ATTENTION BLACK BELT TEST PARTICIPANTS:
For the Black Belt Test it is mandatory that there be a Meibukan crest on your uniform. If your crest is currently on an old uniform please transfer the crest to your new uniform. New crests can be ordered through Sempai Lisa if you have lost yours.
IT’S T-SHIRT TIME!
During the months of July and August kids will be allowed to beat the heat by wearing either a plain white t-shirt or a Dojo t-shirt instead of their uniform jacket! But don’t forget! Even though you aren’t wearing your gi top you still need to look sharp, therefore t-shirts need to be tucked into your pants. Belts will still be worn of course, just over your t-shirt instead.
HST
As of September 1st, 2010 HST will be applied to memberships at the Dojo.
ATTENTION!
Please note that the Dojo will be closed on Thursday, July 29th as well as Sunday August 1st and Monday August 2nd as Sensei and Sempai Lisa will be away at the annual Vernon Summer Training Camp!

Happy Birthday!
Dear Parents.
Does your child’s uniform ride up and pop out over top of their belt when they move around? Is their uniform starting to resemble shorts and a t-shirt? It is time for a new uniform.
An ill fitting uniform not only looks bad (and can be embarrassing!), but also inhibits movement. The uniform jacket should be at least mid thigh in length with the sleeves and pants hemmed properly to prevent tripping and the constant need for instructors to fold up their pant legs and sleeves during class time.
