Hi everyone,
And just like that, we're in December!
Please read below for some important reminders and announcements for the weeks leading up to Christmas Holidays.
1) Parent and Tot Karate - We’re excited to invite you to a special Parents & Cubs Karate Class — a fun, interactive training session designed for our Lion Cubs (ages 5–6) and their grown-ups!
This class is all about teamwork, bonding, and building confidence as you and your child practice basic karate skills side-by-side. Expect partner drills, coordination games, and plenty of smiles — no experience needed for parents! :)
Date - Wednesday December 10th (No need to register beforehand, and limited to just 1 parent/guardian per child).
2) Leadership Workshop #1 - Our first Leadership Workshop is right around the corner! We’re excited to help our students build stronger confidence, communication skills, and positive leadership habits — on and off the mat. This will also be an excellent opportunity to brush up on core karate skills.
Spaces are limited for this event, so please reach out directly to register! Cost is $15/student, and a final reminder will be emailed out to all registered in the next couple of days.
Date - Saturday December 6th
3) Christmas Holidays - This is a friendly reminder that the dojo will be closed for Christmas holidays from Monday December 22nd through Sunday January 4th.
(Classes resume on Monday, January 5th!)
We wish all of our students and families a joyful, restful holiday filled with laughter, connection, and good energy. Thank you for an amazing year of hard work and spirit! We can’t wait to kick off the new year strong together!
4) Competition Team Dinner - We’re excited to invite all students ages 12+ who are currently competing for a spot on the BC Team to a special Competition Team Dinner & Party!
This is a chance to celebrate your hard work, dedication, and achievements this season — both on and off the mats. Join us for an evening of great food, games, fun, team bonding, and plenty of well-earned celebration!
What to expect:
• Team dinner
• Games & activities
• Recognition & celebration
• Lots of laughs and good memories
We’d love to see the whole team together as we enjoy a night dedicated to your commitment, growth, and team spirit.
Date - Thursday December 11th 7:20-9:20
5) Unlimited classes December - December is always a very busy month with school concerts, performances, parties, etc. So we're excited to announce a special opportunity for the month of December — all students are invited to attend unlimited classes at no extra cost!
This is the perfect chance to get in some extra training, sharpen your skills, try new classes, and finish the year feeling strong and confident. Whether you want to level up your techniques, boost your fitness, or simply spend more time on the mats, December is your month to go for it!
Please note, students must only attend age/skill appropriate classes (ie. a 6 year old yellow belt, should not attend our senior team competition class!) Please reach out if unsure about which classes your child should attend.
Thank you very much, and have a great week!
Sensei Matt
