Weekly Update from Dunamis Karate

First, let me say thank you to the students who participated in the Hyper Perseverance Camp.  You guys showed true perseverance by working hard through the entire 8.5 hour camp and I hope you are as proud of yourself as I am of you!     I have uploaded pictures and videos from the Perseverance camp on our Facebook and Youtube page.  Check them out and leave some words of encouragement for those who participated!

Belt Graduation This Friday at 5:30pm we will have our belt graduation ceremony.  Each class will work this week on a special performance for the family and friends who come to show their support at the graduation.  After the short performance, the students will receive their new ranks. After all the belt presentations, everyone is invited to stay and watch the movie "Despicable Me."  Bring blankets/pillows for lounging on the mat while we watch the movie.  You are also welcome to bring your own snacks and resealable drinks (must have a top that closes). Goodwill Karate Tournament  The Goodwill Karate Tournament is quickly approaching.  The pre-registration cut off is Feb. 28th.  If you have not mailed in your $40 cashier's check or money order along with the registration form , you need to do so quickly!  Remember, our school will be part of the opening demonstrations and any student who is attending the tournament is invited to join us in the show.  We will be doing the same show at the tournament that we do for the graduation. Tournament Prep Class We will have a special tournament prep class on Friday, March 4th at 5:30pm.  This class will give students the last minute confidence they need to be prepared for the tournament.  We will cover the check in process, the line up, ring assignments, and give each student a chance to perform their forms/weapons in front of the "practice judges" giving them extra tips to improve their performance. Cost for this class is only $5.00.     EZ Defense for Women In today's world, you never know when you will need self-defense skills to protect yourself or even your child.   EZ Defense for Women is a safe, simple and effective method of self-protection that really works.  This unique seminar focuses on actions we can all take to prevent conflicts and altercations from happening in the first place rather than just teaching you physical defense solutions.   Some of the topics covered during the seminar will include: Basic Awareness and Prevention Skills How to Access Danger and Make Decisions Stopping Threats Using Clear Verbal Communication   Our past program participants say that the program has helped give them the boost they needed to attain goals, be more assertive at work and to stand up for themselves if needed.  You'll be surprised at how confident and secure you'll feel after attending just one seminar.  Best of all, no previous experience is necessary.   Call now to reserve your spot in our upcoming seminar on Saturday, March 12th at 10:00am.
