Ninja Night! Sat 2/29

Posted on February 20, 2020

We are happy to announce our next Ninja Night (aka, Parents’ Night Out) on Saturday, February 29. Drop off the kids for a few hours of fun and games! MPK will serve pizza and a juice box, so dinner is handled. This is a great way to share MPK with a friend — make it a bring a buddy night, too!

This time, students will be split into two groups based on age:

  • Little Kickers (ages 4-7) will have their Ninja Night from 3-5 pm.
  • Juniors (ages 8 and up) will have their Ninja Night from 6-9 pm.

You can find Ninja Night in the MPK app under the Events section, or:

The first student is $20 and each additional student is $15, so bring a friend! Please let us know if you have any problems signing up, we’d be happy to help.

Save a spot now! We expect to fill up…

And lastly, congratulations to everyone who successfully tested earlier this week!

Open for Belt Testing, Yoga Tonight 2/17

Posted on February 17, 2020

We ARE open tonight! We have belt testing beginning at 5:30pm for our gold, orange and green belt students. Please arrive 10 minutes early to prepare for the test. We expect the test to last 45-60 minutes.

Yoga is also happening this evening at 6pm!

Belt Testing Week of Feb 17

Posted on February 13, 2020

Just a reminder that we have belt testing at 5:30 pm on Monday the 17th and Wednesday the 19th. We’ll still have Little Kicker class at 5:00 and yoga as scheduled. There will be no karate classes after 5:30 on those days.

  • Students who have all of their colored stripes and required classes will receive a test permission slip.
  • Intermediate students will test on Monday (students who are currently gold, orange, and green belts).
  • Advanced students will test on Wednesday (students who are currently purple, blue, red, and brown belts).

The test will begin promptly after the Little Kicker class, so please plan to arrive 15 minutes early.

Students who are currently blue belt and up will need to bring their sparring gear. We also recommend that they come to sparring class on Tuesday to get in some practice before the test.

No School Monday 2/3

Posted on January 31, 2020

We will be having Open Gym from 5:30 – 7:00 pm on Monday, February 3, since there is no school. This is a good opportunity to work on colored stripes before belt testing on February 17 and 19.

We will still have Little Kicker class at 5:00 pm and Yoga at 6:00 pm as scheduled.

Also, a few reminders about our school in service day camp:

  • Drop off is at 7:30 am.
  • Please make sure to pack a lunch. MPK will provide morning and afternoon snacks.
  • Pick up is from 4:00 – 5:30 pm.
  • The day camp is not included with our regular after school program, so please make sure to sign up if you need to.

Next week and Beyond at MPK

Posted on January 17, 2020

Since there is no school on Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday, January 20, there will be no after school program at MPK. We will, however, have a day camp which you can find in the MPK app.

We will also have open gym from 5:30 to 7:00 on the 20th, so this is a good opportunity to work on colored stripes before testing next month. Tentative test dates are Monday, February 17, for intermediate students and Wednesday, February 19, for advanced students.

The DeForest school district also has early release next Friday, January 24. We are offering a half day camp, which you can also find in the MPK app. The pick up window for the half day camp is 4:00 to 5:30 pm.

If you’re interested in our weapons classes, we’ll be starting out next rotation with nunchaku soon so stay tuned for more information on that.
