SESSION 2 began before Christmas break, so all fees for this session are due this week. All session fees MUST be paid to be eligible for the GRADING.

Regular classes resume this Tuesday, January 7, 2025 at the regular times. Our GRADING is taking place on Tuesday, January 14, 2025 during regular class times.

Our tournament and clinic begin tomorrow!!

The clinic begins tomorrow evening, Friday, November 30 at 6:30 pm with our Youth clinic for ages 5 to 11 followed by the Jr/Adult clinic for ages 12 and up at 7:30 pm.

The tournament portion of the weekend begins on Saturday morning with registration from 9:00 to 9:45 am, and the bow-in at 10:00 am. The black belt competition will be first with the Just for Kicks competition starting around 11:00 am.

Our members are not required to participate in the tournament, but it would be great to see everyone there helping out in some capacity. EVERYONE can bring their raffle table prizes to Regal Autobody or to Sensei Kevin at the high school in Carlyle.

See you at the tournament!

Our tournament is coming up fast! We are looking forward to all of our karate friends returning to Carlyle to participate in our annual tournament. Although not required, we really hope all of our members participate in the tournament. If you are unable to compete, there are always many other ways to participate. We always need help at the scoring tables, in the canteen, at the raffle table, at the registration table… the list goes on. Many hands make light work!

The clinic is being held on Friday, November 29th, and the tournament is Saturday, November 30th. Sensei Denis Labbé will be attending and leading the clinic on Friday evening. See below for the schedule.

Here is the Registration Form if you wish to download it and bring it with you to the tournament. Please do not bring it to the dojo before the tournament. If you have any questions, please ask a sensei at class.

See you at the dojo!
