Summer Uniform Time!

Starting May 1st, full uniforms will no longer be required in our classes. Students will be allowed to wear a Dunamis Karate, Hyper Pro Training or UFAF/CNS tee in place of their traditional gi tops.  Shorts can also be worn IF they have the Dunamis logo.   NOTE: All shorts must be longer than the finger tips! You can purchase a tee/shorts from our inventory or bring us a blank t-shirt/shorts and have our logo added for only $5. This is as economical as it gets!

STRIPE TESTING May 1st - 2nd

Stripe Testing Monday & Tuesday, May 1-2.   If a student misses or fails a stripe test, you must purchase a private lesson in order to sharpen the lacking skills and make up the test.  You can purchase a private lesson with any instructor.  As long as it is done prior to belt testing on June 5-6, the student should be allowed to test as usual.

Action Hero Photography Friday, May 12th to HAMPTON Saturday, May 13th to RIDGELAND

Action Hero has become an annual event for Dunamis Karate Students and we look forward to seeing their amazing photos every year!  We want all of our students to reserve a time slot to have their photo taken so that they can be on the school poster. It is absolutely free to be on the poster.  If you choose to buy photos, they have packages starting for a low as $27.  Register in the Dunamis Karate App for your time slot.  Remember EACH student needs their OWN Time Slot … so a family of 3 would need 3 time slots!

Super Smash Party - Mario Themed PNO

Friday, May 19th  6:00 - 9:00 PM In the Mushroom Kingdom there’s a group of super friends. Some with crazy powers, that in the wrong hands can spell doom. But there is hope, the Super Star Power! So let’s gear up for party time. Jump on those Toads, ride your Dino, and Beat the King Dragon in a night of party games no child will forget.  Let our cast of voice actors take your kids to a land where they are the characters in this month’s parents night out. Use that time for something important like, taking a long bath or going out to dinner. Either way you’ll know they’re having a great time with great friends and even greater instructors. Yeah I know that’s not a word but our team is pretty cool. This is a night of gamification and entertainment. So MOM/DAD enjoy a night where the kids get to use their imagination, get a little exercise while having fun and give yourself a break. Spots are Limited - Reserve your spot now in the Dunamis Karate App!
