More Great Things For Our Dunamis Karate Family

I hope that by now you have come to realize that Dunamis Karate is trying to do more than just teach kicking and punching.  We want to build strong students and strong families ... Spirit, Soul & Body.   This is accomplished through more than just karate classes ...

If you'd like more information about either of the events, just contact me or my husband, Jim, at 226-0357. Sincerely, Lindy Woods DUNAMIS KARATE (843) 226-0889

Prizes for top competitors! Sept. 1 Ticket Contest Winners will be Drawn Vegas Baby! Our trip to Las Vegas for the Chun Kuk Do International Training Conference and World Championship was a HUGE success. It's always like a giant family reunion at the ITC.  We love to go and see our CKD friends from across the US and countries like Mexico, Norway, Uzbekistan and more.  For most of us, it's the one time a year we get together! Mrs. Woods attended business classes to ensure our karate school is run in a professional manner worthy to call itself a CKD school. Mrs. Woods, Mr. Alex & Miss Andi attended instructor classes to make certain we are doing the best job possible when it comes to teaching students on the mat. The seminar on traditional kata, taught by Mrs. Woods was a huge hit. The class was filled with about 35 kids ages 6-13 ranking between white and green belt. Mrs. Woods covered details that make kata beautiful then various ways to practice kata to make them fun! And the seminars we participated in taught us a variety of topics from gun & knife defense to sport sparring ... from street self defense to beginner MMA skills. It was an educational experience for us all! During the tournament, Mr. Alex and Miss Andi represented our school with honor and humility. Mr. Alex participated in men's team sparring and won both his matches. He took 4th in traditional kata, 3rd in sparring, and 1st in weapons. He then went on to win the Adult Forms Grand Champion and the Norris Cup!! Miss Andi won 1st place in Open Kata, 1st in Weapons & 1st in Sparring. She then went on to compete with her chucks in the Jr. Forms Grand Championship and won, meaning she won the Jr. Norris Cup. So, our little school in Ridgeland, SC will have TWO Norris Cups! How awesome is that! The Jr. Norris Cup is already at the school and the Adult Norris Cup should be arriving in a few weeks.  When we have both cups in our possession, we we contacting local papers and TV stations to spread the good news!    If you have any ideas to help us get the work out, know!  Advance A Belt Camp     Aug. 8 & 10  9am-2pm Don't wait until Oct. for your next rank. Learn and test on all the requirements you need for your next belt NOW.  Students won't have another chance to advance in rank until October ... UNLESS they come to this special "Advance A Belt Camp" on August 8th & 10th.   This camp will be two 5 hour days packed with all the requirements students need to get their next rank.  They will test on each portion of the curriculum as it is completed.  At the end of the camp, belts will be awarded to everyone who successfully learned their skills.   The cost is only $75 and it includes the belt test fee!  Space is limited to 10 students, so reserve your spot Today! Make Up Classes Make up some of the lost time from when we were closed ... July 29     5:30-7:00pm Aug. 5      5:00 - 6:00pm Aug. 12    5:30-7:00pm I look forward to seeing each of you back at class this week ... I especially want to see you enjoy the NEW MAT that was in stalled while we were closed. This week's curriculum has been changed ... instead of breaking boards we will be working on Falls, Rolls & Throws.  It's the perfect way to break in our new mat.  We'll break boards at a later time, I promise!

TWO Norris Cups & A New Mat

Pictures from Vegas See pictures from our Vegas Experience on Facebook!  Videos from Vegas See videos from our Vegas Experience on Youtube! TWO Norris Cups & a New Mat! I'm sure you are all curious to know how things went at our Chun Kuk Do training and Competition in Vegas ... Well, if you haven't already seen it on Facebook, hold on to your seat ... We are going to have TWO Norris Cups in Ridgeland for the next year because Alex & Andi both won Grand Champion in Forms ... Alex in the Adult Division and Andi in the Jr. Division. What is the Norris Cup The Norris Cup is by far the most coveted prize in the Chun Kuk Do tournament.  It is a traveling trophy that only Black Belts can compete to win, and only once a year in Vegas at the CKD World Championships.    The winners from each Black Belt division compete against each other for the Grand Championship and possession of the Norris Cup.  The winner then gets to keep the Cup for one year, at which time it is handed down to the next champion ... unless there is a "repeat" winner.   We had the Jr. Forms Norris Cup in our karate school in 2008 when Andi Woods won it.  Then Alex Gardner brought it back to us in 2010. Well, this year our school will be blessed to have both the Jr. Forms Norris Cup and the Adult Forms Norris Cup because both Andi and Alex won their respective divisions.  Two students from the same school winning different cups in the same year ... To our knowledge, this has never happened before.   We are SO proud of Alex and Andi, not only for winning but for representing Dunamis Karate and our Region with honor and humility even in their victories!    See videos of their performances on our Youtube page.        A New Mat ... Really? Yes - We really have put down a new karate mat. The new mat is twice as thick as the old puzzle mats and we know everyone is going to love it.     Getting it down ended up being a much tougher project than originally thought, but thanks to Scott Maxey, along with help from Chris Bunton, Jim Woods, Andi Woods Ashely Maxey and Alex Gardner, the work is done and the floor is ready to greet students next week! You can see pictures of each stage of the work on our Facebook page.  www.Facebook.com/DunamisKarate   Remember we have our LAST Summer Camp this Monday from 9am until 12pm.  There are still a few slots left if you want to come.  The cost is only $20 with the coupon below!
