Karate Classes Tomorrow; Bottle Drive on Saturday!

Just a reminder that regular classes are tomorrow (Tuesday). It’s easy to forget when Monday is a holiday!

Our ANNUAL BOTTLE DRIVE is this Saturday, October 13. We will meet at 10:00 am at the far-west shop along hwy 13. West of OK Tire. Groups will be arranged and off we go! Anyone who can help is encouraged to come out. The funds raised from this event go directly to our “Travel Fund” which is used only to assist members with travel expenses to tournaments and workshops. More details will be given in class.

Order forms will be handed out this week for Hoodies and t-shirts. Announcements will be made. Be sure to try on a sizer sample at class. Don’t forget about the jacket order forms as well!

See you at the dojo!

Regular Class Tonight!

Now that classes are in full-swing, be sure to check out our Code of Conduct page for guidelines for our karateka (students) and yodansha (black belts).

Also make sure that you are adhering to the karate clothing and hygiene guidelines. Wearing a gi is preferred; it should be white. If you don’t yet have a gi, please make sure that you are wearing sweats that do NOT drag on the floor (you could slip), and an appropriate t-shirt. ALL jewelry should be removed. If it cannot be removed, it should be taped. Finger/toe nails should be trimmed fairly short. No one wants a scar from someone’s toe nail!

Remember that karate class is a time to clear your mind of other distractions. Focus on the techniques you are performing, and always try to make the next repetition better than the previous one.

One of the most important things about karate class… SHOW UP! That doesn’t mean just to be physically in the dojo. It also means show up to work hard, to learn something new, to improve a previously learned skill, to spend time with like-minded people all working hard, and to HAVE FUN!

See you at the dojo!
