Congratulations to our Newest Black Belts

A long overdue congratulations to Soaring Crane's newest inductees to the Black Belt family!

Same Barman and Chris Ware worked extremely hard during their test but neither gave up and they persevered.  Congratulations to both of you!

Holiday Sale!

From now until December 15, be sure to take a look in the catalog that is on the front desk.  All products in the catalog will be on sale for 25% off the catalog price!  Many items I have to order so please get your orders in early so we can have them in time for Christmas.  I will likely order all items on the 15^th so I can have them prior to next weekend, so don’t hesitate!

Christmas Week Closing

Hello Soaring Crane Students!

I just wanted to remind all of our students that we will be closed for Christmas Week as we are every year.  The actual dates are from Monday, December 22 through Saturday, December 27, 2014.  We will reopen on Monday, December 29, with all classes for that week.  I do not plan on closing on for New Year’s Eve/Day.

Classes Cancelled Wednesday 11/26/14

I have decided to cancel classes today, Wednesday 11/26/14 due to the weather.  As I made my way to the studio from my work, I saw numerous spinouts and a few minor accidents, as people are once again becoming accustomed to driving in the winter weather.

Classes will resume their regular schedule on Saturday, 11/29/14.  I will likely not be present but Sensei Chris will be here to teach all classes.

I hope everyone has a safe evening and a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday weekend!

Slight Schedule Change

Soaring Crane WILL be open on Tuesday, November 11, 2014, starting with the Snakes class.
The next scheduled closing will be Thanksgiving Day.

Upcoming Closures

Please take note of the following scheduled closures for Soaring Crane Studio:

Tuesday - November 11, 2014 - Veteran's Day
Thursday - November 27, 2014 - Thanksgiving Day
Monday December 22 THROUGH Saturday December 27, 2014 - Christmas Week
Thursday, January 1, 2015 - New Year's Day

At this time we are tentatively open for Monday, October 13, 2014 - Columbus Day.  I will be asking periodically throughout this week to see if people are planning on attending.

As we move through the winter, please be aware that classes may be cancelled due to inclement weather.  We do not necessarily follow what the schools are doing, however sometimes it does work out that way.  Please keep an eye on email and also on NBC Connecticut when closures are expected to be possible.

Return to Summer Uniforms

I just wanted to announce that we are returning to our regular uniforms starting Monday, September 29 which is in one week.  All students must have their uniform tops, pants and belts, with school patches properly affixed to the left breast of the uniform top.  Any student not in proper uniform will not be able to participate in class that day, so please be sure to remember to bring the top as well.
