Hi everyone,
We hope the back to school season is treating you all well!
Please read below for some dojo reminders:
1) Labour Day – The dojo will be closed Monday, September 6th for Labour Day.
2) New mats – We’ve decked out the dojo with a brand new set of mats! They are thicker than our last mats and look great.
3) No shoes during training – With regard to our shiny new mats, no shoes will be permitted while training.
4) Masks – Masks are to be worn at all times when inside the church building.
5) Belt/stripe testing – Wednesday, September 29th (Monday/Wednesday programs) and Thursday, September 30th (Tuesday/Thursday programs) will be our first belt/stripe testing off the school year. Be sure to put in extra effort at home to ensure a successful testing!
6) Sickness – As we get back into the school year and winter colds begin circulating, please remember to stay home if showing any symptoms of illness. We were fortunate last year to have zero covid-19 exposures at the dojo, and this is largely due to both parents and students doing their part and staying home when showing any signs of illness. Thank you! Let’s keep it up.
7) Covid-19 safety protocols – Please follow the links below to see our covid-19 safety protocols.
8) Tshirts/hoodies – For those who placed an order during the summer time, your order has arrived and will be available for pick up next week.
9) There will be no classes held Thursday, September 9th. Please contact me directly to schedule a make-up class.
10) Private and semi-private Saturday sessions – We’ll be starting these training sessions up again mid-September. If you are someone who regularly participates in these, please stay tuned for more information.
11) Karate uniform – We’re back to wearing full uniform (gi pants, gi top, and belt) starting next week.
Take care and train hard!
