/ moosemountainkarate

Great work last night, everyone! It was great to see some new faces joining us for the new session.

We have 1 more Tuesday class remaining before Christmas holidays! It’s hard to believe that the year has gone by so quickly! If anyone is interested in an extra workout before Christmas, remember that you can go to BUILT FOR LIFE gym on THURSDAY nights for an additional workout. Rumour has it there may be a special guest returning this Thursday for a visit?

Grading will take place in January. Keep checking here for more information on that.

Keep working hard! Really focus this week so you go into the holiday with solid foundations so you come back the same way in January.

Counting Down

Only a few days left until the holidays! It’s the perfect time to really focus and prepare for your holiday karate schedule!!

That’s right… holiday… karate… schedule!

Learn as much as you can before the holiday break; ask lots of questions; get those final few pointers on your katas and techniques and then work them over the break so you don’t forget everything you’ve worked on up till now. We don’t want to come back to regular work outs in a turkey-induced stupor and start from the beginning again!!

Just schedule 2 or 3 hours over the holidays to keep your karate in shape and, when you return, you’ll be ready for your grading!

See you tonight!

New Session Begins!

Session 2 begins next week, December 6. Please bring your registration fee on Tuesday.

Everyone should be practicing for the next grading. The Senseis will be talking about that a lot now and will soon give a date for the grading to take place.

See you Tuesday!

GREAT Tournament!!

/ moosemountainkarate

We hosted a great tournament this weekend! Way to go everyone who helped out and particpated!

For our tournament newbies… it likely didn’t take long to realize what a friendly and supportive environment the tournament is. Every person in that room remembers their first tournament vividly. We were all a bit nervous and just a little tense before the kumite portion of our division started… “what are the other competitors going to be like?” Well, now that the first one is in the books, we can start planning for the next tournament we’ll attend!!

Just a couple of things…

We are MISSING a pair of Reebok running shoes, size 12. Please check to make sure that you have the correct shoes.

Also, there were some items left at the tournament so if we don’t have them in the club’s lost and found, you can check the lost and found at the high school.

Regular classes continue on Tuesday and we’ll start preparing for the first grading of the year! See you Tuesday.

One More Workout…

until our tournament!!!

That’s right, the tournament is only a few days away so we really need to keep working hard. The registration form is here: 2011 Tournament Registration Form

Many of us have signed up to help at the tournament doing various jobs from the canteen to the prize raffle table. But just because you didn’t sign up, don’t hesitate to go and offer your help to someone. Maybe the merchandise table needs a hand at a busy time, or the canteen is busy… Just go up and say, “Hey! I’m going to help!” You won’t be turned away!

Keep working on those katas and remember – block and counter; block and counter!

Also, don’t forget that order forms for the duffle bags are due on November 29! Here is the order form: Duffle Bag Order Form2011
