BUDDY WEEK COMING BACK - Have a friend join you in class for obstacle courses!

Buddy Week is back! Students in ALL classes are invited to bring a friend to class for free Monday, April 3 through Saturday, April 8th.

We will be running an obstacle course which is always a huge hit and tons of fun for everyone!

No need to schedule this or call ahead but all friends participating in class do need to have a signed liability form.

Please ask the parent to fill out our liability form online before coming to class.
 

SUMMERTIME & THE LIVING IS EASY - Summer 2017 at LK promises to be lots of fun!

WHAT CHANGES HAPPEN IN OUR CLASSES?
1. SUMMER FUN NINJA TRAINING

Each week during the months of June, July, and August, we will focus on one of these super-fun ninja activities:
 
  • Ninja Throwing Stars
  • Obstacle Course
  • Kung Fu Swords
  • Nunchakus
2. UNLIMITED SUMMER TRAINING IN JULY- Take as many classes in July for no extra charge!

Summer schedules are often more open than the school year and so it can be an amazing time for you or your child to take their training to the next level while providing them with extra activities during the summer months.

For the month of July, we invite ALL students to train as many times as they like for no additional fee and with our flexible schedule, you do not need to tell us in advance when you're coming!
2. SUMMER CAMPS 

For morning-time fun, our Life Ki-do camps are always a really big hit. We offer camps for ages 5-12.

All levels are welcome and campers do not need to be currently enrolled with Life Ki-do so siblings and friends can join in!
 
WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR MEMBERSHIP OVER THE SUMMER?
1. YOUR MEMBERSHIP 

As a reminder, your current membership is year-round including the summer months. Our class days/times don't change over the summer.
2. MOVING UP TO THE NEXT CLASS LEVEL

If your child is ready for the next class level, we will send/have sent you an email invitation and your child can begin their new class anytime 4 or more weeks after getting the email.

If you haven't seen an email by mid-May and believe your child is ready to move up, please contact Sensei Doug at
doug@lifekido.com.

In general, Little Dragons or Family Tigers entering kinder in the fall can move up to Power Ninja, Power Ninjas moving to 2nd grade can enter Samurai and Samurai entering 6th grade can move to the Teen/Adult class.
3. SUMMER FLEXIBLE SCHEDULE

We know that summer schedules vary, so we make it easy for you/your child to continue training over the summer with our Summer Flexible Schedule.

During June and July, you can switch days and/or attend make-up classes without having to call ahead or schedule it. Come when it works for you!

Aside from making up missed classes, please continue to attend the number of classes each week that you are signed up for.

Please note, we are no longer offering this in August due to how busy our back to school time gets. If you need make-ups or alternate days in August, just ask us!
4. FREEZE A MONTH

With this option, you pay $25/month for 1 student or $30/month per family instead of the regular monthly tuition for any combination of June, July and/or August to hold your spot in your class while you are out of town.

This ensures you will have a spot in the class of your choice and avoid our regular fall waiting lists.

A freeze also allows each student to attend one class during the frozen month when you are in town.

To request a freeze for 1 or more months, just click the link below.

Please note, the membership DOES automatically resume once the frozen month(s) is over.

While you can cancel for the summer with 30 day's notice, returning in the fall is then subject to class availability.

Out of town just a portion of a month? Remember you can attend make up classes 30 days before or after any missed class. 
SPRING FOCUS TOURNAMENTS - Last Tournament of the school year!

Don't miss the last tournament of the school year!

Our Samurai Tournament is scheduled for Sat, April 22nd from 4-6pm.

Our Life Ki-do tournaments give your child an opportunity to be challenged to deepen their ability to find their center, care for others, and do their best while being in a tournament environment. We often sell out, so register online or get more info
