What a great work out last night! I’m sure many of us are still “Feeling the Burn” from all of the push ups and crunches! We’ll definitely move faster to find a partner from now on!!

Good work, everyone!

The Saskatoon tournament is coming up quickly at the end of the month. It would be great to see lots of us up there to support the tournament. Sensei Crystal and Sensei Jeremy are great for bringing lots of participants to our tournament. Let’s repay them by attending theirs!! The downloadable brochure is available HERE.

Just a reminder that we have started a new Session so please pay any fees that you may have outstanding.

Congratulations to Sempai Hannah who was our only club representative at the South Calgary Tournament this past weekend.

Hannah placed 3rd in kumite! Good job, Hannah!

Good luck to everyone who is going to the South Calgary Tournament this weekend. It looks like it will be a lot of fun!

Like the title says… There IS karate tonight.

Of course, use your judgment and if you don’t feel comfortable out in these temperatures or don’t completely trust your vehicle then please don’t take any chances.

Otherwise, we’ll see you tonight!

Congratulations to everyone who went to the Manitoba Provincial Tournament in Virden this weekend! We had a number of members in attendance and they represented our club very well! Good job!

We’ll see everyone at class on Tuesday and find out, in person, how everyone did.

Also a reminder that the South Calgary Tournament is being held this weekend for anyone interested.

See you tomorrow!

Just a reminder that the Manitoba Provincial Wado-Kai Karate Tournament is THIS weekend at the VIRDEN COLLEGIATE. There is a work-out on Friday night with Sensei Denis Labbé, the President of the SWKKF. The tournament itself takes place on Saturday. The information flyer can be found in previous posts below and on our Events page.

Thanks to everyone who came out on Tuesday. Especially the school students who are “On Holiday”! Your dedication is noticed and appreciated.

Good luck to everyone who goes to Virden!

See you at our regular work-out on Tuesday!

There IS class next week for those able to make it.

Well done to everyone who came out this week. The new Banner looks great!

Remember that Randori is slow motion! The whole idea is to learn to see techniques coming in and try various blocks and/or counters in an easier way. Then things speed up gradually until you are in full speed kumite.

Also, remember that the Manitoba Provincial Wado-Kai Karate Tournament is next weekend, February 25 and 26, in Virden, MB. at the Virden Collegiate. Good luck to everyone who attends.

There are some great tournaments coming up soon.

Check out the previous post for info about the Virden, Manitoba Provincial Tournament on February 25 & 26.

There is also the SOUTH CALGARY WADO-KAI KARATE TOURNAMENT being held March 3 to 5, 2011 in Calgary.

There is a great package of information about the Calgary tournament that is available here: South Calgary Spring_Tournament_2011

It is a fantastic flyer with all the information you might require.

Two thumbs up to everyone who came out on Tuesday night!! It was another blustery, freezing cold night so it was great to see so many people at the work out!

We will have regular class again on Tuesday, February 15.

Also, remember that the Manitoba Provincial Wado-Kai Karate Tournament is being held in Virden on Saturday, February 26, 2011 at the Virden Collegiate. There will be a Workout on Friday, February 25 with Sensei Dennis Labbé who is an 8th Degree (Hachidan) Black Belt and the President of our Shintani Karate Federation.

What are the chances that it would be super cold for 2 Tuesdays in a row? Obviously, fairly good!

Classes tonight will be considered OPTIONAL. Please take care in the cold weather with these extreme wind chills!

See you tonight.
