Welcome to the Fall 2025 Semester with Sensei Sean, Sensei Ashton, and Sensei David. Please be sure to read all information below, especially under "IMPORTANT NOTICE". That's where class changes will happen, homework, events, and other changes will be. The "GENERAL INFORMATION" portion has the weekly schedule for each location along with the address. Attached are some that may be needed. Not all forms need to be filled. Only if necessary. There is also a calendar attached. It includes locations, schedules, and events happening this semester, as well as testing dates and class ceremony which is the last day of class. Included in my signature are links to the ActivStars Athletics Website, Facebook Pages public and private (for karate parents only), Google Classroom, and our Website with the same information that is in the emails being sent out.
