We’re beginning the 2022/2023 year next month!
First training session will be: Monday, September 12, 2022 from 7PM-8:30PM
We are training at the same location as last year! The gym has transitioned to new owners and is listed under High River Fitness, located at 145 8 Avenue SE, High River, Alberta T1V 1R8, Canada
We are looking forward to seeing some returning faces, and hoping to see some new students – see you soon!
Last Saturday, March 26, Vulcan Tekka Karate Club and High River Karate Club members met at the 187 Foothills Air Cadets Squadron Hanger at the High River Airport for a Kata Tournament. Karate students competed for Gold, Silver, and Bronze in four divisions. Congratulations to everyone who participated!
A Special Thank You to:
Congratulations, Gillian, for achieving the rank of Nidan (2nd Degree) black belt!
Gillian has been a dedicated member of the club for the last 10 years and is always looking for ways to help others and make the club better. Since achieving her Shodan (1st Degree) black belt in 2015, she has continued training with the club and gaining experience in teaching new karate students and leading training classes when Robert is training with the Vulcan Tekka Karate Club.
Congratulations to our three new official yellow belts who successfully completed their first level grading on December 16th! Zack, Zack, and Trey, you guys did an awesome job – we could tell you’ve been working hard and training the house down. Well done!
We have closed down training sessions until the New Year, and will resume training on Monday, January 3, 2022 – same time, same place!
High River Fitness and Supplements – Upstairs
Monday and Thursday Nights – 7-8:30PM
New Members Welcome!
We are currently looking for a new place to train, as we are unable to train at Sheppard Family park. Effective Wednesday, October 20th 2021.
We will update this page as soon as we are able to find a new location for classes. Thank you for your patience and understanding!
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!
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!
After a relatively successful start training with the Vulcan Tekka Karate Club, High River Karate Club members can resume training in High River on Monday, November 2nd, 2020.
Location – Sheppard Family Park Munroe Barn – 1201 5 Street SE, High River, Alberta
Classes will start with training ONE day per week only, Monday nights, from 7PM – 8:30PM
Covid-19 protocols must be followed, similar to school and other facilities. If you are not able to comply with our requirements, you may be asked to leave. There are currently no spectators (including family members) allowed in the facility during classes. For the safety of everyone in the class, if you feel sick you must NOT come to class. Karate Alberta, which we are affiliated with, requires a Covid-19 waiver to be signed off as well prior to participating in classes. We will be maintaining physical distancing during class, which means warm-up, basics and kata only, no kumite (sparring).
Classes will be $30/month, running 7-8:30PM Monday nights only at the Sheppard Family Park Munroe Barn. Please contact Sensei Robert directly for more information.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again soon!
Training began in Vulcan for the Tekka Karate Club tonight, Monday, September 21st, at the Cultural Recreation Center (CRC) at 504 – 4th Ave S in Vulcan, AB. Classes run from 7 – 8:30PM on Monday and Wednesday evenings in Vulcan starting Monday, September 21st. If you would like to carpool, please contact Sensei Robert at 403-652-9397 to make arrangements.
Classes in High River will not begin until November 2020 due to availability of training space in High River and teaching resources.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and hope that you are able to join us in Vulcan with the Tekka Karate Club until we can see you again in November. Dates/Times/Location to be confirmed.
Hello Everyone!
We know you’ve been patiently waiting for news on return to training, and this is a brief update on progress at this point…
We are unable to use Spitzee School gymnasium this year, so location is yet to be confirmed. We will also be delaying start of training sessions until October 2020 for the High River Karate Club, official date TBD as well.
In the meantime, the Vulcan Tekka Karate Club is waiting for confirmation on location for training, planned to start in September. We will share locations/times when they become available, and hope that some of the High River Karate Club members are able to make it to Vulcan for training until we start up again in High River in October.
