Attention Orange Belts

            As an orange belt, please be aware that one of the requirements to be able to test for your blue belt is that you have to be sparring in class. Thus, you need safety gear. Minimum sparring equipment consists of head, hand and foot gear along with a mouthpiece. Shin guards are also highly recommended. One of the benefits of joining the Black Belt Club is that you receive all of this safety equipment along with much, much more in your Black Belt Club package. If you have received an invitation to join the Black Belt Club, but you have not made an appointment to discuss joining with Mr. Taylor yet, please simply contact the school office. It is at least worth talking about. We look forward to hearing from you.


Monthly Tuition Payments May Be Made Online!

Bushido students or their parents may make their monthly tuition payment early, pay in advance or pay off their account in full at www.efconlinepayments.com. You would need to know your account number in order to do this. You may get your account number from the Karate school office.



New Cardio Kickboxing Class Times at Business Campus Dr.

            Morning cardio kickboxing classes are now available at our Business Campus Dr. location on Tuesday mornings at 9:00am. Anyone interested in trying the class, please let us know, and we will schedule a FREE trial class for you! This is an adult only class. Adult Leadership Team members, and parents of junior Leadership Team members may attend these classes.



Bad Weather Policy

            Anytime you are not sure whether the Karate School will be open or not due to the weather, please simply call the school to find out. There will either be someone there to answer your questions, or there will be a very clear message on the answering machine stating that we will be closed due to ice or snowy conditions. Just because schools may be closed, doesn’t necessarily mean the Karate school will be closed.


Aspiring Filmmakers Wanted

            Are you an aspiring filmmaker? If so, we have a contest for you. Make a 30 second film about the Bushido School of Karate and turn it in to us by Feb. 27th. Be as creative as you want. We are looking for short films, which describe the value of participating in martial arts at the Bushido School of Karate. Your film can feature demonstrations, interviews, karate class footage….whatever it takes to get your point across. Feel free to film at the school, outside the school or at home, it’s up to you, the filmmaker. A committee will be created to judge the films. The winner of the best short film will win a $100 gift card. We will need at least 10 entries in order to hold the contest. All of the entries will be shown at the Bushido School of Karate Film Festival (date to be announced), and the winner of the contest will receive a $100 gift card. If you have any questions about the film contest, please contact Mr. Taylor or email him at bushido96@aol.com . Please email videos to bushido96@aol.com .
