Hello Parents and Students!
Welcome to the Fall 2025 Semester with Sensei Sean, Sensei Ashton, and Sensei David. Please be sure to read all information below, especially under "IMPORTANT NOTICE". That's where class changes will happen, homework, events, and other changes will be. The "GENERAL INFORMATION" portion has the weekly schedule for each location along with the address.
*************************
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Please read this weekly for any last-minute schedule changes, added classes, location changes, and other upcoming important events.
*************************
From Your Instructors,
Our secretary team has been working around the clock to balance our classes, and after reviewing rosters, they’ve done a phenomenal job. If you received a call or message about adjusting class times, please do your best to comply with the requested schedule. If the new time is not possible, simply reply to this email and we’ll work with you to find a solution.
Now that we have a clearer understanding of our class times and with our streamlined check-in process, both check-in and class flow should run more smoothly.
We are also encouraging fewer parents in the room during classes. This helps ensure quality instruction, creates more of a dojo-like environment, and allows students to focus more effectively on their training.
Please note that we do have a Saturday class if students would like to try this day instead of going to a Thursday Night class. The schedule is in the General Information section of this email.
- Payment Reminder
Our 17-week program is divided into 6 monthly installments. Since we began in late August, the next installment is now due with the start of the new month. Going forward, payments will be due on the 1st of each month:
- October 1
- November 1
- December 1
- January 1
- This Week in Class
Looking ahead, our instructor team is excited to continue the strong tradition of martial arts instruction with your student. This week, students will be working on self-defense skills, including how to break free from common abduction grips, as well as learning how to square off and control a ring through safe, fun activities such as flag sparring and other ring games.
We look forward to seeing you in class and continuing this journey together.
Sincerely,
Your Instructor Team
