Hi Guys
 
A few months have past so I guess it is time for a winter newsletter to cover what is happening in the coming months.
 
Winter Camp
This has been postponed until next year because this season has been very busy for lots of our students.
 
Tracksuits
Ochiba Karate Tracksuits ($95.00 each) are now available at Dynamic Sport.  They look great and will keep us dry during our winter runs.  Dogi bags are also available ($20.00 each).
 
Tournaments
We will be starting ‘point’ tournaments this year.  This is a non contact style of karate so will suit everyone.  We will observe a tournament before we compete so everyone can see what is involved and expected.  If you are competing the Ochiba Karate tracksuits must be worn to show our team unity.
 
Housekeeping
All students MUST wear running shoes to the Dojo.  But remember to take your shoes off inside.
Reason 1:  To avoid stones on the mats
Reason 2:  Running, skipping, etc.  We have not been able to do these activities with our juniors because running shoes are forgotten.  Running shoes are part of the uniform and should be brought to every training.
