Dunamis Online Point Challenge

Dunamis Karate

Online Point Challenge

I know that with all of the craziness going on right now, it might be tough to give your kids a sense of normalcy. At Dunamis Karate, we want to help keep all of our students active and motivated to continue growing and becoming the best versions of themselves.

How do we plan on doing this?

Our team has put their heads together to come up with the ultimate point driven challenge that will help keep your child motivated and inspired when practicing at home. We call it the... 🥁🥁🥁

Dunamis Online Point Challenge!

How does it work?

For the next few weeks, our team will be live streaming classes and hosting online virtual training for all of our students. When your child participates in our online training classes, they will earn points each time. We will also provide other weekly challenges including a weekly Instructor Challenge along with other curriculum-based challenges.

The online training and challenges that we have set-up will not only earn your child points, but they will also help them to keep progressing towards their next belt at the same time. Awesome right?

What are the points for?

On Monday morning each week, we will go LIVE on Facebook for our Point Challenge Awards Show.  Every point that your child earns during the week will count towards one entry in our drawing where we will be giving away prizes like Dunamis Karate apparel, private lessons, gift cards, and more!

This challenge will begin TODAY with our first live-streaming class taking place tonight and the virtual training videos are live now in the Dunamis Karate app!

I hope that all of you are just as excited as our team for this amazing challenge.
