Upcoming class schedule changes

10/22/2024

We will have the following class schedule changes:

Saturday, 10/26 there will be no 11:00am classes because of the promotion test. Special for test day, all Mighty Lions are welcome in the 10:15am class which is normally for Advanced Mighty Lions.

Thursday 10/31 Halloween we will be on an abbreviated class schedule. Because we know the kids will all be out trick-or-treating. The only classes will be: 6:00 Adults & Juniors and 7:00 Black Belts.

Even though we have a shorter class schedule that day, we will be at the school for trick-or-treaters from 4:00 until 8:00pm. Come by and show off your costume!

Friday 11/1 and Saturday 11/2 there will be no classes because we are preparing for and hosting The 2024 US Masters Invitational Championship. The competition will be held at Mount Saint Dominic in Caldwell. If you don't want to compete (and run the risk of winning a sweet, sweet medal) we'd love it if you come by and cheer on your friends.
