Forms and payment must be submitted this week in order to receive the jackets before classes end for the season.

The Manitoba Provincial Wado Kai Karate Tournament is being held in Carlyle in just under 2 weeks!

Many karateka from Manitoba participate in our tournament, so it would be really great to have many of our members participate in theirs… especially since it is being held here at our high school. Come out and participate in a Provincial tournament while supporting our Manitoba clubs in the process!

We will also be needing volunteers to help out with a canteen and possibly with the scoring/timing tables. If you are able to help out with either of these, our Manitoba friends would really appreciate it.

There may be a canteen sign up sheet at class on Tuesday.

See you at the dojo!

There will be regular karate class this week even though there are Student Led Conferences being held at the elementary school that day.

Carlyle will be hosting the Manitoba Provincial Wado Kai Karate Tournament!

The tournament is being held here due to Manitoba’s “prize fight” laws which make it difficult to hold such events in that province.

The tournament will be held on Saturday, April 30, 2016 at the G.F. Kells High School gym. Sensei Jeff would also like to lead a clinic/workshop on the Friday evening, April 29 for those interested. We will have a sign-up sheet for the Friday night clinic at Tuesday’s class.

This is a great opportunity for our members to participate in another Provincial competition. Let’s see everyone out there supporting this event!

More information will follow soon.

Below is a link to an online order form for the new Jackets.

You can use this link to order jackets, or pick up a paper order form at the next karate class on Tuesday. Sample jackets will be available next week at class, or you can go to King’s Department Store in Carlyle and ask about trying on a jacket there.

The jackets are wind and water proof and have a very nice lining. They are an excellent jacket.

Good job to everyone who participated in the Melita workshop on the weekend. Those who attended had an excellent self-defence workshop in the morning and an excellent workshop in the afternoon. Thanks to Sensei Alby and his club for hosting this awesome event.

DUFFLE BAGS/BACKPACKS ARE IN!! YAY!!!! We’ll be handing the bags out at class this week.

We are hot into “Tournament Season” now. The next two events are nearby and are great events. Members from these clubs also participate in our tournament, so it would be great to return the favour and attend theirs.

Friday and Saturday, April 8 and 9, 2016 – Saskatoon/Warman Tournament – “Living Skies Annual Wado Kai Karate Clinic and Tournament” – This event is held in Warman at the Legends Centre. Sensei Denis (8th Dan; Shintani Federation President) and Sensei Sanford Dewitt (5th Dan; National Team Kata Coach) will be presenting the clinic on the Friday night. The tournament portion will take place on Saturday.

Saturday, April 30, 2016 – Manitoba Provincial Wado Kai Karate Tournament – Boissevain, MB – With the Manitoba provincial being so close this year, it would be great if we could send many members to this event. This is Sensei Jeff Gervin’s club.

All of the Shintani events rely heavily on participation from not only their local members, but on visiting members from nearby clubs as well. Support our karate family, improve your skills, and meet new people! Attend on of the many clinics and tournaments sponsored by the Shintani Wado Kai Karate Federation.

Information can be found on these and other events on our “Events Page” and the Shintani Federation web site Events Page as well.

Congratulations to all of our members who participated in the Calgary tournament this weekend! Everyone said they had a great time, and the tournament organizers were happy to have so many members of our club in attendance.

Here are a few pics we received from those who attended the event. We will share more images as we receive them.

Regular classes this week. Duffle bags will be arriving soon!

Also a reminder that the Melita Tournament Workshop is this Saturday. There is a Self-Defense clinic in the morning and the tournament workshop in the afternoon.

If any of you are planning to attend the Melita event, and would like to stay there for lunch, please inform Sensei Jayson in class this week. The organizers would like to know numbers in order to have enough food for everyone.
