Power Karate Kids did an Outstanding Job!
This coming Wednesday, Feb 28th is being recognized as Pink Shirt Day, a day dedicated to raising awareness about anti-bullying. The hope is to send a positive message that bullying, including cyber-bullying isn’t acceptable and won’t be tolerated.
​
Power Karate is based on the precepts of Respect, Confidence and Power, and on Feb 28th our karate students are encouraged to wear their pink shirts to class as a show of solidarity against all forms of bullying.
​
Students can wear their pink shirts, along with their belts and Gi bottoms if they like.

Congratulations to Harrison Luff for winning the "Karate Inspires Us" Activity!
Harrison did a presentation using several different liquids to demonstrate how our minds can become busy and congested, and he then added more solution to show how breathing can help us become calm and clear our minds again. It was an excellent demonstration and Harrison's Dojo-mates loved it!
​
Well done, Harrison! Oss!
​
Thank you to everyone who submitted Arts or Letters for this Activity. They were all superb!
