Guests in the dojo

Great workout last night everyone!

It was great to have some visiting sempais from the Weyburn club. Just FYI, as a paid member of the Shintani Wado-Kai Karate Federation, we are all welcome to attend workouts at any other Shintani dojo. It is nice just to touch base with the Sensei before doing so if possible.

See you next week.

Welcome Back!

… to everyone who made it to the first workout! What a great way to start the karate year.

New Season Coming Soon!

There’s only a few weeks to go before the official start of the 2012-13 karate season! Hopefully everyone has been keeping up their techniques and kata! It only takes a few minutes to run all of the kata from slowly, move-by-move to tournament speed. Remember to start by concentrating on position and form and gradually moving up to your full speed with spirit and power.

See you in September!
