For the Jinbukai event, I still need more volunteers to help and
black belts who are willing to help and judge.  Currently, I have
1...ONLY ONE person to help!... come on guys, spare 1 or 2 hours to
help us out.  We can't let our sister club, Goulding to do
everything.  As for competitors, I am expecting most of you guys
joining especially the ones grading on May 30th.  Please let me know
what divison and activity you are going in(Kata/Kumite) and pay me
the money($10).  If not, Adam and I will find you. :)

Thanks everyone and please email me if you have any questions
regarding these two events.

Regards,
Jimmy Yuk
UTKC Tournament Director 2008-2009

Hi everyone,

The Athletic Centre will be closed this Monday May 19th due to the
Victoria Day holiday. Class is thus canceled on this day as well.

Hey UTKC Members,

This is your friendly tournament director here to remind you about
two very special karate events.  Sorry for the long email in advance.

1st Event:

On June 8th, there will be a Toronto Open 3 Karate tournament by
Karate Ontario at Humber College (205 Humber College Blvd).  It is 40
dollars for all belts including black and the rules are the same for
any KO tournament.  The interesting aspect about this competition is
that anyone can join even if the club is not registered by KO.   If
you would like to compete please refer to the application package
(link below) and give me your form and MONEY (very important ;p) by
May 24th.

The link is:
http://www.karateontario.org/website/downloads/Toronto_Open_3_Package.pdf

2nd Event:

On June 14th, it will be our annual Jinbukai tournament with our
sister club, Goulding.  This is a tournament that I believe everyone
should participate in as it is hosted by us and would be
disappointing if only a few of us compete.  If you have been
practicing with us for the past two terms (all levels including
black) and especially the ones going for grading near the end of the
month, it is a great opportunity to show off those skills.  It will
be 10 dollars to compete and I promise you that my other co-director,
Adam and I will be bugging everyone in class to ask which activity
you are competing in (Kata, Kumite or both).

In addition to this, we are also selling baked goods or other edible
items for this tournament.  This is a great way to increase our funds
in the club which helps keep the cost of activities like training
camps low.

For this event, I REALLY NEED volunteers to help out during the
competition especially for the selling and baking.  If you can help
out, please email me or Adam as soon as possible so I can start
emailing our partners at Goulding.

Thanks everyone and please email me if you have any questions
regarding these two events. :)

Regards,
Jimmy Yuk

Hey Everyone!

So the venue for John's farewell dinner will be at 7pm at Spring Rolls Restaurant (Yonge & Dundas; 40 Dundas St. W @ Yonge).

For those who are driving, there is free parking in the Atrium on Bay St.

For those being green, the restaurant is on the North West side.

If you haven't RSVP but would still like to come, please email me so I give the restaurant the correct number of people that will be attending.

I've put the reservation under UTKC.

See you all there! :)

Hey Everyone,

This is your new co-Tournament director reporting in and just wanted
to let you guys know the results of the Iwata cup 2008 at the
Etobicoke stadium today.

The people that competed today were Elaine, Moyo, Adam, Jimmy and
Josephine.

Men's Novice Kata (12 competitors)

Jimmy-Silver
Adam-Bronze

Women's team Black Belt Kata(5 teams)

Josephine-Silver

Everyone did amazing today and showed their karate spirit and
support for each other.  Moyo and Elaine did really well competing
against blacks belts that competed in the nationals and worlds.

To Johnny: I am now very sympathetic to the kick you had in the
chest in the last KO since I got winded today from a roundhouse to
the ribs.  It does sting quite a bit. ;p

Either way, good job everyone again and hope to see everyone in
class!

Regards,
Jimmy

Hi everyone!

 
As some of you may or may not know, John McEwen will be leaving for Calgary in less than a month. We will be hosting a farewell party for him on Tuesday May 13 (place and time to be determined).

It would be great to get the whole club (especially the senior members) together to give him a proper send off! If you could please RSVP to dorothy-yu@... by May 3, so we can get a feel of how many people will be able to attend.

 
Thanks.

Hi everyone,

Thank you to all who came out for Spring Camp. Everyone played a role
in making it such a great weekend and certainly in making the
organizing easier on me.

To all the meal captains, the meals were awesome and I can't remember
the last time I had so many great meals in the span of two days.

To all the drivers, thank you for volunteering and driving everyone. I
know some of us had some late-night adventures in the fog trying to
find our way to Hart House Farm.

To everyone, thank you for being there and making it such a wonderful
experience.

Peter

Hey all,

Sorry for sending this to everyone, however this only applies to
Novice Men (White to Orange belt).

I'm interested in doing Team Kata at the Shitoryu Iwata Cup tournament
that Moyo sent out an email about.

I think it would be a good opportunity to work on our Katas and this
tournament seems like a perfect place to start since (according to the
tournament website) Bunkai is not required, which means all that we'd
need to work on is form and synchronization.

If anyone is interested in doing this send me an email ASAP so I can
get Moyo to enter us.


Adam

Hello everyone, there is a tournament on Sunday April 27th, at the
Etobicoke Olympium called the Shitoryu Iwata Cup and it is open to all
ranks.  I know I am not the tournament director, however, this is not
your run of the mill Karate Ontario Tournament, and I have the
registration forms.  Therefore, if you wish to participate, send me
your full name, rank and weight class (if you are a black belt who
wishes to do kumite).  I will sign you up and pay everyone's fees
using one cheque.  You can then reimburse me when next I see you.  The
cost is $35.00 (if payment is made before April 14th).  I want to send
the sign-ups and money tomorrow afternoon if possible, because I am
going out of town this Saturday and will not be back for a week at
which time the deadline for the discount will have passed.  So if you
want to participate in this tournament, e-mail me ASAP.  For more
tournament details, visit the link below.

Hi everyone,
