We’d like to announce our exciting new rotation for weapons training! We’ll be holding a Bokken and Bo seminar featuring your choice of the Bo (staff) or Bokken (wooden sword) on Saturday, March 19, from 4-6 pm.
The seminar is open to those students who are age 9 and older and who are at Gold Belt or higher. White Belts or those under age 9 may attend with instructor permission. Cost for this training is:
- $40 for either the bo or bokken seminar and weapon (standard wooden weapons for students 12 and up. — younger students will benefit from a lighter foam weapon)
- $25 for the seminar if you already have your weapon
- $65 for the bo seminar with an upgrade to a lightweight graphite bo
*The sign-up sheet is on the front desk now. Because we need to allow time to order weapons, you must get signed up no later than Thursday, March 10. If you can’t make it in to sign up, you’re welcome to email us at this address — please see the list of information to include below.
This is a great opportunity for both adults and junior students to learn a new skill, and we’ll be carrying these weapons into our next Hyper Training and Weapons rotation beginning in April. Along with the new rotation, we’ll have new schedule for Tuesday night classes to allow more people the opportunity to participate in the weapons class. Beginning in April, the Tuesday night schedule will be as follows:
- 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)
Cost for the 3-month Hyper/Weapons rotation from April-June is $20 per month — you may choose to pay $60 for the rotation or add $20 to your regular tuition payment if you pay monthly. Signup for the Hyper Rotation will begin after the seminar.
