9/7 is your last chance to pre-order your “family tree” t-shirt. Remember this tee will be the “uniform” for our upcoming festival performances! Choose any of the available colors!

September 7-8, 2022

It’s one of the most exciting things we do at Dunamis Karate. All ages and ranks will be evaluated to move up in rank. We invite parents & family to come watch and support our students as they demonstrate the skills they have learned over the past 12 weeks.

Black Belt Test Prep  Saturday, 9/10 & 9/24 at 10:00 AM

We have about a dozen students preparing for their black belt test. This practice will sharpen their skills, increase their stamina and boost their confidence preparing them for test day!

Black Light Blaster Night Parents Night Out Friday, 9/16 6:00-9:00 PM

For the first time ever, Dunamis Karate is hosting a black light, Nerf party and it is going to be EPIC! Darts will glow, your kids will glow, and even the court will glow.  Get a night to yourself and bring your kids to the ultimate black light nerf party! They won’t get to experience this anywhere else, plus you deserve a night off. Register your kids for this cool experience NOW! We will provide the bullets & safety goggles. Each student only needs to bring their own Nerf gun and make sure you have the child's name on it!! Haven’t been to a Parents night out before? Parents constantly rave about how much fun their kids have at our parents nights out with their friends. And the best part? The kids have fun, get rid of energy, and will be talking about it for days!. Remember, space is limited, so register today!

Hyper Fight Club Sparring Class Saturday, 9/17 10:00 AM

Once students earn PURPLE BELT, sparring becomes a required part of their curriculum. We hold Hyper Fight Club classes approximately once a month on a Saturday morning. Purple Belt and up students are required to attend at least one HFC class per test cycle… so one every 12 weeks. If you are a new Purple Belt, talk to Mrs. Woods about ordering your sparing gear ASAP, so you don’t miss out on your next belt test!

Yemassee Shrimp Festival Demo Saturday, 9/17 12pm

For the 2nd year, our school has been asked to perform for the Yemassee Shrimp Festival. We will continue working demo parts with music during class to prepare students for this performance.  We will perform at 12:00 PM. The performance will be held at the Yemassee Fire Station. (101 Town Circle, Yemassee, SC 29945)   All students will need to be in their traditional or club gi pants, belt, “family tree” t-shirt and sneakers!   Please arrive at least 15 minutes early!

Buddy Week  September 19-22

Our students work hard … but they like to have FUN too. What could be more fun then doing karate WITH YOUR FRIEDS?!  We invite all students to bring a buddy to class the week of September 19-22. We will have a class full of karate challenges and our students will get to help teach their friends some real karate techniques!  We have set up a “Buddy Week” event in the app and we ask that all guests be registered prior to attending class so that we have a signed waiver on hand. (Students do NOT need to register - only register your guests.)  Please share this link with the parents of the buddy you plan to bring.  https://www.dunamiskarate.org/event/?event_id=388370/&from=h

Gopher Hill Festival Performance Saturday, October 8th 1:00 PM

We have performed for every Gopher Hill Festival since 2003, and this year we will be taking it up another level. The theme of the festival is “A Walk Down Memory Lane” and everything from our performance t-shirt (family tree tee) to the music we’ve chosen is matching that them. We look forward to WOWing the crowd as we do every year.  Remember we want ALL our students to participate, even our Krav Maga students. The uniform for this performance will be the “family tree” t-shirt, traditional (or club) karate pants, belt and SNEAKERS!  We will meet at Dunamis Karate around 11:30ish (after the parade) to practice, then we will walk from Dunamis Karate over to Main St. where we will perform in front of the stage!

CLOSED Oct. 6-7 Due to the Festival Activities, we will not hold any classes on Thurs/Friday. We encourage everyone to support the Gopher Hill Festival activities.
