  • Presidents’ day (A.K.A. Washington’s Birthday)

    Many of you may know the third Monday in February is Presidents’ day, but the more important fact about Presidents’ day is that the East Central Community Center is closed.
    This means that there will be no practice on Monday evening. Just do some pushups on your own and come Wednesday ready to workout hard!

  • Upcoming Tournaments

    Here are entry forms for a couple of upcoming tournaments.

    First, the Washington State Championships. This is on 2/27 and it is a requirement for the Senior Nationals.
    The entry form is here.

    Second, the Obukan tournament on 3/19. The entry form is here.

  • Return to our regularly scheduled practice

    Just a note to remind everyone that practice will be back on the normal schedule on Monday 1/25).
    I am really out of shape from the quiet week, I hope all of you aren’t.
    See everyone Monday.

  • Class next week

    Just some reminders about class next week.
    On Monday Jan. 18, the center is closed for the MLK holiday so we have no practice.
    On Wednesday Jan. 20, we have our women’s self defense class. The class is from 6:00-9:00. This means that our regularly scheduled practice won’t be held. We do need all our high school aged and adult members to come and help run the self defense class.

    We will be back on our normal schedule starting on Jan. 25.

    I just wanted to say that I appreciate everyone making it to class. Having all of you there makes practice the great experience it was this week.
