Scarlet Dragon Demo at the KW Multicultural Festival

Kitchener Kicks is a proud supporter of the diverse community in the Kitchener-Waterloo area, and once again showed their support by performing at the Multicultural Festival held in Victoria Park this past weekend. It was a beautiful hot and sunny day as the team took the stage and wowed the crowd. They definitely earned themselves one of those massive freshly squeezed lemonades! Fantastic job once again Scarlet Dragons!!

Scarlet Dragon Demo at the World Partnership Walk

The Scarlet Dragon demo team performed at the World Partnership Walk this past weekend, giving the audience a taste of what we learn and do at Kitchener Kicks. The sun was shining and the crowd was cheering as the team took to the stage and put on an amazing performance. The crowd grew as the performance went on and so did the applause from the crowd.

Great job team!

Kung-fu Novice Grading, June 1st

This weekend held another novice belt grading where the students were tested on what they had learned so far in their martial arts journey, and to see if they were ready to take the next step. They all came prepared and worked very hard and in the end were rewarded with new belts/sashes. Congratulations everyone!!

A special mention goes out to our father and son team, Peter and Adam, who celebrated both getting new yellow sashes and both their birthdays all on the same day.

We'd also like to congratulate our two Dragon Hearts on their new belts.

June is a busy month for gradings, next up is the Karate grading and then the Kickboxing grading. Good luck to all those preparing!

From from Barrie to Georgetown

May was a busy month for Kitchener Kicks and the Scarlet Dragons. After a successful Karate Maynia, the Dragons headed to Barrie the next weekend for the Bushido Open hosted by RMA. Everyone did very well and made us proud.

This past weekend took the team to Georgetown for the Crispin Super Shiai bringing home a lot of hardware, making us wonder where to put them all... Congrats Team!

Karate Kung-Fu Maynia - May the 4th be with you!

Kitchener Kicks held their annual Ron Day Memorial tournament, Karate Kung-Fu Maynia, on May 4th this year. It was an incredible day and success as we welcomed our largest turnout ever to Conestoga College. With the big trophies looming in the background there was a great energy in the air and the competition was fierce.

It was great to see so many Kitchener Kicks students at the tournament, especially those competing in their first one! We'd like to thank all of our competitors and all their families who made the tournament such a success. We'd also like to thank all the volunteers, without whom the day would not have happened.

We are already working on next year's tournament and have some great changes in store. See you in 2014!

 

 

Mississauga Martial Arts Open, April 21 2013

Sunday brought not only a kickboxing grading but a tournament for two of the Scarlet Dragons in Mississauga. The site was a club in Mississauga and was crowded with the large number of competitors. Josh P and Cameron C were the only ones representing our club, and represent they did.

Cameron Placed 2nd in weapons, 2nd in forms, and a 3rd in sparring. Josh placed 1st in weapons, 4th in forms and a 5th in sparring.

The first place finish allowed Josh to compete for the 16 and under all belts Grand Champion. He was competing against 2 brown, 1 blue, 2 green and a yellow belt. His nerves where calmed with a little coaching and some inner focus. Josh put on the performance of his martial arts career and proved that technique and dedication would earn him top marks and see him presented as the 16 and under all belt Grand Champion. Congratulations to both for their strong showing!

Kickboxing Grading, April 21 2013

A grueling Sunday was on tap for several of our Kickboxers. 12 entered, and 12 were pushed to the brink and beyond. Sweat mixed with tears and bag work, combinations, and push ups as everyone pushed their minds, bodies and spirits to attain their next belt on their journey up the ranks.

Of those grading, 5 students were working to attain higher belts, so as the novices finished their grading, the others were in store for more!!
