NEW OPEN HOUSE AT BKA DOJO — September 7th, 2024
This year, the first class at BKA for beginners will function as an open house! The dojo doors will open at 9:15AM. We will be available for a meet and greet with parents/kids, and to answer any questions you or your kids may have.
From 9:30AM-10:30AM* we will run our open house session at the dojo, giving kids an opportunity to try out the different elements of a karate class and get a feel for our program. Parents are welcome to participate during the open house session too!
White Stripes are welcome to train during this class, and welcome their new club mates.
*Note: After the open house, the white/white stripe intro classes will be the standard 90 minutes, running from 9:00AM-10:30AM.
