First, we want to congratulate all our students who passed the rank testing last week.

Second, we are still working in our normal schedule this week (Dec 19 – Dec 25). During School Vacation next 2 weeks we will work as usual, with 2 exceptions: we will be closed on Monday, December 26, 2022 and Monday, January 2, 2023.

In other words, the last training session in 2022 will be Friday, December 30, 2022, and training will resume in New 2023 Year on Wednesday, January 4, 2023.

Happy Holidays!

Our regular Rank Testing this season will take place on Friday, December 16, 2022 from 6 pm to 8 pm (both Kinder and Kids groups together). Additional details will be shared directly to all prospective participants.

Happy Halloween to all our students on Monday, October 31st, 2022! Earl Bales CC, following City of Toronto instructions, forbid kids under 12 years old inside the Centre after 4 pm.

Due to that, our Kinder and Kids groups will not be able to practice. Because of that we decided to cancel all our training sessions on Monday, October 31st, 2022 including Youth and Adults one (13+). I hope instead of that, you will have a very fun Trick or Treat with your family and friends. Our training will resume on Wednesday, November 2, 2022.

This Saturday, October 22, 2022 an athlete from our club, Maksym Hlushko, participated in Karate Ontario Recreational League Tournament 5. That was our first athlete participation in a tournament after the start of the Pandemic. He performed in Kumite 8-9 years old White to Orange belts. He had 4 matches, put a great fight and win 2 matches and lost 2. Great Job for first participation. 3rd place was a well deserved result. Way to go, Max!

No classes on Monday, October 10, 2022, as we Canadians are observing Thanksgiving Day!
