As an update to the October newsletter, there are a few items that need your attention:
NEW CLASS SCHEDULE
· The new expanded schedule will begin the first of November.
¨ There will be one extra class, intended for true beginners and juniors age 6~10.
¨ Sensei reserves the right to remain flexible in the designation of the two middle classes to better respond to changes in attendance and level of the students.
· Here’s how the new schedule will look:
Monday and Thursday
5.30-6.00 pm 3-6 year olds
6.00-6.45 pm Beginners (all ages) and 6~10 year olds
6.30-6.45 pm randori competition team
6.45-7.45 pm More Advanced ages 10- adult
7.45-8.00 pm drills open to more advanced
7.45-9.00 pm Advanced Adults 16 and older
Friday or Saturday
Extra workout, Competition Team only. Times to be announced.
“More Advanced” is considered two months or more of instruction.
DRILL SESSIONS
· Already some students have told me they wanted to be on the list to take part in special ‘Drill Sessions’ and after that to try out for the competition team.
· The Drill Sessions will take place during the first 15-20 minutes of the Monday and Thursday adult class.
· Everyone considered More Advanced may participate.
COMPETITION TEAM
· From the Drill Sessions group, people with sufficient fall break and basic skills will be selected to be part of the competition team.
· This group will have extra mat time on Monday and Thursday for randori: 6.30-6.45 pm.
· They will also have one extra workout a week, either on Friday evening or on Saturday morning where they will be coached in competition skills.
· Only those with the best attendance record and attitude will be accepted.
· There will be a $10 a month fee for these extra classes.
SELF-DEFENSE JUDO
· One class this October will be a self-defense judo instruction taught by Greg DiFranza. Check out Greg's company, Win First International. Greg is a 20+ year veteran police officer, and now trains law enforcement all over the world in survival tactics during violent confrontations. We’ll enjoy this special class once a month. Make sure not to miss it!
