RK Martial Sciences & Fitness

We're almost through the first week of February! KFSS Graduation isn't far off, so please be sure you're getting you're classes in now!

There will be an instructor's meeting THIS Friday (2/5) at 7pm at the school. All instructor's and ID's are encouraged to attend. If you haven't had an opportunity to learn the new form, this is a good time to learn.

The weather has cold and rainy and it's hard to get motivated sometimes to come to class. Remember, when you move around during Kung Fu, your body is creating the endorphins to feel so much better during the dark rainy months. So if you're feeling a little down and lethargic...come to class!!!!=)

See you there!

We're halfway through the month of January! Today is a holiday for many schools. We will be open for classes as usual.

If you're like me...January is an insanely busy month! It's important to make time to train not only your body, but your mind as well. Stress can slow the bodies ability to heal and in some cases even cause illness. Make the time to de-stress your body and your mind...come to class! Stress can also cause one to miss key indications trouble is brewing. Its important to be able to focus on your surroundings in order to be safe. This is hard to do when you're mind is focused on something else.

See you in class!

It is the beginning of the new quarter. (Or rather last week was...) I think the weather kept many folks away from class, but we did have some brave souls who faced the sub-freezing temperatures to come to classes.

I'd like to encourage everyone to get your classes in early so you are not scrambling at the end of the quarter to get your classes in. KFSS Graduation will be March 27th and SNAP will be March 24th.

Its been a very cold start to winter and it will likely continue off and on for the next several months. Please make sure you keep your body flexible by warming up and stretching often.

See you in class!

The arctic front that has been predicted all week finally arrived! (And it brought a friend....how thoughtful....NOT!) Anyone who has been watching the news knows many school districts and roadways in the area are currently closed (7:25am) due to black ice conditions and frigid temperatures that are not expected to climb above freezing today.

The ice is expected to evaporate (not melt) due to the high winds by about mid morning. IF the road conditions are clear this afternoon, we will hold classes tonight. PLEASE CHECK THE WEBSITE after lunch today and before you head to the school tonight. Any updates to the website after noon may not send an email update until late tonite or in the morning. If you have any questions, please call 817-590-8585.

After speaking with Master Robert, we both agree we would rather ere on the side of caution. The snow is beginning to accumulate on the grass and roof tops in my area and as it is not likely to stop any time soon we feel the responsible thing to do is cancel class tonight.

The temperature is supposed to hover at or just above freezing and while the roadways may remain clear, the bridges and overpasses may begin to freeze.

We wish everyone a safe and happy New Year! We'll see you in class on Saturday January 2nd.

The winter SNAP quarter begins January 6th.

Can you believe it? It's almost 2010! I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas. I know mine was. A little harrowing on Christmas Eve (I hope everyone made it to your destinations safely). The first white Christmas (that stuck) in 83 years!

Speaking of the weather, we're due to have more of the white stuff tomorrow. The schedule for the school this week is:

Monday/Tuesday 5:30 Adults and 6:30 Kids classes
Closed Wed-Fri
Resume normal schedules on Saturday January 2nd.

In the event the weather makes driving treacherous tomorrow, we will not hold classes. As Master Robert is teaching on Tuesday, I will be in communication with him to determine if class will be held. If we cancel class I will post it on the website, however the email may not go out in time...PLEASE check the website for updates. YOUR safety is our utmost concern. I was one of the many who were traveling on Christmas Eve....it took all of my San Soo training to remain relaxed!

SO....what they say is really true...if you don't like the weather in Texas...stick around...it will change!

Master Robert and I wish everyone a very HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Be Safe,
Ms. Kris
