RK Martial Sciences & Fitness

This is forms week.  Adult forms class will be Wednesday 2/15 at 6:30p.  We are working on the new class form so this is an excellent opportunity to be able to focus your attention on just forms. 

Also, if you have not paid your February tuition, please contact me at 817-590-8585.  If you want us to keep our doors open its important that tuition be paid on time.

There are some faces I haven't seen in class in a while...I know life gets really really busy this time of year, but I want to encourage you to make the time to train.  You will find focus and energy you never knew you had!

See you in class!

Alright everyone!  It was great to see everyone on Saturday!  Master Robert will be back the 1st weekend in February and until he returns, Jason, Jacob and I will be covering the Saturday classes.

Speaking of Jason...that always brings to mind FORMS!  For those who were not here on Saturday, we started a new class form.  Trust me...it's a whole lot easier to get in on the beginning of a form than trying to learn it after everyone else has completed it.  So get to class now!!!

We're going to move the Forms class to the 1st, 3rd and 5th Wednesday's of the month beginning February 1st from 6:30-7:30p.  Since we're starting a new class form, we've decided to open this class up to anyone wanting to really dive into forms and how they relate to fighting.  So plan on attending!

The little kids class on Tuesday's and Saturday's is a big hit!  We have 6 little ones registered and these little ones are just awesome!  If you know someone with a 4-6 year old who really wants to learn Kung Fu, this is the place to start them.  Tuesday's 5:30-6p and Saturday's 11:30a-noon.

Everyone have a fantastic week!

See you in Class!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!!

I hope it was safe and happy for all of you!  It is the beginning of a new year which means a time to refocus and re-prioritize to make sure your Kung Fu gets the attention it needs.  I speak from experience when I say Kung Fu really IS in everything! 

Here's what's coming up:

Regular classes resume today (yes I know its a holiday for lots of folks....but its a good time to get the kids back into the swing of things!).

There is a schedule change on Tuesday's - Instead of Adults at 5:30, we will have a little kid's class (4-6yr old) so now we have two classes for the little ones.  (Saturdays at 11:30 and Tuesdays at 5:30)  There will be no additional charge for those currently enrolled.  Please call me if you have any questions or email me at kris@rkmartialsciences.com.

The rest of our schedule remains the same, so we hope to see everyone in class soon!!!

Make it a great New Year!
Ms. Kris

Good Morning Everyone!  I just want to say thank you to everyone who came out for KFSS graduation on Saturday.  We had a really great turn out and I know the folks being promoted appreciated it.

We're going into a Holiday week so I want to re-iterate the Holiday Schedule.

RKMSF will be open for regular classes on Monday and Tuesday this week the will close thru 12/30.  We will run ONE (1) Adult Class on 12/31 from 9a to 10:30a for those who need to stretch their legs and work off some Holiday meals. =) Then we will re-open on 1/2 with our regular class schedule.

Master Robert and I want to wish Everyone a very Happy Holiday Season!  We hope to see everyone back in class after the New Year!

OK everyone....we're heading into that time of year where EVERYONE (myself included) gets over scheduled, overworked, and over frazzled!  (yes...I said frazzled.)  It's more important than ever to make sure you schedule time to do something for yourself and your family.  Remember that training in Kung Fu is something you do for yourself (and trust me...your family benefits too!). 

The benefits of training regularly are increased focus and awareness, exercise, and an overall sense of well-being.  Training not only at the school but at home makes Kung Fu a way of life. 

Try this...(doesn't matter if you are a child or an adult)
At least once a day find 10-15 minutes and a quiet place to either stretch, do a form, or just focus on breathing.  You will find you have more focus and energy whether you are at work or at school.  If you're like me and sit at a desk during the day...you get pretty stiff and tired.  Taking those 10 minutes helps alleviate physical tension and gives me the energy I need to get through the rest of my day.

We're heading into the homestretch for our December KFSS graduation on December the 17th.  6 weeks left!  We will have some schedule modifications around the Thanksgiving and Christmas Holidays so be on the look out for those.

We ARE planning a kids movie night in December on the 16th (from 6-9) so make plans to be there!

Have a great week and we'll see you in class!
Ms. Kris
