Soke Cup Competition and Opening Ceremony

Dear Parents and Students,

I am proud and exciting to remind you that it is next week, Aug 15 and 16, 2013 that we are hosting the Soke Cup, the international Chito Ryu Karate Championship.  You, being an important person in this organization, you sure want to participate in this event regardless you are competing or not.

I would like invite all of you to attend the opening ceremony on Aug 15, next Thursday.  Please show up at 9:00 am or before in the morning at:

The Main Arena,
Sun Yat Sen Memorial Park Sports Center,
18 Eastern Street North,
Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong.

For students, please bring your full set of karate uniform, including your pants and belt.  Make sure they are clean.

I would also like a few parents who can help with leading and organizing our Hong Kong students in the opening ceremony.  There will be someone in-charge of the opening ceremony telling you what to do.

After the ceremony, please stay and enjoy the competition.  You can learn a lot by watching others, cheer those competitors who put on a great performance and make new overseas friends.

There is one important thing you all must know and remember.  I will be super busy on that day.  Please DO NOT come to me unless there is a serious issue about the operation of the event or something extremely urgent.  However, you are welcomed to send me text and Whatsapp messages.

Thank you very much for your support from all these years.  You have all contributed to the success of the Soke Cup in Hong Kong.  See you in next week in Soke Cup.

Regards,
Heyton

Goodbye to our karate studio. Hello to our new one!!!

Dear Parents and Students,

I will return our current karate studio to the owner on Aug 21, 2013, Wednesday.  Which means after Soke Cup, there will NOT be karate in our current studio anymore.

For your information, our new karate studio will be at:

Unit A&B, 18/F,
Prosperous Commercial Building,
54-58 Jardine's Bazaar,
Causeway Bay, Hong Kong

The new place needed to be re-structured and decorated.  I expect it will be ready at the end of September 2013.  So after Aug 21, we will be having karate in some temporarily venues and the timing will also be different.

Thank you.

Regards,
Heyton

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

Karate at Kellett is all over for this year.  Students were learning more self defense moves today.  Every lesson, they are learning something more complicated.  Please have a look at their work.  

If you have time, please come and train in my studio this week.  I have a lot I like to teach the kids.  

Have a wonderful Christmas and Happy New Year.
