I'd like to let you know that key Instructors at each of our locations are traveling to the Diamond Nationals this Friday and Saturday so you won't see them in class.  We do have substitutes to help teach but it may not be exactly the way you are used to.  So please give them grace and help them as much as you can!

The Instructors that are on the road trip are Mr. Nelson, Mr. Drescher, Mr. Payne, Mr. Lopez, Mr. Manaloto, Mr. Wilkins and a hand full of students.  Maybe you can come with them next year!

The Diamond Nationals is the tournament that National Karate produces and it's the largest sport karate tournament in North America!  It is held in Minnesota, which is the birth place of National Karate.  It is called the Diamonds because the Black Belt winners win a diamond ring! (Below black belt win 5 foot trophies!)

Your instructors are going to either compete or run the tournament.  They will be working hard Friday and Saturday but they will be having fun too!  So wish us well and we will see you next week!
