We hope everyone had a wonderful summer.

Classes start Wednesday, September 9 at 7:00 p.m.

Also, this year we are going to train twice per week, Wednesday and Fridays from 7:00 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

We will no longer be operating a Sunday class.

See you next week!

It is that time of year again to consider attending the annual Oshawa Wado Kai Children's Invitational Tournament on December 13, 2014.

The tournament will be held from 1:00 to 4:00 p.m. at the YWCA Centre, 1 McGrigor Street, Oshawa, ON.

For the second year, Oshawa is using an online registration that you can go to by clicking here.

All participants must complete the online form, print a copy and bring it with you to the tournament. Waivers must be signed by a parent or guardian.

The tournament will only accept pre-registered participants. If you’re interested in attending, the deadline is December 1, 2014, but if you have not yet submitted your registration, please do so as soon as possible. Ensure that a copy of the registration is printed, signed by a parent or guardian, and brought to the registration desk at the tournament on December 13, 2014.

We are once again offering a super duper Raffle table. The monies garnered by the raffle get put back into the Oshawa Whitby club to help offset costs that arise from time to time. This includes registration fees and the cost of purchasing a gi for any students who require this particular assistance.

Hot dogs, soft drinks and water will be available to purchase at the tournament.

In support of the YWCA, we will accept a non-perishable food item or new toy.

If you have any questions, please ask Sensei Eric or Sensei Julie at class, or call us at 416-410-3273.

Thanks to everyone who competed at the Toronto Wado-Kai fall tournament in Thornhill this past weekend. It was a great tournament and it’s always gratifying to see our students compete and do well.

So thank you Eric, Riley, Kymara, Kieran, Kimberley and Margaret (pictured here with her first-place trophy for kata).

The next tournament is the Oshawa junior tournament (which will be held in a few weeks).

After that, the next tournament is in Thornhill at the end of February.
