Hi everyone,
I wanted to let you know that I received a memo from the city stating that the recreation center will be closed due to the snow. As a result, we’ll be canceling tonight’s class. Additionally, Saturday’s class will also be canceled due to the long weekend.
Thank you for your understanding, and we’ll see you next Tuesday! Please stay safe on the roads.
Best,
Sensei Joe
Dear Everyone,
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you’re enjoying this festive season with your loved ones.
Thank you all for supporting our Christmas party and bringing such delicious snacks. A special thank you to Anna for organizing the fantastic games, and to Henry for providing the wonderful Christmas music. If anyone has a group picture from the event, please share it on the “J.R.’s Karate Club” Facebook page. We would love to see it!
I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome the following new members to our club:
I am confident that their expertise will greatly benefit our club, and we will continue to progress in calisthenics, kata, and kumite.
Enjoy the holidays, and I look forward to seeing you all next year on January 7, 2025.
Your truly,
Sensei Joe
