October Fun!

Thank you to everyone who came out for the KFSS Summer Graduation on Saturday!  It was great to see all the new faces!

As we go into October here are some special details:

We're back to full uniforms (as of 9/26) so everyone get your gi tops out and dust them off.  We may have 1 or 2 more toasty days but they won't even be close to what we endured over the summer.

We look forward to seeing everyone in class as we start the Fall Quarter!

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!

Forms Cancelled

The Advanced Forms class scheduled for this evening has been cancelled due to scheduling conflicts with most of the class. =)  We'll reschedule for the 26th.

If you have emailed me in the last 10 days or so to kabates2005@sbcglobal.net and I haven't answered, it's not because I'm ignoring you!  I've had an issue with that account and cannot retrieve my email.  If you need to reach me, please use kris@rkmartialsciences.com or kabates2005@hotmail.com . 

Everyone stay cool!

Forms! Forms! Forms!

Aaaaaaand we're back!  This Friday (July 29th) we'll restart the Advanced Forms class at 7pm.  We're still locking down August dates and I will confirm once we they are available.

Remember...the criteria for attending the Advanced Forms class is knowing the current class form. 

In other news....

Its already been a LONG HOT Summer and it doesn't look like this is going to change anytime soon.  We'd like to ask you to help keep the school cool, by not standing with the front door open.  The good news?  The A/C is keeping up! 

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!
Ms. Kris

3rd Quarter for KFSS begins!

Thank you to everyone who came out for graduation!  You made it a really good time!

Just a few updates:

July 4th Weekend - On Saturday July 2nd, there will be only 1 Adult Class from 9-11 and then we will have the kids class from 11:30-12:30.  WE WILL BE CLOSED MONDAY JULY 4TH.  There will be no classes.  Classes will resume on Tuesday July 5th.

Looking ahead...Mark you calendars now....Master Ted returns October 7-9th!!!  If you are new and haven't met or worked with Master Ted...you are in for a treat!!  So mark your calendars NOW!!!

According to everything I've been reading and hearing, the Texas heat is going to be around for quite some time, so make sure you stay hydrated during any kind of physical activity...that includes Kung Fu! 

Stay Cool!
