It's Time ... To start thinking about the Summer!

DUNAMIS KARATE Update

It's Time ...


In This Issue
Belt Testing Requirements
Advance A Belt Camp - August 8 & 10
Summer Schedule - Starts June 7th
Summer Camps - Space is Limited

It's time to start thinking about and planning the summer.  Many of you already have family vacations on your calendar and know when you will be away from karate, but even if you are away, your karate tuition is still due as usual.  

But we don't want your payment to go to waste, therefore, we will be giving private lesson vouchers based on your absences during the summer months of June-August.  Each voucher is valued at $20 - $40 dollars and you will have one year to book your private lessons. 

One on one training is an invaluable tool and a super way to sharpen skills or learn techniques not taught in regular classes.  If you would like more information about purchasing private lessons now or want more information about the private lesson vouchers for summer absences, please don't hesitate to contact me!

Sincerely,
