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.

Please remember that we’re closed for evening karate classes and yoga tonight 10/31 (Monday night) for Halloween.

• Monday classes begin at 5:00 PM with our Little Kickers program, 5:35 PM youth to adult and 6:15 PM for advanced
• Tuesday sparring begins at 5:00 PM for ages 4-10 and 5:30 for 11 year olds and up.
• Wednesday classes begin at 5:00 PM with our Little Kickers program, 5:35 PM youth to adult and 6:15 PM for advanced.
• Thursday classes begin at 5:00 PM with our Little Kickers program, 5:35 PM youth to adult and 6:15 for advanced.
• Friday – NO Classes

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.

This Saturday the 28th, we will not have open gym. We will be open for kickboxing at 8 am, and Mrs. Taylor will be at the studio for stripe testing appointments.

We will be closed on Memorial Day, Monday, May 30. We hope you enjoy this Memorial Day Weekend as we honor those men & women who have died defending our freedoms.

Lastly, we’d like to give a warm welcome to Jasmine, who just started at the front desk this past week. Please feel free to stop by and introduce yourself!

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.

We hope you’re all staying safe in today’s icy weather! To keep our staff and students safe, we have decided not to hold martial arts or kickboxing class tonight, Tuesday, Feb. 22.

Thank you all so much, and we’ll see you for sparring on Wednesday or regular classses on Thursday!
