Here are some shots from the workouts today. It was great!

 

 

The open training session with the National Team is today starting at 9:30 am. 

This session is being held in G.F. Kells High School gym, the same location as the clinic and tournament.

The clinic  and dance are taking place this evening with the clinic beginning at 6:30 pm for ages 5 to 12 and then continuing from 7:30 to 9:00 pm for ages 13 and up.

The dance begins shortly after 9:00 pm once the DJ is set up and ready to go.

It should be an excellent day!

The Shintani National Team will be holding an open workout at Gordon F. Kells High School in Carlyle on Friday, November 20!

The workout is open to Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation members age 13 or Green belt and up.

There is no charge to attend the workout. Participants can make a voluntary donation.

The day will begin at 9:30 am with work on kata until lunch at 11:00 am. The workout will resume at 12:30 pm with kumite until 2:30 or 3:00 pm.

Lunch is being provided for the team members and coaches, guests will be provided with a list of local restaurants (Subway, A&W, Dairy Queen for fast food – The Office Bar and Grill as a sit down restaurant if you want to be late for the afternoon session).

There is no pre-registration required. Participants can just show up at the “gym” doors of G.F. Kells High School in time to change and warm up. The training begins promptly at 9:30 am.

This is an excellent opportunity for Shintani members in our area. If you have never trained with the team before, it is an excellent experience!

Just a reminder that karate has been rescheduled to Thursday night… again!

Classes will be at the regular times in the regular dojo!

Please remember to bring your prize table donations and any last minute duffle bag/backpack order forms!

This is our last chance to go through our tournament process, katas, and kumite practice in the ring.

See you at the dojo!

We are no longer having classes at the United Church on Tuesday!

Classes this week have been rescheduled for Thursday, November 19 in our regular dojo at the regular times. It was determined that the United Church simply would not have enough space to accommodate our full classes.

The classes this week will focus on tournament “etiquette” and procedures. Like many things in the martial arts, tradition and respect play a large role in the tournaments. Each student will have an opportunity to work on their kata and kumite in a tournament ring type setting.

It is important that members planning to attend the tournament make every effort to attend their class on Thursday. A secondary benefit to class being on Thursday, is that everything should be nice and fresh in everyone’s mind for the tournament on Saturday.

Hopefully everyone can make it to the rescheduled classes.

See you at the dojo!

Just a reminder that regular classes are being held tonight at the REGULAR TIMES IN THE REGULAR PLACE!!
