Dear Parents and Students
J.R.’s Karate Club has always tried to keep membership rates affordable and over the last 6 years has successfully avoided membership rate increases. However, operation costs have steadily raised over time. To help offset these costs an increase in membership rates will be implemented effective September 2013.
The membership fees can been viewed here.
The 2013-2014 Winter Schedule and opening dates can be viewed here.
We value your patronage and look forward to working with returning students and meeting new members!

A special thanks goes out to all those who brought delicious dishes to share, to those who donated prizes, to Sensei Julie Bieri for running all the games, and to Mrs. Lou Ramirez for the delicious Shishkabobs!
