Holiday Homestretch
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!

Thank you!
Master Robert and I would like to say THANK YOU to everyone who made this weekend with Master Ted a great success! It was great to see our new friends from Huntsville with Reeder's Kung Fu School. It's always great to meet new people who share a common interest.
Many thanks to Jason for making all the travel arrangements and playing host for Master Ted. We truly have the best students! And we wouldn't have a school without you!

Cooler Temps on the Horizon?
Only if you consider 96-99 degrees cooler! But hey...after 60+ days of over 100, I'll take it! That's what the Weather Channel is projecting beginning Thursday...but wait, this is Texas....it will most likely change by tomorrow. ;-) Mother Nature keeps teasing us with these little showers, but believe it or not, I heard there should be some good rain coming in a week or so. THAT will be nice!
Enough about the weather! Here's what's coming up at RKMSF:
Sept 1 - Tuition is due.
Sept 3-5 - Labor Day Weekend. No classes Saturday or Monday. Classes resume on Tuesday.
Sept 24 - KFSS Graduation. Doors open at 8:30a, Graduation will start at 9:30. If you are moving from white to yellow belt, please make sure I have your belt fees by the 17th. Even if you aren't changing ranks, please come and support your fellow students.
Sept 26 - Fall Quarter begins
October 21-23 Master Ted Sias visits! (NOTE the date change) We had a schedule conflict come up and had to change the weekend. I'll be working with Jason and Master Ted to put a schedule of events and prices together over the next couple of weeks.
That's all for now. Everyone stay cool!

We've had some really good class attendance lately and hopefully this will continue. We've lost some of our students due to summer activities and look forward to their return. We've even had some students return after a long absence...welcome back!

New Class for the Little Kids!
We have several smaller kiddos who watch their big brothers and sisters in Kung Fu class and while they're not quite big enough for regular classes, they WANT to learn. So we're implementing a Little Kids class on SATURDAYS ONLY from 11:30a-12p effective 7/16. This class will be for ages 4-6 and focus on teaching the little ones how to follow instructions, tumbling, respect and basically learning how to use their little bodies.
We will move the regular kids class from it's 11:30 start time to 12 noon and it will go from noon to 1pm. We hope this will give the little kids the attention they need to be able to succeed at Kung Fu as they grow.
If you know of a child age 4-6 and you think this would benefit them, please let me know!
Everyone have a safe and happy 4th of July!
See you in class!

It's Officially Summer in Texas!
OK...well not "officially" (not til June 21), but the temperature outside is what is expected during a Texas summer. I don't know about you but I got lulled into a false sense of "cool" with all the lovely spring temperatures (not to mention the spring storms, but that's another topic). Time to break out the summer uniforms. For those who are new...summer uniforms are a T-shirt, gi pants and your belt. Please make sure your T-shirt has sleeves (NO TANK TOPS!). The board at the school says summer uniforms start June 1, but I think we can start today.
Advanced forms this month will be Friday June 3rd at 7pm and Friday June 17th at 7pm.
Spring KFSS Graduation is June 25 at 9:30a. I will post a tentative promotions list by Saturday. PLEASE check it for promotions.
Spring SNAP Graduation is June 29th at 5pm. Promotions list will also be posted in the lobby. ALSO, PLEASE check it for correct rankings.
With the weather (and humidity) heating up, it will be more important than ever to stay hydrated. Let's review...Drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks and limit exposure during the heat of the day.
Everyone have a great week and we'll see you in class!!

Updates for this week (8/11-8/17)
It's going to be a busy week at RKMSF....
Vivian Hall (one of our Senior Black Belts) has asked me to pass on some information regarding a film shoot in Haltom City on Tuesday. Here is the information:
Well be shooting from 7-9. Looking for people above the age of 20 Caucasian. There will be snacks they will get copy of the film. The extras will be audience members at a tea party meeting. I don't think bringing kids would be a good idea. They will need to dress middle to upper middle class casual. Two outfits will be necessary.
Tuesday April 12th 7:00 pm
Oscars Mexican restaurant
3408 Denton highway
Haltom City 76117

It's Official! Spring has Sprung....at least in Texas!
Happy Spring everyone!
And its going to be a busy one! Graduations, picnics, festivals...we've got something for everyone!
Here's what's happening:
March 25th - Advanced Forms - 7-8pm. This will be another practice session led by Jacob and myself as Jason will not be available. This is an excellent opportunity to catch up on what you've missed and work on smoothing out the rough spots so we look good when the teacher comes back! ;-)
March 26th - KFSS Graduation - 9:30 am. Doors open at 8:30. This is a very special Graduation as our own Harry Weekly will receive his Masters rank. Mr. Eddie is making his award winning brisket and beans! We have several other Black Belt degree promotions and lots of folks moving from white to yellow belt. (Belt Fees are due this week) Make plans to attend this event even if you aren't receiving a promotion. Come and support your fellow students. Plan to bring a side dish or drink and stay and celebrate this occasion with us. It takes a very long time to receive the rank of Master and shows a true commitment to the art of Kung Fu San Soo.
March 30th - SNAP Graduation - 5pm This is a small but dedicated group who work really hard. Please come out and support them as they continue their progress.
April 1 - KFSS tuition due.
April 6 - SNAP tuition due.
April 16/17th - Ft. Worth Japanese Festival - I have not received a schedule for this event yet so I don't have any times. If you are planning to be a part of the demo team, we will need to meet before the 16th to go over our presentation. More to come.
April 30th - 1st Annual RKMSF school picnic at Chisholm Park (http://www.ci.hurst.tx.us/Departments/Parks/Chisholm.htm)
The picnic will take place between 1-5pm at the Tejas Pavilion. The school will provide Hamburgers and Hot Dogs (buns and condiments) as well as plates and plastic ware. Sign up sheet is in the lobby for side dishes. We will have fun and games and it should be a really good time for everyone! We have so many new students and this is a great way to get to know other folks in the school.
Whew! That's it for now. Stay tuned for upcoming events!
See you in Class!

Winter Weather....Round 3!
Can you believe this? Another Winter Storm headed our way tonight. Weather folks are saying there is a 70% chance of more rain, freezing rain, sleet and snow due in North Texas beginning sometime after 10p tonight and ending around midday tomorrow and temperature is supposed to stay in the 20's on Wednesday and not get over freezing on Thursday.
As always the safety of our students and instructor's is our primary concern. We will most likely have to cancel the SNAP class on Wednesday and there is a possibility we will have to cancel classes on Thursday. The weather folks say the temps on Friday should be in the 40's so we should be good for Saturday classes.
The next ADVANCED FORMS class will be Friday February 25th due to Jason's travel schedule. Please mark your calendar's. As we go into March we may see the schedule change somewhat. More to come on that.
Please stay tuned to the website or the RK Martial Sciences Facebook Fan Page for updates.

Saturday (2/5) Classes Cancelled
As much as we REALLY don't want to, Master Robert and I both agree conditions will not have improved enough in the morning to hold classes.
We hope by Monday the roads will have cleared and we should be able to hold class. Stayed tuned!
Again, our apologies. The safety of our instructors and students is always our priority.

Thursday 2/3 Updated 8:34A - CLASSES CANCELLED
I just received a report from our roving reporter Jacob, who braved the ice to bring us the conditions at the school.
The good news? The school is still standing and no pipes have frozen and there's power.
The bad news? Brown Trail is a solid sheet of ice between Hwy 183 and Bedford Rd as is the school parking lot.
So it looks like we will stay closed today. No Thursday classes.
We'll keep everyone posted on Saturday.
I don't know about you guys but I'm starting to go a little stir crazy. But I have been using this time to practice forms and other exercises.
Stay warm everyone!

Thursday 2/3 and still 15 Degrees!
OK...I'm trying to see the upside of 3 days of subfreezing temperatures....hmmmmm....oh I know! Less summer bugs? I know...it's a stretch. =)
As most everyone knows, temperatures today aren't expected to get out of the low 20's. We can still expect rolling black outs today and while the more heavily traveled roads will most likely clear up, side streets, over passes and under passes will still be treacherous.
At this point its hard to tell if we will be able to open the school this evening. I still can't get out of my driveway (OK...I can slide down it but can't get back up!). As I am supposed to teach the 4:30/5:30 classes today...that could be a problem. So......
Master Robert and I are monitoring conditions. Our two biggest concerns are the rolling blackouts and the re-freezing of any moisture that melts during the day as temperatures will go back down to the teens after dark. Please monitor the website for additional info as we go thru the day. I know all the major school districts including Keller and HEB are closed today.
To top it all off...additional snow is expected this evening late. Not like what we had but it will make for an interesting Friday.
Temperatures are supposed to be in the high 30's and 40's on Saturday, so we should be able to hold our Saturday classes with no problems.
Stay tuned for more info.
If you live in the HEB area and have street information, please email me at kris@rkmartialsciences.com.
Be safe out there!

Closing Update 2/2/11
Ok gang....looks like we're in for the coldest night we've seen in 15 years! Temperatures around 10 degrees with windchills about -10! ANY precipitation on the ground will freeze solid tonight (not like it thawed a whole lot today anyway). It is not expected to climb out of the teens tomorrow either, so.....
We will NOT have the Wednesday night SNAP class.
We'll make a determination tomorrow night once we can determine what road conditions will be like on Thursday about Thursday classes. Stay tuned to the website for additional updates.
Remember to bring your pets in tonite. Are furry friends are equipped for cold....but not this cold!

RKMSF CLOSED TUESDAY 2/1/11
Well...the weather folks got it right! The sleet started at my home in Roanoke at 3:25am...by 5am all roads and even yards were covered in sleet (about an inch). The transition to snow with start shortly and they anticipate about 4-6" here.
RKMSF will be closed today. NO CLASSES. If you HAVE to travel today...be VERY careful! Otherwise stay home, stay warm and enjoy the snow day!
The temperature is not expected to get out of the 20's tomorrow and we'll make the determination to cancel the SNAP class tomorrow morning.

Updates Week Ending 2/5/11
Ya' know.....the weather this week is going to give new meaning to the phrase "If you don't like the weather in Texas...stick around...it will change!"
As the Arctic Front pushes into North Texas we will see thunderstorms (some severe...even the possibility of a tornado!) before the cold air arrives and the precipitation then turns to freezing rain, sleet and eventually snow during the day tomorrow (Tuesday). PLEASE check the website as I will post whether we will close tomorrow night. The email may not reach you until Wednesday. If the temperature stays below freezing on Wednesday, then any moisture on the roads and bridges will continue to make driving hazardous...again...check the website for school closing.
Tomorrow is also the 1st of February and tuition is due. CC payments will be run tomorrow evening.
Updated attendance counts will be available this afternoon.
The next Advanced Forms class is this Saturday 2/5 during the 10AM class.
KFSS Winter Graduation is March 26th at 9:30AM and SNAP Graduation is March 30th at 5PM.
We have welcomed a lot of new students to RK Martial Sciences since the beginning of January. If you see a face you don't recognize, introduce yourself and get to know these students. We have the absolute best students and Master Robert and I could not keep the school going without each and everyone of you!
Be safe out there this week. Between the weather and the Super Bowl things will be very interesting.

We have welcomed a lot of new students to RK Martial Sciences since the beginning of January. If you see a face you don't recognize, introduce yourself and get to know these students. We have the absolute best students and Master Robert and I could not keep the school going without each and everyone of you!
Be safe out there this week. Between the weather and the Super Bowl things will be very interesting.

Calling all ID's!
In Kung Fu San Soo language...that's Instructors in Development. Our kids classes are growing by leaps and bounds, specifically the 6:30 classes on Tuesday and Thursday. We need at least 1 additional set of eyes in these classes besides the instructor's. We have alot of white belts and with the classes as large as they have been...it is difficult to keep your eye on everything and kids being kids, they like to experiment with things they see on TV or have seen in the adult classes which can be extremely dangerous.
Please let me know if you have the availability to help out with these classes thru the end of the school year. During the summer months, we need the help in the 4:30 classes.
Thanks!

January is almost over!
January has just flown by! We're officially into the last week of January and while the computer program is still on the fritz, I am getting all the attendance data organized and should have totals to date at the school this evening.
BTW....Did anyone happen to pick up a set of keys off of the window sill on Saturday. One of our students is missing her car keys. If you did end up with an extra set of keys, please contact me at the school phone number 817-590-8585 so we can make arrangements to get them back to her.
Remember KFSS Graduation is March 26th at 9:30 and SNAP graduation is March 30th at 5pm.
I hope everyone has a great week!
See you in class!

Ready! Set! Go!
On your mark! Get set! Go!
It's January and the holidays are over. We've missed our Kung Fu students and instructors and hope everyone is ready to get back into training. I know I am.
KFSS classes resume their normal schedules on Monday the 3rd. SNAP resumes on the 5th. The next Advanced Forms class will be on Saturday the 8th during the 10am class. If one of your New Years resolutions is to get in shape...do an hour's worth of forms!
If another resolution is to take your Kung Fu to the next level...consider private instruction. Any of our instructors are able to provide instruction in groups of 2-3 that will focus on areas YOU wish to improve. Prices are arranged with the instructors and range from $50-$125 per hour.
Everyone have a great week and we'll see you in class!
