Hey everyone,
First of all, thanks for a great second class on Monday. We had three
newcomers (welcome!) and continued with the basics of karate. Thanks
to a generous donation by Sensei Josh Martin (who is taking an absence
from the club because of a new member in the family), the club has
acquired some various punching/kicking pads, so we were able to apply
what we've learned to a real, physical target, and see how it feels.
To my surprise, everyone stuck around for the advanced section of the
class, where we practiced some sliding techniques. All in all, I was
very happy with how everyone applied themselves to their practice, and
left feeling very excited about the club!
Now, about that subject line... it's our "karate kickback" program. If
you register for the quarter, and you get a friend to sign up for the
quarter (and let us know!), you'll get $10 off your next quarter's
fees. How exactly this is going to happen this year shall be figured
out soon (we're going to contact OPERS this week). But we'll make it
happen. So, bring your friends! Three referrals and the quarter's
free!
If you haven't registered yet, you can do so at
http://www.ucscrecreation.com/catalog/?offering=698 or at the OPERS
Recreation Office, 2nd floor of the East Field house (cash and check
are fine in the office). We can't take your money since it goes to
OPERS. But we can use it for club activites... like after-class food,
or even a club karate party at some point! Stay tuned.
Hope to see you next week! Remember, it's not too late to join!
Osu,
Kyle & Luke Abbott
