Board Break Buddy Week APRIL 3-6

Breaking a board can be SCARY … But it can also be Very Empowering! We will teach the students will learn how to strike with power and FOCUS as we practice on a variety of targets. Then we will have them practice on a variety of plastic re-breakable boards. Finally, the students and their buddy will get to break a REAL board … and they will get to keep it as a souvenir.  Come see for yourself what benefits you and your family can gain by training with us at Dunamis Karate. There is no cost and no obligation to attending this free buddy week class, so you can experience our program without any pressure. All Buddies must be PRE-REGISTERED!  Send them to www.DunamisKarate.org and have them click the Buddy Week link to sign up!

Our Blaster Wars Parents Night Out is going to be a night to remember. Your child will be playing games, having Nerf battles, and hanging out with their favorite instructors. And the best part?
