Hi there folks.  A few of you have told me that some of the pdf downloads are not working on the site.  I’ve checked them in three different browsers and have found no issues.  I know at least one of you couldn’t get them to work on your phone…could this be the issue for the rest of you?  If not, I recommend updating your browser or Adobe Reader.  Also, if you are on your phone I would check to make sure you have a pdf reader app on your phone as well.  I have also tried them on my phone and had no issues.  I hope we can all get them to work 🙂

Bully Defense Seminar!

Saturday September 16th, 2017

This saturday we will be holding our Bully Defense Seminar at the Goffstown Parks & Rec. 10am – 12pm.   This is a FREE seminar for the whole family!  Friends and their families are welcome as well!

Bullying has only gotten worse in today’s day and age.  People are bullied for all kinds of reasons and in many different ways.  What’s worse is that many people don’t actually understand what bullying is or why it happens.  We want to change that!  We also want to teach everyone that using their fists is NOT the best way to deal with a bully!  This will not be a kicking and punching seminar.  Dress comfortable and bring something to drink.

Please let me know if you can come and about how many of you there will be.  Space is limited.

September Testing

Stripe sheets need to be handed in as soon as possible.  Dan students need to pass in their essays as soon as possible as well.  Once a child student has earned their Gold & Silver stripe they can began to earn their Bronze stripe.  Students should make sure they have studied their Terminology and Knowledge.  Please take note that if you are leaving the beginner ranks and going into the intermediate ranks or intermediate to advanced, that you need to study a new Terminology & Knowledge sheet.  Bodan students need to study the Dan Terms & Knowledge in addition to the other three levels.

As a reminder to all who are testing, testing fees for belt testing are now $15 a student.  No changes for refresher or dan testing.

10am to 12pm = Kids Testing.  1pm to 3pm = Adult Testing.

Please arrive 15 minutes before start time.

T-shirts

We are putting together another order for T-shirts.  So if you did not have a chance to order the last time be sure to this time.  Shirts to choose from are Red, Blue and Yellow.  The same design on each with a minor color difference in the ink.  One shirt = $15, two = $30 or three shirts = $40.  Please pay in advance.

Vacation!

August 7th – 11th, 2017

Just a reminder that there will be no classes at either the YMCA or the Parks & Rec. from August 7th to the 11th.

I do not usually take time off in the summer but my wife and I have the opportunity to attend an event that we have heard a lot about.  Basically it’s a giant Medieval Faire with thousands of people in period garb, camping in period tents and doing all kinds of medieval crafts & performances.

We greatly appreciate your understanding.  Thank you!

T-Shirts!

I am putting an order together for new shirts using the same design that I used last time.  This time you will get to pick the color of the shirt:  red, blue or yellow.  As usual the shirts will be $15 each or 3 for $40 (save$5).  I will have the sign up sheet with me at all classes.  This is a Pre Pay order.  I will put the order in mid August and we should have the shirts by the end of August or beginning of September.
