Youth Kumite Class and Teens Kumite Class formally joins the schedule for 2023 on Monday afternoons.
The dojo is pleased to announce that Kumite Classes for kids have formally been added to the schedule starting Monday, January 9, 2023.
Youth Division Kumite has already been a regular fixture on the schedule on Mondays at 4:15PM; Teen Kumite has been held experimentally several times during Fall 2022 to great success.
Youth Division Kumite
Youth Division Kumite is open to all students who hold an 8th Kyu (blue belt) rank or above. To join the kumite class, please see your instructor to get permission to attend; generally, you'll also have to meet with Sensei briefly.
All students taking part in the class are required to have appropriate safety equipment; the Front Desk has a good handout on the subject that details the equipment needed (all of it can be purchased at the dojo).
Youth Division Kumite will continue at its regular time of 4:15PM on Mondays. Students taking the class will start stretching with the 4:15PM Youth General Class, and then move to the Youth Kumite Class that is held at the same time as the General Class. At the end, at the discretion of the instructor, students will rejoin the General Class near the end of it.
Students in this class are reminded to wear all safety gear prior to the start of class (including prior to stretching), with the exception of any head gear, gloves (students should, however, have handwraps already on), and mouthguards.

Teen Division Kumite is also open to all students who hold an 8th Kyu (blue belt) rank or above. To join the kumite class, please see your instructor to get permission to attend; generally, you'll also have to meet with Sensei briefly.
