Due to the Provincial covid-19 action plan for schools, we have no choice but to cancel classes until such time the schools reopen and groups are allowed to resume their use of school facilities.
We encourage everyone to practice their kata and techniques at home to stay in shape, and hope to be able to return to regular classes soon.
Please share this with all members of our club so that everyone receives the message. We will be emailing all members as well.
With the growing concerns over the covid-19 outbreak we are implementing a few changes to our classes.
Firstly, classes are still ON.
Here are some of the things YOU can do:
We appreciate that we in this area of Saskatchewan are at very low risk for the spread of covid-19, however, when the nature of our sport puts us in such close quarters with each other, it only makes sense that we take these precautions.
Thank you for your understanding.
See you at the dojo!
For anyone who was planning to go to Melita tomorrow, the “Dojo Visit” has been postponed until further notice.
The Saskatoon/Warman (Living Skies) tournament that was scheduled to take place on March 20 and 21, 2020 has been cancelled due to concerns regarding the covid-19 virus.
We received the announcement late last night.
The organizers wish to express their sadness and regret at having to cancel their event and hope that all those who were planning to attend will do so when the tournament is rescheduled.
Our classes in Carlyle will continue as scheduled.

Good luck to all of our members travelling to Hamiota this weekend for their annual tournament! We know you’ll do great.
Also a reminder that Session 3 begins on Tuesday. Please be sure to take care of your fees as soon as possible.

Anyone wishing to join the SHPKA (Saskatchewan High Performance Karate Association) must bring their fees to class on Tuesday evening. We will also need some registration information at that time. The registration fee is $25.
The SHPKA is our Provincial Sport Organization (PSO) for karate. The SHPKA is an excellent organization dedicated to the development of sport karate in Saskatchewan. It is through this organization that members receive access to high level, nationally certified trainers, provincial and inter-provincial events, and the possibility to be selected to the Saskatchewan Provincial Karate Team to participate in Karate Canada Nationals.
Membership in the organization does not mean you are required to participate in any of these events, but also serves as a “professional membership” in a nationally recognized sport organization. Membership in these organizations also helps pave a way to achieve various certifications within the SWKKF, the WTKA, and Karate Canada.
We urge you to consider membership, and speak to Sensei Kevin or Sensei Jayson on Tuesday if you have any questions.
Regular classes resume on Tuesday. This is the last class of Session 2. We begin Session 3 on Tuesday, March 3, 2020. Please be sure to start paying your fees so you are up to date. Remember, you cannot be graded if you have outstanding fees.
See you at the dojo!
Just a reminder that there are no karate classes this week.
Regular classes will resume next week, February 25, 2020.

The Hamiota/Manitoba Provincial tournament and clinic is coming up soon. You will find a link to the information sheet below.
We will have a sign up sheet at class tonight for anyone wishing to attend the Hamiota tournament and the club will pay for everyone’s registration fees (provided you helped with one of the fund raisers).
Just a reminder that the dates of the Living Skies Tournament in Warman have been changed to March 20 and 21, 2020. More information to come on that tournament soon.
And one last reminder that there will NOT be classes next week during the family week break. Regular classes will resume after the break on February 25.
