We have to postpone our work bee for tonight! Thanks to everyone who said they could make it. We’ll be rescheduling soon and will let you know when that is.
Our work bee for tomorrow is STILL ON. We can still use plenty of help tomorrow.
Thanks for your patience as we work towards the opening of our own dojo!
See you at the dojo!
That’s right… Moose Mountain Karate Club is opening our very own dojo in our very own space! We’re moving into the bay beside Living Skies Crossfit, but we need some help to get started.
We need to start getting the dojo ready for classes which means a couple of Cleaning Work Bees to get things going before our new flooring arrives at the end of August!
The work bees will be on the evenings of Tuesday, August 18 and Wednesday, August 19 starting at 6:00 pm AT THE NEW DOJO! It’s fun to say that!
Many hands make light work, so it would be great to have lots of help from our members. We will be sending out emails and possibly contacting members personally to ask for assistance.
There is so much potential in this new facility, and we are excited to get working on it! We look forward to working with everyone on our new karate home!
SEE YOU AT THE DOJO!
Wow! What a wild ride we’ve been on for the past few months! We hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer! We hope that everyone has been keeping up with their karate practice during the time we’ve been kept out of the dojo!
We just wanted to put up a short message to let everyone know that we are making plans to have karate classes resume in the fall!
That’s right… keep checking here in the next few weeks to keep up with our progress, and to know when registration will begin.
As with most things reopening… we will have some very strict guidelines to follow, both provincially, and from our federation. Many things have and will be changing. We ask for your patience and understanding as we work hard to resume our karate classes with the karateka we miss so much!
So keep checking. Stay healthy!
See you at the dojo!

Hopefully you have all been trying to keep up with your karate practice at least a little bit! Good for you for keeping your skills in shape!
Here are some links to some of our own SWKKF people doing some karate practice that you can follow. You only need a little bit of space for these workouts/drills and the videos will be good reminders for you as well.
We’ll start with Sensei Neil Prime. He has a good “hotel room” drill to keep your kicks in shape! I’ll also include a video of him doing chi (power) kata.
Have fun!
