Lazy days of summer?! Not a chance!

Get your kicks this summer!

Summer is a great time to enjoy practicing your karate in new environments and at any time of day!

Try doing some katas super slow in bare feet on the lawn! It feels great, and gives you a chance to perfect your positions while enjoying the fresh air. You can make a routine out of it. Enjoy your morning cup of coffee on the deck and then, literally, kick your day off with a great, relaxing kata or some other techniques. It’s also a great way to end your day. As the evening air begins to cool along with the grass, you can add another slow work out to calm your system before you settle in for the night.

Keep checking here for information about Fall Registration Night and the beginning of regular classes.

See you at the dojo!

Congratulations!

… to everyone who participated in the grading yesterday!

It was an excellent evening of hard work and sweat. Everyone was doing their very best, and the joseki board could tell!

Next week is the wind-up. The club will be providing the meat (burgers and hot dogs) and everyone is invited to bring a potluck appetizer, salad, dessert, or whatever!

The wind-up on May 28 will begin at 6:30 at the dojo!

See you at the dojo!

GRADING!

The grading for the JUST FOR KICKS class will begin on Tuesday, May 21 at 6:00 pm.

The Jr/Adult grading will begin at 7:00 pm

Please try to arrive early to do your own warm-up. 

See you at the dojo!

Last regular class of the season tonight!

Tonight’s class at the Whitebear dojo will be the last class of this karate season.

If you want one more chance to sharpen up your techniques and kata for the grading on Tuesday, this is your last chance to do so with a Sensei.

Keep practicing your karate at home. Be sure to pay attention to the comments made to you by the Sensei. A good rule of thumb is if a Sensei says to the group that stances need to be lower, assume it’s you they are talking about and get lower.

Keep practicing! See you at the dojo!

Last Class to Sharpen Up!

This Thursday’s class at the Whitebear dojo will be the last class of the regular season for our club! If you want one more chance to work things out before the grading on Tuesday, May 21, then this is your last opportunity to do so.

Classes are held at the usual times at the Whitebear Education Complex. This will also be the final class of the season at the Whitebear dojo.

After the grading on Tuesday, we will be having our annual wind-up on Tuesday, May 28 at the Carlyle dojo. Everyone is welcome. The club will supply the burgers and hot dogs, we just ask everyone to come with a potluck appetizer, salad, or dessert.

Keep practicing! See you at the dojo!
