Nunchuck Class Enrollment Info

Posted on November 9, 2022

For anyone interested in our weapons program, there’s still time to sign up for both our introductory nunchaku seminar and our 8-week weapons class. Any student aged 7 to adult who is a Gold Belt or higher can enroll (links below).

Nunchaku Seminar – Tuesday, November 15 from 5:30-6:30pm. There will be no sparring class for ages 11 and up on this date, and beginning on Tuesday, November 22, sparring for the older age group will move to the later time slot, from 6:05-6:45pm.

This one hour seminar is the introduction to the weapon and the form we’ll be learning. We’ll cover weapon safety, handling techniques, and a demonstration of the form. We recommend that everyone interested in taking the class also take this seminar, even if you’ve had prior experience. It will give you a refresher on techniques and a jump start on learning the form. There are three registration options:

8-Week Nunchaku Class – November 22 through January 17. Tuesday evenings from 5:30-6:00 pm, but excluding December 27th.

If you’d like to see examples of the foam and graphite nunchucks in the different sizes, they’re available at the front desk, and we’re happy to answer any additional questions you have.

Evening Schedule Change Beginning This Week

Beginning November 1, our regular evening class schedule will change from Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday evenings to Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday evenings. Class times will remain the same. Along with this change, our sparring classes will be switched to Tuesday evenings — currently in the same time slots as they’ve been.

Also, many of you have asked about our next weapons class, and we’re excited to announce that we’ll be starting that back up in November with an 8-week weapons rotation for Nunchucks. This will be open to students age 7 and older who are at a rank of Gold Belt or higher, and classes will meet on Tuesday evenings at 5:30. When this class starts, sparring for ages 11 and up will change to a 6:05 p.m. start. More information will be coming later this week for dates, cost, and registration, so watch your email and our MPK Families Facebook page if you’re interested!

The studio is closed 10/31 for Halloween.

Saturday Open Gym Opportunities

Posted on May 6, 2022

We have a great new update to our Saturday schedule, beginning Saturday, May 7th (update schedule is here). We’ll be offering Open Gym times from 9:30 – 10:30 am, and we plan to offer this every week unless we announce a cancellation for testing or other special events.

Open gym is a time for students to work on the specific areas of their curriculum that they need to practice. Junior and Adult students can get their cards from the front desk and work independently or in pairs in the areas of their choice. For Little Kickers students, this is a great time for parents to kick off their shoes and help their student(s) work through their cards.

There may be Black Belt instructors available intermittently to answer questions and help out, but there will be no structured class. Students who attend Open Gym for at least 45 minutes and maintain focus during their workout will earn a class stamp for that day.

Please note that those students who want to test for a colored stripe will still need to register for a time slot on the MPK app, although if we have the instructors available, we may be able to provide some help or do the occasional stripe test during Open Gym.
