Happy New Year from Sensei Watanabe

Hello dear friends and colleagues,

I hope you are all doing very well and have nice projects on this very special time of the year. Few words to let you know that I have had the great pleasure and honor to speak to Watanabe Sensei on december 24th. Sensei was doing fine after a safe and good journey back to Fukuoka. He has nearly completely recuperated of the jetlag.

The weather in Kukuoka was not too cold but humidity is all around. He hopes to be able to visit his Sensei around the end of the month. You may remember that he was not able to do so last year for his sensei was very sick and was in hospital and did refuse.  

Sensei is quite busy and the day I spoke to him, he had a supper planned with former karateka colleagues. Sensei asked me to send to all of you his best regards and good wishes for a Happy New Year !!!

I will send you other news and updates following my next call to Sensei ¨ to all of you my good friends and karateka colleagues. To those who will train on January 1st, I say  ''See you then''. To the others I  say ''

See you very  soon ''
Very truly yours, HAI

New Start, New Rates

Hello fellow Karatekas,
 
As some of you are already aware we are well on our way to establish a permanent dojo. Sensei has been very involved to get a permit and we are almost there. As for the Co-op system that has worked wonderfully thanks to all the members, simply said, it is because of your participation that the Montreal Karate Club has survived. However, the Co-op contribution has expired so we will need to reassess our financial needs. We will be returning to our system were Sensei will be heading the school and therefore he will be in charge of collecting the fees. Please find attached the rate sheet that was introduced a while back but never implemented. These are the ongoing rates.
 




After verifying with Sensei, the single course rate will remain at $10.00. Please make sure you pay prior to the course and no “next times” will be accepted.
Thank you, see you all soon.
 
George
