play day

This Saturday, the 20th, from 10:00 until 2:00 we will be having a play day. Come have some fun, hang out, eat, what ever. Should be fun for every one. Tuesday, class will be out Christmas party. Once again should be fun. Be there, be square, or beware.

no class

Just a reminder that during bad weather, the general rule is that if school is canceled, class at Piasa will be canceled. Hope your all safe and warm.

Better sooner than later.

As discussed in class recently, we will be phasing out our cloth pads. So it would be a good idea to get your own soon. Having your own head gear, chest protector and, gloves(for karate) would be a good idea too. Having your own gear saves time in class and is more sanitary than sharing with everyone. And for those of you planning on tournament training and competition, having your own equipment is almost a must. Christmas is a great time to ask for the things you need. It does take time for orders to come in so you should tell someone soon that you would like it if you could get new gear for Christmas.

Happy Thanksgiving

We hope you all have a good Thanksgiving. Take some time to have a quiet moment and reflect on all the things you have to be thankful for. We live in a great nation where we take for granted many freedoms that others only dream of. There are very few that have the luxuries we have. We have been blessed and should give thanks. So whether you want to stop and say a prayer, or simply tell your parents that you appreciate the things they do for you, find some way to show that you know you are lucky. You will feel better for it. Don't forget to practice on this long week end, as there will not be class until next week.

Test this Saturday

If you are planning to test be ready for this Saturday. We have been working on validating in class for a couple weeks now and you should be aware of the things you need to practice on to be ready. The test is for all ages and ranks and will begging at 9:00am. You should show up early to fill out paper work and to warm yourself up. Come ready to impress and remember the 5 P's.

Proper Preparation Prevents Poor Preformance!
