Weather Alert  

AIR QUALITY ALERT IN EFFECT FROM 11 AM TO 11 PM EDT MONDAY The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation has issued an Air Quality Health Advisory for the following counties: New York, Bronx, Kings, Queens, Richmond, Nassau, Suffolk, Westchester, Rockland, Orange, Putnam. from 11 AM to 11 PM EDT Sunday. Air quality levels in outdoor air are predicted to be greater than an Air Quality Index value of 100 for the pollutant of Ground Level Ozone. The Air Quality Index, or AQI, was created as an easy way to correlate levels of different pollutants to one scale. The higher the AQI value, the greater the health concern. When pollution levels are elevated, the New York State Department of Health recommends that individuals consider limiting strenuous outdoor physical activity to reduce the risk of adverse health effects. People who may be especially sensitive to the effects of elevated levels of pollutants include the very young, and those with preexisting respiratory problems such as asthma or heart disease. Those with symptoms should consider consulting their personal physician. A toll free air quality hotline has been established so New York residents can stay informed on the air quality situation. The toll free number is 1 800 5 3 5, 1 3 4 5.

This is the Time of the year on The East Coast that most Karate Tournaments are held. Karate Tournaments are important to most Martial Arts students. Some go and compete in these events to win prizes cash or trophies. My students attend , signup and compete for a very different reason. They measure and demonstrate the skills they learn and practice in everyday Karate Class. They compete against other Karate Students from other schools and styles. This is a great way to grow and measure your skills at the highest level.

At my tournament I stress participation over competition. I believe you are a "Winner" for giving your BEST EFFORT.
I have a event for new students who have never competed and are learning new karate skills. The event is called Demonstration. where all students who apply get a winners award.
