One last reminder that there is NO KARATE TONIGHT due to Missoula Children’s Theatre practices.

Regular classes will resume next week with an additional class next Thursday evening. Please see the previous post for specifics.

See you at the dojo!

Just a reminder that we DO NOT  have classes this week due to Missoula Children’s Theatre at Carlyle Elementary School.

We will make up for the missed class next week…

Tuesday, November 5 – Regular classes; regular times
Thursday, November 7 –  JFK 6:30 to 7:30; Jr/Adult 7:30 to 9:00 at the regular dojo.

The tournament is coming up fast! Please consider contributing a small gift item for our raffle table. We also will be looking for volunteers to help out a little at the tournament doing some score keeping, working in the canteen, selling raffle tickets… We appreciate all the help our members offer!

See you at the dojo!

Congratulations to Sensei Kevin who earned the rank of Sandan (3rd degree) at the black belt grading in Manitoba this weekend! Way to go, Sensei!

Just a reminder that classes are cancelled for next week Tuesday, October 29, 2019.

We will have classes on two nights of the following week to make up for the missed class. We will have our regular classes on Tuesday, November 5, and we will have regular classes again on Thursday, November 7.

Thanks to everyone who showed up on Saturday to help make our Annual Bottle Drive another huge success!

Special thanks to those who donated the use of their trucks and trailers to help us collect and bring everything to Sarcan.

Check out the pics!

Today is the karate club’s 8th Annual Bottle Drive!

Please gather at the centre “shop” at the former OK Tire location at 9:00 am. We hope to be out in the town by 10:00am!

See you there!

Our annual Bottle Drive fundraiser is THIS SATURDAY!

Please meet at the western-most shop across from Chimo (formerly North American Lumber) at 9:00 am to get organized. We would like to get our trucks out in the town by 10:00 am. We can also always use volunteers to help with the sorting of the bottles and cans as they are returned to the shop.

Here’s a map to where the shop is…

See you Saturday!

Just a reminder that it’s Tuesday today! Regular classes at the regular times at the regular dojo today.

Our tournament is coming up fast. We will be looking for volunteers to help out with various aspects of the tournament. We strongly encourage everyone to participate in the tournament and clinic which is held the night before. They are great learning experiences and a lot of fun!

See you at the dojo!

Regular classes continue today!

It’s been great to have so many in class from the very first day! Keep up the great work!

See you at the dojo!

Classes begin today for the 2019-2020 karate season!!

If you were unable to come out and register last week, that’s just fine! We can get you signed up and started tonight at the first classes. Here’s a 2019-20 Registration Form. If you are registering tonight, please arrive a few minutes early to allow time for you to complete a registration form and any sizing or equipment orders you may require.

Just for Kicks (age 5, 6, 7) is 6:30 to 7:30 pm.
Jr/Adult (age 8 and up) is 7:30 to 9:00 pm.

Everyone is reminded to remove your shoes in the entry foyer before entering the dojo. Please place all shoes neatly along the sides of the entry.

All members, including non-training parents/guardians, should read the “Code of Conduct for Karate Students”

MEMBER CODE OF CONDUCT

All karate participants are reminded of the following:

• Remove ALL jewellery. Piercings which cannot be removed must be taped.
• Long hair should be held back. White or black is the preferred colour for hair bands. No barrettes, please.
• Finger/toe nails should be neatly trimmed short.
• For those without a gi… clothing should be appropriate for an athletic workout. Sweat pants and a t-shirt are acceptable. The pants should be approximately ankle length i.e. not dragging on the floor to avoid slipping.

“Karate begins and ends with Respect.” Respect and discipline are key components of martial arts training. A lack of either can result in injury among other things.

We are excited to get started!

See you at the dojo!
