As we dive into summer, we have some important reminders and updates for you:

• Test Week: Next week is Test Week! Eligible students will have the opportunity to earn their forms stripe (yellow) on Wednesday and Thursday. If your student is unable to attend or isn’t ready, don’t worry—there will be more chances to test in the future.
• Class Schedule: Our evening class schedule will remain unchanged throughout the summer. No need to worry about any adjustments to class times!
• Summer Attire: With the warmer weather, students are welcome to wear just their MPK t-shirts all summer long. However, they can continue wearing their gi if they prefer.
• MPK t-shirts are available for $15.00 on the MPK App or at the front desk. (Youth Sizes & Adult Sizes)
• Belt Promotion Testing: Mark your calendars! Belt Promotion Testing for all eligible students will take place during the week of August 12th. This is an exciting event and a significant achievement for our students, so we hope everyone can attend.

Let us know if you have any questions or concerns. We’re wishing you all a safe and fun-filled summer!

Due to a scheduling change with our parking lot maintenance contractor, we are sorry to let you know we will be CLOSED on Saturday, June 1, while the parking lot is resealed. It is a very messy and smelly process! We apologize for any inconvenience…

The studio will be closed this Saturday for Easter Weekend. There will be no Total Fitness or Open Gym/Stripe Testing that day, and we’ll be back to normal on Monday.

NOTE: Classes are on at normal times for the rest of this week, so come on in!

MONDAY, March 18, MPK is hosting a KICK A THON for LLS the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. The door will open at 5:00 pm and the event will begin at 5:30. We expect to have a full house and parking may be a challenge. Feel free to park in the neighborhood across the street and plan a little extra time for that.

If you need an extra board for the event, please stop at the front desk before the beginning of the event. Just a final reminder that our goal was to find 10 people to donate $10 = $100 per participant. So far we have had over 130 boards sold! That would put very close to our goal of $15,000 — but there is still time to donate. Please consider supporting this very worthy and important cause!
