May 25: IDSL is in Lac du Bonnet!

Posted on May 5, 2013 by Sempai Jill

Round #4 of the Inter-Dojo Shotokan League of Manitoba is coming up soon!

Fun Competition For Shotokan Brown And Black Belts

With head-to-head kata matches and two-point rounds of freestyle kumite, the IDSL is an excellent way for brown and black belt students to challenge themselves and improve their skills.

Competitors from all Shotokan style dojos are invited, no matter who they are affilliated with.  So, if you have a friend who is brown belt or higher and trains Shotokan with another club, be sure to invite them to join!

Volunteers and spectators welcome! Come support the IDSL and Sensei Phil’s efforts to bring the community together in a fun way.

June 1: Kyu Testing & Mock Dan Tests

Posted on May 10, 2013 by Sempai Jill

Sensei Ron has recently announced the next testing date for Charleswood Karate students!

CK Testing Panel

CK Testing Panel

  • Date:  June 1, 2013
  • Location:  To be confirmed

A sign up sheet is available at the dojo, sign up if you’re interested in testing!

Are You Planning To Test?

If you are testing for a colored belt, check with Sensei Ron to see if you’re ready to test.

If you’re a brown belt testing for a higher level, Sensei Ron has recently began to require you telling HIM what you need to do for your testing, instead of turning to him to decide if you’re ready.

Those looking to test for a Dan level over the next while are invited to participate in a “mock black belt testing” for their level.  Talk with Sensei Ron for more info.

Instructors and black belts of all ages are invited to assist during both the pre-testing class and during the testing itself.
