If you would like to purchase one of these bags, please contact Sensei Kevin ASAP! The cost “as is” without any name is $65. If you would like to add a name, we can send it in when our large bags go in on Wednesday, the cost will be an additional $6 per word. Price does not include tax. You can email Sensei Kevin at the following address if you want to claim a bag now before the rush for them on Tuesday. Consider this a bonus for being a blog follower!! Here’s the email address: info@moosemountainkarate.com This is a first come, first served offer ending once all 4 bags are spoken for. They look really good!

Here are the pics of the bags. They are red in color like our other bags but this photo makes them look a little on the pink side. Trust us, they’re very red!

Great Workout!

Way to go, everyone! We had another great turnout last night for an excellent workout. For being so early in the season, everyone is moving really well.

On a dojo note… We are up to 94 registered students with more contacting us each week. These are exciting times for us!

We ask for your continued patience as our enrolment increases and we make changes to our administration methods. The new electronic bar-code sign-in method seems to be settling in nicely.

Keep practicing your techniques and kata at home so you stay sharp and are ready to progress while in class by building upon those skills you have practiced.

See you at the dojo.

Great News!

We are very pleased to announce that Sensei Darren Humphries will be leading the clinic portion of our tournament this year!

Both events will take place at G.F. Kells High School in Carlyle.

Sensei Darren is a Godan (5th degree Black Belt) from Calgary, AB.

He is a 3-time member of the Shintani National Team having represented Canada in a number of events.

Exciting Workout!

Great work on Tuesday, everyone! It’s so nice to see so many karateka on the floor working hard and sweating hard! And you never know what’s going to happen to make the evening even more exciting! All’s well that ends well!

Keep up the good work everyone and try to practice at home between classes. It only takes a few minutes to work a few techniques and run some “carpet kata” at home.

See you at the dojo!

Workout Tonight!

Just a reminder that our regular workouts resume tonight.

We’ll be trying out our new “Barcode” sign-in method today for the first time! Please be patient with us as we implement these gradual changes in an effort to better organize the operation of our club.

Just for your information… So far we have registered 80 students from age 5 to 45! We are so lucky to have a great group of karateka working together in our part of the province. Keep working hard, everyone!

See you at the dojo.
