to wish all of our students and web site subscribers a very Merry Christmas, and all the best in the New Year!

We are already eagerly waiting for January 8, 2019 when classes resume!

The 1st Annual Regina Tournament takes place on January 25/26, 2019! We would love to see many of our members attend that event to kick off their first tournament with a bang! Details to follow soon! 

See you at the dojo!

A reminder that fees for Session 2 were due two weeks ago!

Please bring your fees to class this week. Those students with outstanding fees will be unable to sign-in when we return after Christmas until the fees are paid.

Thank you!

Code of Conduct

This week is the last class before the Christmas break!

Have a great class, a Merry Christmas, a Happy New Year, and we’ll see you back in class on Tuesday, January 8, 2019!

See you at the dojo!

… bringing the cans and bottles to Redvers Sarcan on SATURDAY… Tomorrow!!

If you can come to the same shop where we did the bottle drive to help load them into trailers, that would be great!

If you can bring a truck and/or trailer with you, that would be great also!

We’re meeting at 9:30 am on Saturday, December 15 at the bottle drive shop.

See you there!

The Harmonizer

… to everyone who participated in the grading on Tuesday! The process of simply participating in a grading is a great demonstration of character for a karateka.

Congratulations, also, to all those who advanced in rank. The belts we wear in the dojo are lasting evidence of the hard work we have done, and the commitment we have shown to our karate training. Way to go!

If you didn’t advance, try not to look at it like a failure. Instead, approach it as an opportunity to do even better at the next grading. Your Sensei look at many aspects of your karate development when deciding to advance your rank. Whatever the reason, they have your best karate interests at heart, and ultimately want to see you do well. Awarding a student a rank for which they aren’t ready is actually more of a disservice than a favour.

Remember… karate-do is a “way” not a destination.

The grading will take place tonight as previously scheduled.

We will be starting at the regular class time, so please do not be late to class today, or you may not qualify for your grading!

Good luck to everyone! Work hard!

See you at the dojo!

We have added a new page to our web site!

If you were wondering where we come up with grading eligibility guidelines, they are provided to us by the Federation.

The new page, simply called Gradings, gives the details directly out of the SWKKF manual.

Check it out! Gradings

We plan to begin adding the dates of upcoming club/black belt gradings to this page.

See you at the dojo!

With the uncertainty of having consistent power, cooling temps in the dojo, and members who travel to attend classes, we have decided to cancel all karate classes tonight, Tuesday, December 4, 2018.

We apologize for any inconvenience. Please feel free to share this message.
