holiday

We want everyone to be safe this holiday season.  Due to severe weather conditions, J.R.’s Karate Club has rescheduled the Holiday Party to December 21, 2013.  We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you.

In light of this change, we kindly ask everyone to RSVP for this alternate date.

Please join us at this year’s pot luck holiday party at Sherwood Park Dojo!  The festivities start at 2:00 PM.  Please bring a pot luck dish to share with the all of the guests. Let Lou know if there are any food allergies which the group should be made aware of.

Santa will hand out gifts!  Each parent/guardian supplies one wrapped gift marked with their child’s name on it.  The gifts are placed in a central location where Santa Claus will call out each persons name and hand out the gift.

Santa will be joining us at 3:00 PM sharp to hand out gifts, so make sure all participants are present at that time!

After Santa hands out gifts there will be a movie for all the guests to watch.  The dojo mats will be layed out; however, it is suggested to bring something soft to sit on such as a blanket.  Movie to be determined.

Thank you for your response. ✨

Membership Rates

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!
