We will be starting another fun rotation of Leadership Team Training. By popular demand we bringing back the Bo as our training weapon on this rotation. If you have not tried the bo before now is the time to five it a whirl! If you have not participated in our Leadership Team training before I will attach some info regarding the purpose of Leadership Team Training.

To kick off this off this rotation we will be hosting a seminar with Todd Anderson Sensei. Wisconsin Representative (MKKI) Matayoshi Kobudo Kodokan International on Saturday, Nov. 10 at 9:30am.

Everyone is welcome to participate in the seminar (click below) as we will be introducing traditional bo training to our group. This is new information for everyone, so even if you have some experience, there will be fresh and interesting skills to master. Please sign up at the counter to for both the Leadership Team and for the Seminar so we can get a head count. We also will need to order bos for those of you who do not have one.

This is the schedule for this week’s testing and graduation (Oct 15-18). If you are not testing this week you may still attend class with your regular belt rank group. Please keep in mind we have split the groups by rank — not by age — for testing. Students may schedule make-up time on Tuesday by contacting Mr. Armstrong or Mrs. Taylor ahead of time.

Please be on time for your test and be in full uniform. Test fees and permission slips are due before graduation of Thursday.

Just a couple things to note as we get back into the flow of fall and the start of the school year. Classes have been busy and energetic here at the studio as we are preparing for testing which is less than a month away — October 15th through the 18th are final evaluations with graduation on Thursday the 19th. Please make room on your calendars for this week and be sure you have all your classes in. You need a minimum of 40 to graduate to your next belt. Red belts need 80.

Saturday the 29th of September WE WILL NOT HAVE CLASS. Our Black Belt Team will be in Minneapolis for a training seminar. This will be an awesome trip and we hope to bring back some great information to add to our program.

The last note for the day has to do with the waiting area. Please try and keep noise to a minimum as well as monitor small siblings. Due to the acoustics in the studio, it can be very noisy and that makes it difficult for students to hear instructions. Your instructors will really appreciate your cooperation. Thanks!

Now that school is back and underway, there’s a few items to call to your attention… (more…)
