Congratulations! A tip about those stripes. And the KICK-A-THON.

/ moosemountainkarate

… to all of the students who successfully graded up tonight! It was a great turn-out for an excellent grading.

The Senseis would also like to give a special shout to Sensei Cara for all of her work organizing and preparing the grading forms! Thank you, Sensei!

Regular classes resume next week.

KEEP GETTING THOSE PLEDGES FOR THE KICK-A-THON!! Pledge forms and funds are to be handed in to Sensei Kevin. Our kick-a-thon activity will be held on Tuesday, February 18 during the regular class times.

Here’s a tip for our new members trying to figure out what to do with those stripes!!

The stripes should be sewn onto the belt on the plain end (the side without the label). They are usually placed about a finger width apart just so they look good and organized. That also makes it easier for the Senseis to see just how many stripes the student has. The sewing doesn’t have to be some fancy stitching. Just enought to keep it from falling off.

Kyu Belt Grading Tomorrow and…

Remember the kyu belt grading is tomorrow at 6:00 pm!

Please note the time.

Just For Kicks class is cancelled this week due to the grading and will resume next week.

There are also some articles of clothing that were left on the edge of the stage. We’re not sure if they belong to one of our members or a student at the school so check out the image below to see if they belong to you or someone you know.

KICK – A – THON information:

Tonight we introduced you to the new “Annual Kick-a-Thon” being started by the Shintani Federation as way for the organization to become more visible while contributing to the communities we serve.

This year, our designated charity is the Carlyle KidSport organization which helps families in our area enrol their children in organized sporting activities. All of the money raised will stay in our area.

Let’s show them what Saskatchewan can do!!!

See you at the dojo.

Another excellent Tournament!

/ moosemountainkarate

Sensei Alby has had another excellent tournament in Melita, MB!

Close to 40 participants in 11 divisions took part in the Melita Mini Tournament yesterday. The day began with a self-defence clinic led by Sensei Alby. Sensei always does a great job of these clinics showing the participants many ways to deal with a personal assault. His workshops are always well instructed and demonstrate the effectiveness of karate in these situations.

It was nice to see a few participants from our dojo attend the tournament as well. Congratulations to Jaython, Gerren, Payton, Ethan, Quinn, and Sensei Kevin for doing a great job representing our dojo.
