SPECIALS - 30 minutes ($3.00)

Sensei Sean would like to invite all green belts and above OR students who are 8 years old and above to join our Specials Class. For the Fall Semester we will be learning Staff. Specials are available at Ashton Ranch from 7:30 pm - 8:00 pm and at Kingswood from 12:30 pm - 1:00 pm.

A Staff can be purchased from ActivStars Athletics, the links are at the bottom of this email.
You may purchase a 1" or 1.25" diameter dowel rod from Lowe's or Home Depot to use as a Staff. The Staff should be about the same height as the student or a little shorter. I am 5'3" so I use a 5' Staff.
Sensei Sean has a limited number of Staffs to lend out for the class.
Specials can also be used as a make-up class by paying the regular class fee of $9 or $10, depending on which class your child is in.

CLINICS - 60 minutes ($10.00)

Any Clinics we provide will be done at Kingswood Elementary on Saturdays from 2:00 pm - 3:00 pm, and Invites/Notices will be sent out prior to the Clinic

LINKS TO PURCHASE KARATE GI (UNIFORM) & OTHER EQUIPMENT

IN ORDER TO GET THE RIGHT SIZE, GO BY HEIGHT AND THEN WEIGHT

EXAMPLE: I AM 5'3" SO I WOULD GET A SIZE 3, BUT SINCE I AM BIGGER, I WOULD NEED TO GET A SIZE 6 TO FIT AROUND ME. IT WILL BE LONG, BUT SLEEVES AND PANTS CAN ALWAYS BE HEMMED.
