The dojo is locked and dark. Please stay home tonight. The roads are just too dangerous!
Two senseis waited at the dojo for an hour and only 4 karateka showed up. Please do not go to the dojo tonight. If you can, please tell any other members to stay home.
We’ll see you next week.
Class tonight has been cancelled.
If you are already there or on your way, there will be some Senseis there to have a workout with those who show up.
The grading date will definitely be rescheduled. Check here for more information in the days to come and we’ll let you know at class.
Stay safe.
Holy Sudden Windstorm, Batman!!
Wow! The wind sure picked up this evening.
Yes, there IS class tonight. At least one of the Senseis will be there if anyone wants to come out.
PLEASE BE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS!!!!!!!! They are like glass covered with ice covered with blowing snow.
If you choose not to come tonight, that is fine. It will not affect your status for the grading that is coming up. We will also be revisiting the grading date and may move it back due to the poor weather this week. We’ll keep you informed.
Also, another reminder about the tournament coming up in Melitta, MB on January 19. More info to follow.
Class IS on for tonight.
Please be very careful on the highways tonight! There is some light rain/sleet falling and things are starting to get quite slippery.
Be alert!
See you at the dojo.
Tomorrow night will be our last workout before the Christmas break. Be sure to come and get a good tune up before taking 2 weeks off!!
Also, just a reminder that we are now into Session 2 of our karate season. If you haven’t yet paid your fees, please do so. Any amounts owing will be noted on your sign in card.
A grading has been scheduled for January 15. Keep working over the break. We have only 1 class after the holiday to do final preparations for the grading. We return to karate on January 8, 2013!
Please consider participating in the “Teaching Tournament” hosted in Melitta, MB on January 19, 2013. It is an excellent, small tournament that is perfect for our younger karateka to get some tournament experience. It is also good for our higher ranking belts to develop some ring experience.
See you at the dojo.
Here’s a downloadable image to use as your phone screen to show your karate awesomeness!!
You should be able to crop and save the image in your phone’s “Settings” menu. It should work with most phones.
Here’s a screen shot of Sensei Kevin’s iPhone
The parking lot at the dojo is extremely slippery.
Please be very careful as you drive in/out and walk on the ice.
See you tonight!
Good job in class this week, everyone.
Remember, all karateka (students) age 14 and up are welcome to stay and participate in the “Late Session” after the regular class ends. In this session, we work many different aspects of karate from kata to kumite t0 ground work and more in depth self-defense.
If anyone is interested in taking part in the Thursday night workouts please talk to Sempais Savanna or Quinn. They have the details on which Thursdays we will be working out and can give you times and directions if you need.
See you at the dojo.
On being awarded the Clinton McFarlane Memorial Trophy. You are well-deserving of the recognition.
Excellent work in class tonight, everyone! Be sure to “walk through” these self-defense techniques often on your own. Like many things, if you don’t keep at it, you eventually lose it.
Next week is the last week of Session 1. Please consider submitting membership fees for Session 2.
PHOTOGRAPHS from the Provincial Karate Tournament have been posted online. You may view them here.
Well done and congratulations, everyone, on another successful Provincial Karate Tournament!
It was great to see so many of our students participating in the weekend’s events from the workout on Friday night through the tournament and banquet on Saturday. Hopefully everyone met a new “karate friend” from another club and can look forward to seeing that friend at future tournaments. It is these connections and friendships built between clubs and provinces that strengthen and support our national Federation and keep us growing into the future.
For our visiting clubs… Thank you for coming so far to take part in our tournament! It is always a treat to have you visit us and we hope to return the visit to your clubs.
We’re back to regular classes in our home dojo this week. We look forward to hearing your stories from the tournament. Sensei Jayson has a good one.
See you at the dojo.
