This is our way to say THANK YOU for being such amazing students!! We love having you at the school and appreciate the chance to share the Martial Arts with you and your family! We appreciate your patronage!

FALL CLASS SCHEDULE starts Monday Sept

The Fall CLASS schedule will start Monday September 12th following Belt Promotion.


For your convenience, the majority of the class times has not changed. With our vast new workout space students will have more room than ever!

These are the following adjustments:
- Saturday classes have each been bumped to 15 minutes earlier
- We have opened up the Mon/Wed 6pm class to now include Ban Bu's (this is a great option for those wanting to attend the BBC class right before. Ban Bu belts can attend either the 6pm or the 6:45pm class)


FYI
- after the Summer Break we have a ton of openings in our MORNING LITTLE NINJA class. With so many of our Ninjas attending school this fall, it's a great class for any of our Pre-schoolers.

What are your KIDS LEARNING THIS SUMMER????

Join us for 5 days of action packed classes where they can learn new forms, have fun with friends and even have the chance to EARN A NEW BELT!
Each year classes fill quickly and spaces are only available on a first come first serve basis. Be sure to reserve your spot today :) And when you take advantage of our early bird specials, Kamps start as low as $149* each! For 20 hours of training with World Champion leaders, that can't be beat!
We still have students begging to learn the EXCLUSIVE WEAPONS form the Kampers learned last year!
This course will feature specific training on their ground and stand up game. Great for kids who are a little nervous to interact and awesome for those who are wanting to take their sparring to the next level!
Who doesn't love showing off their Kicks & tricks?? We will help each Kamper fine tune their abilities and work on those awesome karate kicks they see in the movies!

You can grab your Kamp registration at the front desk or fill free to print off your copy right here:

SPRING CALENDAR starts April 4th

We are so excited about our upcoming new space but in the meantime wanted to offer additional classes to help accomodate more students. These new class times will give your child more attention to work on their curriculum. Please check which of them works best for you.

CHANGES to NOTE:
JR. BEG & INT - we have added two new classes Mon & Wed at 3:15
this is a great class for kids who have early out and is a nice way to get your karate time in and still leave plenty of time for Homework and a little play time after school.

BAN BU + and TEEN/ADULT - Mon & Wed 6:45
We want to give the Ban Bu and Black Belts some more specific training and will now offer a class at 6:45 with the Teens & Adults. We would encourage any Ban Bu and aboves (Jr's and adults) to come to this class time.

TEEN ADULT BBC - Mon & Wed 7:30pm
For all of our BBC & Masters Teen / Adults we've added a more convenient class time following the Mon & Wed class. It's an extra 15 minutes after class so that you don't need to worry about coming earlier in the afternoon. You are also welcome to come both days rather than 1 x week for this class.

BLACK BELT CLASS - Tues & Thurs 7:30pm
We are excited to now offer a Black Belt only class on Tuesdays & Thursday to help all of our Ban Bu's and above prepare for their upcoming tests. (If you are an adult underbelt and this is the only night that works for you, please talk with Justus for options).


If you have any questions about the schedule, please feel free to stop by the front desk.

REGIONAL TOURNAMENT of ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS!!!!!

or Regional Tournament representing Lindon, AF and Saratoga :)

It was epic and a lot of fun!

Energy was high, parents and kids a like left having a fantastic time, all in the spirit of Black Belt Excellence.

Announcing the 2011 Team Justus DEMO TEAM

Congratulations

In February we held tryouts for our 2011 Team Justus Demonstration team. They had some big shoes to feel following the award winning performances of our 2010 team. We are continually impressed at the talent and caliber of the students we have at our Studio. This year was one of the best tryouts yet! This years team has great potential. As members of the demo team, they receive exciting performance and Leadership opportunities as they share their Martial Arts skills in the community. Watch for them at upcoming Belt Promotions, Tournaments, Parades and assemblies. Some of our demo team members will even have a chance to compete at the Disneyland Tournament of Champions and march in Disney’s Main Street Parade. Way to go newest members! We look forward to seeing you show us what you’ve got!

SUPER GRANDS

Congratulations Justus
on your
7th World Title!!

The day after Christmas Head Instructor Justus Lawrence took off for the 20th Annual Super Grands International Karate Tournament in Sacramento, California.

Justus was thrilled to compete and watch the top Forms, Weapons and Sparring competitors from the 2010 NBL and NASKA karate tournament leagues!

(this is his final fight)

After numerous fights, Justus went into the Middle Weight Sparring finals undefeated and fought his toughest competitor of the season Josh May on the big stage. It was a tough fight which made winning all the better!



Super Grands is a tournament held once a year in different parts of the US. It is the crowning event of the NBL and NASKA Karate Tournaments and is an invitation only event. Competitors come from Europe, Mexico, Canada and America and are the top winners from various Regional and National Tournaments.
He was the oldest competitor to win a title in the 18 - 34 division this year. Justus earned his first title when he was 20 years old and has won his other Sparring titles on and off through the years (family life and a pretty cool Karate studio has made attendance sporadic).
If you would like to see some of his fights or pictures of his prizes, visit our Facebook page (Team Justus – Bobby Lawrence Karate LINDON).
Thank you to all the students who helped him train and were anxiously cheering him on! Justus's first love has and always will be teaching, so knowing he's got some awesome students back home, makes it that much sweeter!
Congratulations Justus!
