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.

MPK Gear & Thanksgiving

Posted on November 19, 2019

Orders for MPK gear — hats, hoodies, and jackets — close Sunday, November 24. We have some sample of items you can order by the front desk. Orders will be ready for pick up by the week of December 9.

Use the link Special Order 2019 and enter the code MPK2019 to access the special order site.

Also, MPK will be closed during Thanksgiving break from Thursday, November 28 through Sunday, December 1. There is school on the 25th and 26th, so we will be here for evening classes and A+ After School program. We will also be here for open gym on Wednesday, November 27 from 5-7 pm. This is a great opportunity to work on colored stripes before the next round of belt resting in December.

Thanks, and have a great week!
