Regular classes begin today!

Just for Kicks (age 5, 6, 7) from 6:30 to 7:30 pm.

Jr/Adult (age 8 up) from 7:30 to 9:00 pm.

Our regular dojo is the Carlyle Elementary School gym. Please use the North gym doors off of the bus parking lot to enter the dojo.

If this is your first karate class, please remember the following:

Karate is practiced in bare feet. Please leave your shoes in the entry foyer or at the edge of the gym. We need to keep the dojo floor as clean as we can.

Please remove all jewellery and piercings if possible. This is as much for your safety as it is for your training partners.

If you don’t yet own a karate gi, a t-shirt and sweats are fine. Try to wear sweats that don’t extend much past the ankles. Wear a shirt that can be grabbed and yanked.

Please trim your finger and toe nails. You’d be surprised at the kind of scar a rogue toenail can leave on a training partner.

Groin protection is highly recommended for all karate students. Home Hardware in Carlyle usually has several different kinds in stock.

Most importantly… be patient… some techniques can be confusing at first, but with practice will become second nature. 

Have fun!

See you at the dojo!

Regular karate classes begin on Tuesday, September 19!

Just for Kicks (age 5, 6, 7) – 6:30 to 7:30 pm

Jr/Adult – 7:30 to 9:00 pm

All members are reminded to remove all jewellery, and piercings if possible. Exposed piercings, on the face and head especially, that cannot be removed must be taped.We can help with that!

Finger and toe nails should trimmed short. People with longer hair may wish to put it up, or keep it back with a headband. Ideally, headbands should be black or white in colour.

Karate is practiced in bare feet. If you do not yet have a gi, workout wear that can be grabbed and yanked will suffice until your gi arrives. Sweatpants should not extend past the ankles.

See you at the dojo!

Try to keep up your karate over the “off-season”, by doing your katas and practicing some techniques for a few minutes every day. It is a way to get moving during the lazy days of summer, and gets you ready to pick up where you left off when the karate season begins again in September!

If you are a black belt candidate, be sure to keep checking the 2017 Black Belt Grading page for updates.

We may hold the occasional work out during the summer. They will be short-notice events, often with only a day or so notice given on this web page. Keep your eyes open for those.

See you at the dojo!
