We are hard at work getting the Online Instruction site up and running. Please check back here on Saturday for more information. Osu!

Osu and good afternoon students and parents.

I’m sure you all have been following the news about COVID-19 and the precautions we have taken to address the issue in our dojo. Today, Governor Hogan declared that starting Monday, March 16, all public schools in Maryland will be closed through Friday, March 27. 

We will follow the same guidance: We will still have classes on Thursday and Friday, but then starting Saturday, March 14th the dojo will be closed until at least March 27. 

We want you to be ready to pick up your training as soon as the dojo opens again. So please continue to work on your material at home:

• Review your terminology and techniques,
• Practice your self-defense and katas
• Work on your conditioning.

We are currently working on a means of offering online instruction, in lieu of classes. As soon as we come up with a solution, we will let you know about this program and how to access it.

Thank you for your patience and we hope that you, your family, friends and community remain in good health. We look forward to seeing you back in the dojo as soon as that is possible and safe.

Take care and be well.

Jun Shihan Karen and the Staff at Kells Karate Academy
