RMAI NEWS UPDATE 9/28/26

Good afternoon,
I know it's been a little while since the last update, but I wanted to make sure I had new information to give everyone before putting this out. We have released the VIP dates, stripe week dates, and last remaining testing dates for the year 2026. Be sure to make a note of everything. There are a few minor schedule changes happening soon, and one planned schedule change to accommodate a shift in class size and disproportionate amount of high-ranking students versus beginner ranking students. One change will be effective immediately, the other change will take place after it is finalized and announced. If you have any constructive feedback, please send us a message. We want to make sure we can properly give each level of student the correct amount of instruction. If after the new schedule is released, you feel as though you need extra practice, or an adjustment for your time specifically send Master Celona an e-mail.

DODGEBALL NIGHT (Bring a NON-Karate Buddy)
This SATURDAY!!
A few years ago we hosted a dodgeball night and it was a BLAST!
We are bringing it back again to unwind after a busy few weeks of Back-to-School. 7 to 12 years old ONLY (don't want big teens throwing balls at smaller children). The only requirement is that everyone MUST bring a non-karate buddy. (Maybe we can get them to sign up and train with you) We will serve snack and drinks afterwards. Should be a great time! $10 to get in (to help pay for snacks)
Saturday October 3, 2026. 5-7pm
Everyone must register to attend.
