No Karate Until Jan 4, 2021
As everyone is now likely aware, we will not be able to continue in-person training for the next few weeks due to rising Covid-19 cases and Alberta Health Services restrictions on in-person group fitness classes.
We would normally shut down in the middle of December for the Christmas break anyway, so we are hoping that we will be able to start training again tentatively on Monday, JANUARY 4th, 2021.
Please check back regularly – this tentative start date depends on AHS restrictions.
Stay safe, and have a great holiday! Keep training and see you in the New Year!
Nov 23 Class Cancelled
Due to Covid-19 restrictions, and to protect the health of our club members, we are cancelling our Nov 23,2020 class to allow a 2 week re-set. Please note that the duration of the restrictions on in-person classes may be extended due to Provincial health requirements. We will be in contact with club members to update you on class schedules and when we will resume (tentatively Monday November 30th). Stay Safe and keep training!
