Follow the steps below 👇 … 1. CLICK HERE to register your child and their friends for our out-of-this-world event! 2. Figure out how you're going to spend your 3 hours on a Friday night.

Purple Belts & Up  Goodwill Tournament February 29, 2020 Each year we look forward to participating in the Goodwill Tournament held at the Beaufort High School gymnasium.  It is a friendly, safe, fun tournament that is run by Mr. Chuck Elias from Club Karate, who is Mrs. Woods' instructor. The tournament is great for students of ALL ages and ranks - even the little Tiny Tigers!  It's great because the divisions will be broken into smaller groups so each person has a greater chance of placing. All students who participate will receive a plaque or trophy and ribbons are awarded for the top 3 or 4 places in each division. We will start having some "tournament prep classes" this month to help students be prepared to compete! The school who brings the most students will win a HUGE trophy and this year WE WANT TO WIN, so please join us in Beaufort on Feb. 29th! More info coming soon!  Tournament Prep Bo Class Friday, January 24th 6:00 - 7:30   $10  Get ready for weapons competition at the Goodwill Tournament in February with this special Bo Class.  We will teach a beginner form, for those who have never used a bo staff, and we will review with our Black Belt Club and Masters Club members the forms that they learned back in August. (Students should have their own bo staff for attending this class!) This class will be held at both locations. Click HERE to register or use the "EVENTS" tab on the app!! Tournament Prep Forms & Weapons Practice Friday, January 31st 5:00 - 6:00 PM   $5 Get ready for competition at the Goodwill Tournament in February with this special practice class.  Students will have time to work on their forms and weapons for competition and receive valuable feedback from our instructors. Click HERE to register or use the EVENTS tab on the app. This is not a class where we will TEACH a form or weapon.  It is simply a time to practice and get extra help from our instructor team.

Activities that can’t do anywhere else! Whether it’s turning each other into zombies, doing scavenger hunts, bowling for zombies, or barricading themselves in bunkers, your child is going to get a Halloween experience unlike any other! Space is Limited so Register Now! RIDGELAND - HAMPTON Summer is officially over and so are the "summer uniforms."  Starting November 1, all students will need to be in FULL UNIFORM for classes.
