26 Bring a Friend night
On Monday, September 26th we will have our next “bring a friend night”. Especially juniors should bring a buddy from school, a sibling, or a parent out to training. Let them see what you are doing at “KARATE” and see if they might want to join in on the fun by joining up!!! All 4 classes on that night, including the advanced class, will be dedicated to our guests. We will talk about karate history, explain our etiquette, show them many of our basic techniques, and practice a little self defense as well! It will be fun for our students and guests alike! This is an opportunity for us to expose karate to your friends and relatives and see if they want to get involved, but even if they don’t, it will be a fun evening and you can show that person in your life what you are up to at karate in a “hands on“ kind of way! So everyone, bring someone out!
