Reminder -
No Class next Saturday, June 6th.

In this week’s email; there is a link to the Kata we filmed at class. Files now include:
Heian Nidan
Heian Sandan
Heian Yondan
Heian Godan

Thinking about our club grading on June 20th. Most of the Heian kata take about 1 min to perform.
If you did your Kata for 5 min each day; you’ll complete 190 repetitions before your exam.
Just sayin’
