… to everyone who attended the grading this week!
Everyone did really well and worked very hard. Congratulations to everyone who received a new belt or stripes as well! Good job!
There is class on Tuesday. It will be the last class before the holidays. We will resume regular classes once school is back in session.
Remember that we are now in Session 2 and fees are due! Please stay up-to-date with your fees. That is how we keep the club running!
See you at the dojo!
The grading will proceed as scheduled tonight.
See you at the dojo!
The grading will take place this Tuesday, December13, 2016 at the regular dojo.
Just for Kicks students should be ready to begin at 6:30 pm.
The Jr/Adult class will begin their grading immediately following the Just for Kicks. Be ready to begin your grading at 7:30 pm. We will likely begin just a little later.
Be prepared and on time. Tuesday evening at 6:25 pm is not the time to be asking the Senseis how to do your kata. They will be busy preparing their grading material, so will be preoccupied already. Once the grading begins, no one will be permitted to leave the floor except when told to do so by the Sensei between sections of the grading.
Be sure to listen carefully to the instructions you are given during the grading. There is a time and a place for “hard and fast”. Always show focus, and spirit, but don’t wear yourself out in the first 30 minutes of the grading.
Good luck!
See you at the dojo!
Classes are still on this evening for anyone wishing to come in for one last class before the grading next week.
Remember… classes tonight are being held from 5:00 to 7:00 pm at the high school. Please use the rear doors by the gym.
See you at the dojo!
Just a reminder that there is a change in class times and location this week.

5:00 to 5:45 pm will focus on, but not be limited to, the Just for Kicks students who attend.
5:45 to 7:00 pm will focus on the Jr/Adult age group.

Thanks, again, to all those helping out; especially at the last minute when the organizers needed help with the pancake breakfast!
Here are some pics from the pancake breakfast. Pics of the perogie cart to come.
Congratulations to everybody who participated and/or helped out with the tournament!
We had a great turnout; especially from our Just for Kicks groups. It was awesome to see so many young karateka enjoying themselves.
An extra thank you to those clubs from out of town who visited us this weekend. We hope to have some of our students participate in your events as well!
