We have everyone enjoyed their holiday break! I know my family did! But now that the new year is here, it’s time for us to get back on the mat and get back on track to reach our goals!

We are excited to see everyone back in class this week and we can’t wait to welcome all the new students who will be joining us this week. We thank each of you, in advance, for making the new students and parents feel welcome, answering any questions, getting them connected with our social pages and the Dunamis Karate app. Your interaction with the new parents is invaluable!

We have some new changes in store this year, but it’s too much to explain in text, so click below to watch the video explaining things!

BRING A BUDDY WEEK
January 10-13

We invite our students to bring a friend to class with them
during the week of January 10th - January 13th.
Some of our best members came to us because a buddy invited them.
One of your friends may be the next one!
And remember, if your friend enrolls in one of our programs, you get to spin the PRIZE WHEEL!

SWAT Team Training
Friday, 1/14 6:00 - 7:30pm

Come learn about being a Leader … On and Off the Mat
Learn about being a good finder, a power mover and about using the coaches alphabet.

This training is open to students ages 7 and up who are at least a Purple Belt. The cost of this training is only $10.
Register through the Events Tab on the Dunamis Karate App.

STORM Team Training
Saturday, January 15th 11:00 - 12:30

STORM Team training is by invitation only for students ages
12 and up who are at least a Blue Belt.

When looking for potential STORM Team members, we look for students who have completed the SWAT Team training, are serious about leading classes and could potentially become instructors.

Students in this class will learn about the Five-Step Teaching Platform, the Learning Circle, Character Development, Class Formations, One Word Commands, Pulling Out Black Belt Qualities, 8 Teaching Strategies, 7 Steps to Teaching a Drill, and MORE!

Blast to the Future Parents Night Out
Friday, January 21 6:00 - 9:00 PM

Great Scott! We have to save the space-time continuum!

If my calculations are correct, your last night without the kids hasn’t happened in almost 30 days! If you don’t get a night away soon, the consequences could be CATASTROPHIC!

Not to worry! I have invented the perfect solution! The Blast to the Future Parents Night Out!

Bring your little time traveler to a night of fun and games with their friends. They will battle on pirate ships, play future bowling, have an old west duel, rebuild the pyramids, and more!

I have been to the future and seen that this Parents Night Out will Sell Out. Don’t wait, the entire timeline depends on your kids!

Saturday, January 22
10:00 AM

Remember sparring is part of your belt requirements.
Purple Belts and up are required to spar at least
once every 2 months (on average) in order to belt test.
$5.00 - Pay through the app or bring cash

Students must have their own sparring gear.

If you need to purchase gear, the instructions are in the “INTERMEDIATE CURRICULUM” section of the app.
