Nashwaaksis Field House:
- Summer classes were held at the Nashwaaksis Fieldhouse and they were very successful. The field house has a gym, weight room, and a track so it was nicely suited to karate training. Some of the instructors will likely be training there off and on during the year in addition to regular training at the dojo. Since it's such a good deal we figured that we would mention it. Membership at the Fieldhouse is $25/year or pay the drop-in fee ($3).
- Karate uniforms may be purchased through the club for around $60 each.
- Gradings are held twice a year, or at the sensei's invitation. The charge to test is $50. There is no charge for re-tests.
