Updates Week Ending 7/4/09

Today is the beginning of the Summer quarter! Thank you to all who came to graduation on Saturday. We had a very small crowd but there were some really good demonstrations.

We have some scheduling changes you need to be aware of:

SNAP - There will be no SNAP classes during the month of July as many of the students have scheduling conflicts for this month. SNAP classes will resume on Wednesday August 5th.

Wednesday Adult Advanced classes will be held at their normal times.

July 4th Weekend - RKMSF will be CLOSED on Friday July 3rd in observance of the holiday. We WILL be OPEN on Saturday July 4th and running a normal schedule.

Tuition is due Wednesday July 1st.

We will be starting a new form this Saturday! Focus for this quarter is going to shift back to basics. Breathing, footwork, targeting and smoothness. These are the very foundations for which everything we do is built upon. So look for exercises that focus on stance work, targeting and smoothness over the next several months.

Have a great week! See you in class!
Ms. Kris

Updates Week Ending 6/20/09

OK...who turned up the heat?! Whew! It may not officially be summer in Texas until the 21st, but it sure feels like it. And since it is so warm and humid, we are allowing what we affectionately refer to as "summer" uniforms. All students are welcome to wear a T-Shirt (Preferably a KFSS T-Shirt -no tank tops please) and their gi pants with their belt. It does help to keep you cooler, but watch out for the rug burns! Of course you are welcome to continue to wear your gi if you wish to.

There is an update attendance and promotions list in the lobby. If you moving from white to yellow OR brown to black belt, your belt fees are due by June 23rd. If you are receiving a black belt degree, your fee is also due by the 23rd.

Please check the list to verify attendance and promotions!

Kids Movie Night on Friday was cancelled due to weather and low attendance. We will reschedule closer to the end of the summer when our kids return from vacations.

The Thursday night and Friday night 5:30 combined Adult/Kid Class is going well. This is basically two classes in one. Kids work with Kids and Adults with Adults. So if you are an adult without a kid, you are welcome and if you are a kid without an adult, you are welcome too! We already have two parents who have signed up and are learning along with their kids!

There will be NO SNAP class this Wednesday! Advanced Adult Classes at 6 and 7 are still scheduled.

We have several instructor's who are taking some vacation time, so you may see Master Robert show up as a substitute!

SNAP Graduation is Wednesday June 24th at 5pm.

KFSS Graduation is Saturday June 27th. Please come and support your fellow students. Doors will open at 8:30, Graduation will start at 9:30.

Its going to be a HOT week. Remember to drink plenty of liquids during your work outs. Everyone have a great week!

We're going to try an experiment...Thursday and Friday afternoons at 5:30 we're going to offer a concurrent adult-kid class. Class will be 55 minutes and open to parents and their kids (ages 10 and up). We have heard from many parents that they would love to be able to learn but can't spend two hours a night at the school. This is your opportunity! If you are a parent of a currently enrolled child student tuition will be discounted and if you are a currently enrolled adult student child tuition will also be discounted. If you are looking at the school for the first time and this is something that interests you...please let us know!
