April

Parent Feedback Day
Parents are invited to observe a class and give constructive feedback so that we can continue to evolve and improve.
Date: Tuesday April 5

Seventh Annual Harmony By Karate Classics
This year the HBK Classics will be held during regularly scheduled classes
and will run for a full week.

There are two aspects to the HBKClassics. The first aspect is for our students to demonstrate their karate skills and accomplishments through “randori”, a Japanese term which means “grasping freedom”. This freedom is expressed in freestyle
one-on-one sparring in which two karate players exchange technique by attacking
and evading. It is the ultimate expression of a student’s training.

The second aspect of our HBK Classics event is the idea of ‘giving to humanity’. Students are encouraged to appreciate what they have, and express that appreciation by doing something extraordinarily kind for someone in the world. Students will have the opportunity to share their personal experiences of ‘giving to humanity’
during the HBK Classics week.
Dates: Sunday 5/1, Tuesday 5/3 and Thursday 5/5
