Spring Quarter Begins Today (3/28)

A special THANK YOU to everyone who came out and made this graduation so special.  It was a great event and I know those who were promoted appreciate your attendance.  Congratulations MASTER Harry Weekly!!!!
Belt stripes will be given out this week in class.

Our next event is April 16/17th at the Fort Worth Japanese Festival.  I'm still waiting on performance times from the festival coordinator.  I'll keep you posted.

April 30th 1-5p RKMSF 1st Annual School Picnic - We invite all current and former students to come out and join us in some fun and frivolity at the Tejas Pavilion, Chisholm Part (Hurst, TX).  Remember, the school will provide Hot Dogs and Hamburgers (buns and condiments).  Please bring your favorite side dish and drinks.  It will be a great party and we're looking forward to seeing everyone there!

That's all for now!  See everyone in class!

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.
