News
Good to be back at it!
It was nice to see everyone back after an extended winter break! The Melitta Teaching Tournament is taking place as we write this and things are running smoothly.
The South Calgary Wado Kai Karate Tournament is coming up on March 8 and 9, 2013. Below is a link for the informational package and the registration form. This is one of the largest Wado tournaments in Western Canada and the members of our club who have attended have all really enjoyed the event.
South Calgary 2013 Registration
Also, we would like our members to consider attending the Saskatoon/Warman Tournament which is being held on April 5 and 6. This is the last weekend of the Easter break so our younger members wishing to attend the workshop AND the tournament wouldn’t have to worry about missing school.
If there are enough members interested in attending this tournament, there is a chance we could arrange transportation for all of us and one of the senseis could look into accomodation arrangements. There will be a SIGN UP sheet at the next workout. More information about the tournament will follow soon. The Saskatoon/Warman Clubs have been strong supporters of our tournament for a number of years and it would be great to see our club return the favor. It is a fairly large tournament in a very nice facility and it gives us a chance to visit beautiful Saskatoon.
And lastly… remember to keep practicing for the upcoming GRADING. Your grading forms are due, along with any outstanding fees, at the workout on Tuesday, January 22.
See you at the dojo.
PLEASE STAY HOME!!
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 OFFICIALLY CANCELLED TONIGHT
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.
Class Tonight
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.
Be careful on the roads!!
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.
Last Class before Christmas break
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.
