Oss Everyone!

Hanshi Lyle here.

First, I would like to say thank you for all the support and love you have shown Kaicho throughout the years and especially in this last week leading up to his retirement. It was a wonderful example of the respect and positive attitude that makes our dojo so special. Moving forward, I am looking forward to continuing in the same tradition. Class schedules and belt requirements will remain the same for the time being.

As you may guess, it takes a little time to make the changeover behind the desk and we should have everything back up and running by the end of this week. So, thank you for your patience. Soki Suzanne will continue to run the paperwork and payment side of things and for the time being, the name of our dojo, phone number, email address, and wifi password will remain the same. Previous payments and contracts will also be honored.

For new payments, we are available to take payments by cash and check immediately. If paying by check, please make payment to the order of North End Karate Llc. If using a credit card, we are currently able to send you an invoice through our payment system, Talech, that you can pay online, however, in person credit card payments will need to wait until our replacement card reader arrives on Wednesday, June 4. Again, thank you for your patience and understanding.

Some other notes: June 1st dojo T-shirts may be worn instead of uniform top, but remember that if you are taking your belt test you need to wear the uniform top.

Next promotion test is on Friday June 6th at 5:00pm. If you are planning to test please put your name on the sign-up sheet by the front door. This is important so that the instructors can give you extra attention. Also remember, if you are going up that you are welcome to come in as much as you wish the week before the test to be sure to show your best for the test! Remember to bring your sparring gear and to have your partner lined up.

I look forward to an exciting future with each and every one of you!
