Events and Info for March

Posted on March 16, 2016

Hi MPK Families, there are a few important dates and changes coming up for the end of March. Here’s a quick summary:

  • Weapons Seminar — just a reminder for those of you who signed up for the Bo or Bokken seminar this weekend, we’ll be starting at 4:00 on Saturday, March 19th. Please come a few minutes early if you still need to take care of payment or pick up your weapon.
  • Super Sunday — there will be a Super Sunday this weekend, March 20th from 5:00-6:30 p.m. for 1st and 2nd Degree Black Belt Candidates. With only one Super Saturday this month, this is a great opportunity to get the additional training in, especially for those of you who might test in July — ramp up for the July test starts in April!
  • No Class Saturday, March 26 — we will be closing on Easter weekend, so there will be no Total Fitness or martial arts classes that Saturday.
  • Weapons/Hyper Rotation — In April we’ll be starting the next rotation of Hyper and weapons training with both Bo and Bokken modules available. Classes will be Tuesday evenings and Saturday mornings and are appropriate for both kids (8 and up) and adults. Cost is $20 per month ($60 for the 3-month rotation), and the sign up sheet will be available after this weekend’s seminar. It’s not necessary to attend the seminar to participate in the program.
  • Tuesday Evening Schedule Change — Beginning in April, our Tuesday night schedule will change to allow our A+ After School members the opportunity to participate in our Weapons/Hyper training. The new schedule is below — please also note the change to the sparring age groups.

    • 3:30 – 5:00 – A+ After School classes (no change)
    5:00 – 5:45 – Hyper/Weapons class with Bo and Bokken
    5:45 – 6:15 – Group 1 Sparring – all students age 4-10
    6:15 – 7:00 – Group 2 Sparring – all students age 11 and older
    7:00 – 8:00 – Total Fitness Training (no change)

  • Lost and Found — a lot of our lost items have found their homes, but we still have some sweatshirts and other clothing, water bottles and lunchboxes hanging out at the studio. If you haven’t checked it out, please do in the next couple of weeks. We’ll be donating any items still left at the end of March.
    Thanks, have a fantastic week!
