Hello Karate Families - just a reminder on our class cancellation policy.

As a general rule, Shudo Kan Karate Club follows the same schedule as the Pleasant Plains school district for determining whether we will have class. If Pleasant Plains cancels, we will cancel as well.

We will notify you otherwise, either via Facebook post or a text, if we make a different determination.

Please see any teacher if you have any questions regarding this. Thanks!
