Attention Leadership Team Members
The Leadership Team’s responsibilities are optional during the summer months. If you are interested in continuing to help out with classes you may wear your blue gi and participate in any class below your belt level. Your help is needed and greatly appreciated for our car wash held on July 10th and Super Soaker Saturday on August 7th. Please let Sensei or Sempai Sue know as soon as possible whether you are able to volunteer your time.
Summer Karate Camp
Summer Camp is approaching fast and there are still a few spots available. Last day to register at a discounted price and receive a free camp T-shirt is June 30th. If you are registered for camp and would like to purchase an Eku please speak with Sensei as soon as possible. A camp itinerary is available from Sempai Sue.
Tournament Team Practices
We will be holding some extra practices over the summer for members of the Tournament Team that are competing in Hawaii in November. Please watch the boards for details.
Label your stuff!
More and more items like sparring gear, mouth guards and weapons are being left behind at the Dojo. If these items are not labeled we have no way of knowing who they belong to. Please label all of your karate gear and take a moment before leaving to check to see that you have left nothing behind. Did you know Sensei will engrave your initials on your nunchaku, bo or eku for just $2.00 which Sensei donates to our tournament team.
Karate in the Park
July 14th & 15th and August 11th & 12th we will be holding all karate classes at Sawicki Millennium Park on Middleton Way, just up from the Dojo. Please head straight to the park unless it is raining. Students are required to wear their gi’s and running shoes.
