This week was the start of Session 3. If you haven’t yet paid your fees, please do so next week.
Congratulations to Telia Dolphin who medalled in Kumite at the Calgary Tournament. Way to go, Telia! That’s a big tournament! Thanks for representing our club so well.
We would also like to send our condolences out to the karate families in Boissevain who are mourning the loss of a young member of their club who died in a tragic snow mobile accident last week.
Welcome Back, everyone! Hopefully anyone who was able to take a holiday is feeling refreshed and raring to get back at it!!
Regular classes resume this week. See you at the dojo.
Just a reminder that there is an optional class this Tuesday for those who are around.
Hamiota Tournament and Clinic is next weekend.
Have a good holiday week!
We’ve just set up a new Twitter account! So for those of you who are into “Tweeting”, you can follow us!
Below is a photo of the Hamiota Tournament flyer. There is also a link to download a copy for yourself.
It would be great to see a number of our karateka out supporting this tournament. Especially since it is so close to us (about 180 KM or so).

There is an update to the “Virden” tournament information.
This year, the tournament will be held in Hamiota, MB. It is approximately 180 KM from Carlyle just a little north of Virden. It would be great to see many of our members attending this tournament and workout. The dates are Friday, February 24 – Evening Workout; Saturday, February 25 – Tournament.
See you there.
The duffle bags have arrived and will be available at tonight’s workout.
Tournament season is upon us and there are a number of exciting tournament approaching. Some are nearby, others are further away. All of the are exciting and unique.
The next “near” tournament is the “VIRDEN WADO-KAI KARATE TOURNAMENT” held in Virden, MB. The dates for this tournament are FEBRUARY 24 & 25, 2012. This is an excellent tournament for us since it is the Manitoba Provincial tournament and it is so close to our own dojo. It would be great for a group of karateka to attend. Like our tournament, there is a workout on Friday night and then the tournament on Saturday. More details will be posted soon.
Even before the Virden tournament is the Whitecourt Wado Kai – Clinic And Tournament. The dates for this tournament are February 10 – 12, 2012. Download the tournament form Whitecourt Tournament 2012. This tournament also includes an advanced Brown/Black Belt workout on the Sunday if some of our advanced karateka are interested in attending.
Congratulations to everyone who participated in the grading last night. Even taking part in the workout is a rewarding experience.
Special congratulations to those of you who were awarded promotions!
A wise person once said, “… don’t treat a grading just like any other workout; treat every workout as if it were a grading.” Another wise person puts it this way, “Practice like you play!”
Well done, everyone!
There will be a grading for the Adult/Jr. class on Tuesday, January 24 at the regular class time of 7:30 p.m.
Be sure to bring along your GRADING FORM AND FEES so that everything is in order for the grading.
Come early and stretch/warm-up so that you are ready to take the floor and begin promptly at 7:30!
Good Luck.
CONGRATULATIONS to all of the Just for Kicks students who were awarded stripes/belts at the grading last week! Way to go, everyone!!
