WOW!!!! Thanks to everyone who made Saturday's graduation a great event!!! We had some great demonstrations and really great food and lots of camaraderie and yes....even learned a new dance...the kung fu shuffle! =] Some of the pictures have been posted and there are other galleries now available on the website. For those who missed it...we hope to see you at the December Graduation.
OK...here are the updates for this week:
Today 9/29 begins the KFSS Fall quarter. October tuition is due on the 1st.
Wednesday 10/1 is the beginning of the SNAP Fall quarter. SNAP tuition will be due on the 1st.
Saturday 10/11 - Instructor's class. Master Robert will be conducting lessons in ground techniques...don't miss it!
Thursday 10/16, last day to sign up for Master Darian's Staff class. I need to place the order for the staff's no later than Friday the 17th and if we have more than 20 folks, we will need to relocate the class to a larger area. So PLEASE make sure you sign up.
Saturday 10/25, Master Darian's first of 3 weapons classes, the Staff. Class is $25, with a staff is $47. Class time is 8:30-10:30a. Adult class to follow IF we hold this class at the school. IF we have to move it off site, we will probably NOT have an adult class but WILL have the kids class at 11:30.
Looking ahead...We're getting into the holiday season, so keep a few dates in mind. We will close November 27th and 28th for Thanksgiving. We will have 1 adult and 1 kids class on the 29th. A good way to work off everything you ate over the holidays!
Falls graduation will be December 20th for KFSS and December 17th for SNAP.
Master Robert is in Houston this week so I will have the DVDs of graduation available for purchase next week.
I think that about does it! Don't forget to get your classes in early! Thank you again for being part of our school! We couldn't do this without you!
See you in class!

KFSS Graduation is THIS Saturday (9/27) at 9:30 a.m. Come early to get a good parking spot! Come early to warm up! Come early to be in the picture! Doors will open at 8:30. Just a reminder...please do NOT park in the parking spots that border the Knights of Columbus Hall. You may park in our front spaces, along our building (and in back in the spaces NOT bordering the other buildings). Overflow parking is available on the other side of the Pawn Shop.
Don't forget your side dishes and deserts for the reception following!
The Fall KFSS session begins Sept 29th! This next session will cover some new ground techniques so it should be exciting!

Instructor's Class scheduled for October 11th from 1-2:30. We'll cover some of the new techniques for this term.
October 25th (8:30-10:30) Master Darian's first of three weapons seminar's. This seminar will cover the Staff. Class price is $25 and sign up WILL be necessary as space will be limited. If there is an overwhelming response, we will look into moving the class to a more open area to accommodate the extra participants. We also need to be sure we have enough weapons for everyone.
If you would like to purchase a burned, carved and sealed rattan staff, they will be $22. I will need to place the order no later than October 17th, so let me know ASAP! I will post a picture at the school so you can see what it looks like. Purchase of the staff is NOT necessary to take the class as we will have plenty of the PVC staffs available. Due to the nature of this class, we will only offer it to our students ages 14 and up.
Lots of exciting things are happening! Master Robert and I would like to thank EVERYONE for making RK Martial Sciences a success! We couldn't do it without you!

IKE Update
At 5:45 am, Hurrican IKE is NOT expected to impact the DFW area until 2 pm this afternoon. So morning classes for today will NOT be cancelled due to weather. Sp the school will be open and classes will proceed. The black belt class scheduled for 1pm is still on. If the weather begins to deteriorate we will update the website again or call the school number at 817-590-8585.
The weather event expected in our area is expected to be worse to the EAST of the metroplex, be that doesn't mean we should not be prepared for some severe weather in our area. So if you have plans out doors...keep an eye to the sky.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Galveston and Houston areas.
See you in class!
