November Updates

Good Morning Everyone!


Just wanted to remind everyone Forms class is this Wednesday at 7pm. Also we are heading into the holiday season, so now is the time to get your classes in for December graduation.

Also wanted to remind everyone about the Grand Opening of Reeder Kung Fu in Huntsville the weekend of Dec 7th-9th. Master Ted will be on site for seminars so its another opportunity to study with the Master! Please contact me for additional information.

Everyone have a great week and we'll see you in class!

Ms. Kris

October Info

Good Morning all. After a week of being very sick, I'm finally back! The calendar on the website has been updated. This week is Forms week so Wednesday at 7:30 is the day to mark on your calendar.


We'll be rolling into the Holiday season in just a few weeks, so get your classes in now. December graduation will be pretty early due to way Christmas falls this year.

Another reminder that October is Anti-Bullying Month...we teach our kids how to deal with bullies but its important for us as adults to realize just how devastating this can be for a child. Always take it seriously and always remind your child that bullies are only bullies if they give them that power.

Eleanor Roosevelt once said "No one can make you feel inferior without your consent". Don't give anyone your consent to make you feel inferior.

Everyone have a great week!

Ms Kris

Its summertime and we have lots of folks on vacation. We should start to see attendance pick back up on class in the next couple of weeks.

Everyone have a great week!

Ms. Kris

Upcoming News

I hope everyone had a safe and happy 4th of July.

Wanted to let everyone of a time change for forms on July 11th and 18th. The class will begin at 7:30p instead of 6:30p.

Also, Vivian Hall has been taking pictures for the last month or so of the school and of classes and has provided those to the school to post on our website. They have already been added to the website gallery (click the gallery link at the top of the page) and I'll be adding them to the albums on the facebook page later today. Viv is offering to sell copies and prints to our students and instructors. If you are interested in purchasing a copy (or copies) of any of the photos, please email me at kris@rkmartialsciences.com and I will provide the information.

Coming in August...We're waiting for confirmation from Master Ted but it looks like August 17-19th he will be back in Texas for another fun filled weekend with us! So mark your calendars!
 
Have a great weekend!
Ms. Kris

KFSS Graduation this Saturday (6/23)

Just wanted to remind everyone that graduation is this Saturday at 9:30a (doors open at 8:30a). The promotion list is on the white board in the workout area.  Even if you are not moving in rank, please join us as this will be the first graduation in our new facility.

As a reminder to the new folks...there will be no regular classes after graduation. Regular classes resume on Monday June 25th.

We have had some really good attendance over the last several weeks and its really good to see students returning we haven't seen in a while.

I hope everyone is enjoying their summer. Be safe out there!

Ms. Kris

New Schedule Starts Monday

I hope everyone had a great weekend! Just a reminder...our summer schedule starts on Monday June 4th. The two major changes are: There will be no 4:30 kids classes and the little kids class is moving to Monday at 5p. We have several instructors who are out for either all or part of the summer for various reasons. There are no changes to the adult class schedule.


There is a forms class THIS Wednesday June 6th at 6:30p.

Graduation is Saturday June 23rd at 9:30a. For those who are new, there will be NO regularly scheduled classes on Graduation day.

The summer heat is definitely here. So gi tops will be optional. We have a really good AC unit, so I will leave up to each individual and their comfort level. Full uniforms are required for graduation.

We have been asked by the merchants on either side of us NOT to park directly in front of their doors. On either side is fine, but not directly in front.

I think that's all for now, so everyone have a great week and we'll see you in class!

Memorial Day Holiday Schedule

Just a reminder for those who've been out of touch lately....This coming Saturday 5/26 we will have only 1 adult class at 10a and 1 kids class at 11:30 for ALL ages (little kids and big kids).

We will be closed Monday 5/28 in observance of the Memorial Day Holiday.

Take the time to remember why we have this holiday, enjoy your time off and be safe!

Ms. Kris

Open for Business!

We're finally ready for business!! We will hold our first class in our new location on Wednesday May 16th, Forms at 6:30p.

Then we return to our normal schedule on Thursday and Saturday.

Thank you so much for your patience! We look forward to seeing you in class!

If you have lost the new address it is 2831 Central Drive, Bedford, TX.

See you soon!

Kris

Tuesday Classes Cancelled

We finally got the inspection and provisional COO. The power won't be turned on until tomorrow however then we have to get TWO more inspections before we can open and conduct classes. SO, our first class will be Forms on Wednesday at 6:30, then we're back to our regular schedule.

Stay tuned for Memorial Day info.

We are truly sorry for the inconvenience. Nothing has really gone as planned. But the new place is really shaping up though!

See you Wednesday!

In case you need to reach us...until the power comes on the phone is dead....you can reach me at 817-312-8672.

Monday Classes

Well, we are 95% moved into the new school. We still have to have a certificate of occupancy to be able to hold classes (AND get our power turned on) which SHOULD happen on Monday along with one or two other repair items.

SO....What that means is we won't be able to hold classes on Monday. We should be back to our normal schedule on Tuesday.

Thank you SO much to everyone who showed up this morning to help us move in. We have the absolute BEST students and families!!

We look forward to seeing everyone back in class later this week.

We will have a FORMS class on Wednesday at 6:30.

Thank you again!

Ms. Kris

Moving in!!!

Moving in!!!

We've gotten the go ahead to move into the new facility this Saturday!! Yay!

If we start early, we should be done by noon. I'll meet everyone who can be there at 8a. Since we're literally moving next door...it shouldn't take us long.

We will resume our regular classes on Monday May 15th. We won't be making any schedule changes until school is out. So until the end of May we'll keep our same schedule. It's going to be really great to get into our new place!!

We look forward to seeing everyone next week!!!

Saturday Classes at Chisholm Park

As mentioned earlier in the week, we will be holding classes at Chisholm Park (Hurst, TX) this Saturday.  10a Adults, 11:30 Little Kids and Noon Kids.  I'm including a map of the park so you will know where to look for us (close to the basketball courts).  Parking is available close to where we will be.

Hope to see everyone there!

Saturday Classes in the Park

Master Robert and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who pitched in to help with the move. We could never have done it without you!

We are planning to hold class on Saturday May 5 at Chisholm Park (next to the tennis courts in the grassy area) in Bedford (weather permitting). We'll do 1 Adult class at 10a, little kids at 11:30 and kids class at noon.

Come comfortable. Wear your RKMSF t-shirts, shorts or jeans and comfortable shoes. We will have the mats.

It's a new beginning! We're excited to have you all be a part of it!

RKMSF Move to New Location

Our final week at 1325 Brown Trail.....

As some of you may already know...we've hit a snag in our move...during the asbestos inspection (done on the 17th) asbestos was found on the back of the floor tiles that were to be removed for the new flooring.  Because paperwork has to be filed and an abatement issued before the floor work can begin, our opening date will be delayed.

We will still be closing after our forms class on Wednesday 4/25 and be packing and moving 4/27-4/29, however we will not be able to open when we anticipated.  At this time I don't have a good date.  We will be storing out stuff in an adjacent unit at the new location until the work is complete.  Our contractor IS able to continue to do the other work so all that will need to be done once the abatement is received is the floor work, which won't take long.

It is my HOPE we can move into the new location by the 1st weekend in May, however it is more likely it will be the 2nd.

The landlords and I will be working out financial compensation for the delay in our business and I will be discounting May tuition 10%.

This was an unanticipated delay.  If we can figure out a way to hold a few classes while we are closed, I will let everyone know.

RKMSF has always had the very BEST students and we hope you will hang in there with us as we go through this move.

If you have any questions please contact me at 817-590-8585 or at kris@rkmartialsciences.com.

Winter KFSS Graduation

Good afternoon everyone!

It's been a while since I've sent any updates so I thought I'd catch everyone up on what's going on.

Next Forms class is Wednesday 3/21 at 6:30.  This isn't just forms, its about learning to apply what you learn through form in your fighting.  It's a wonderful class and I highly recommend it if you want to push your Kung Fu to the next level.

KFSS Graduation is Saturday March 24th at 9:30 am.  (Doors will open at 8:30...please arrive early to stretch)  The promotions list is posted in the lobby.  PLEASE check it to make sure I got everything right!  Any belt fees are due by 3/22.

As many of you know, we are planning to re-locate the school to a facility located at the corner of Harwood and Central Drive (only about 3 miles from our current location and closer to 121).  As work still needs to be done on the new location, we are looking at mid April to make the move.  As we make the move we will also be making some adjustments to the class schedule.  I will be talking with our parents and students over the next several weeks to see if the schedule we are proposing will be in sync with the majority of our student population.  This will be a good move for the school and we hope you will stick with us as we make the transition.  More to come on this as plans are finalized so stay tuned.

Exciting times are ahead for RK Martial Sciences!

See you in class!
Ms. Kris

Monday Classes

Just an FYI...There will be no 4:30/5:30 classes on Monday 2/20.  The 6:30/7:30 classes will be held as scheduled.


Thanks!
Ms. Kris

FORMS! Wednesday 2/15

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!
Ms. Kris

Forms! Forms! Forms!

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!
Ms. Kris

HAPPY 2012!!!

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
