This soon to be 12 year old has some stretching and strength drills for all of us to take our kicking to new heights.
Team Macho’s Kodi Molina is a talented and dedicated martial artist from Texas. Her family is always willing to share, whether it be a hug, knowledge or even a sandwich! This Friday, she will be sharing her tips and tricks with us! Get motivated to work hard and achieve those goals!
We’re asking for a $5 donation to send to her to offset her training and competition expenses!
Please let us know you’re interested so we can add you to the list. You can let us know below.
You don’t have to train at SCS to be part of it.
Zoom info will be available Thursday. Only 20 people can be accommodated in the dojo so sign up for the 5:30 Friday High Red Belt class if you’re interested in doing this at the dojo!
If you have a fitness band or old karate belt you can kick with, have it available!
Feel free to come practice at the dojo during the 5:30 CMX Class (please register online like you do for normal classes). We will be happy to help you with your kata and make sure you are feeling strong about your performance for the event.
Bring your uniformand belt. You will be competing in your belt and uniform, so you won’t want to forget it. You may want to have other clothes with you to keep it neat. Go ahead, iron it, make it look great! You will feel stronger and more powerful!
Bring drinks and snacks and maybe even plan on going to pick up take out. During the event, you will want snacks and drinks. We have a refrigerator available, but we currently are not stocking drinks and snacks, so bring some of your favorites with you and maybe even plan to go for takeout during the day. We will set up some tables and chairs so that people have hangout areas away from the competition area.
UPDATED! If you are competing, please follow these directions to find out your zoom room and time and send it to Ms. Crissi by Friday Night!

it should look like this:
You should have received an email with a lot of information from the Fever Frenzy. Please read through it, it gives a lot of information.
I will take the information that shows the Name, Division, Time and Zoom Room and compile them into a list for us to use at the dojo that will help organize us to be able to make sure we don’t miss any divisions and that we can be organized.
We will be at the dojo at 8:30 to prepare for competition. You don’t need to be there for the whole thing, but do plan to come early so you can warm up and encourage others at the dojo.
Because of the new mask ordinance, we should all do our best to wear them if possible and social distance. No, it won’t be enforced, but we will be considerate of others who would like to.
How does competition work? This is a unique way of competing, but we love the format of it and the way we can encourage others to be part of the event.
What will happen is that you will receive the email I mentioned above and you will get to the dojo 30-60 minutes before your scheduled session. Your division may be at the beginning of the session or more towards the end, and they may run behind because of difficulties or judge changes or having more competitors than they expected. The reason they cut off the registration on Thursday is so that they can organize it.
During that session, we will log in to the Zoom Room on one of our phones so that we can be ready for your event. We will have a phone for each Zoom Room (there will be two for the competition). The rooms are similar to rings at a tournament. When it’s your turn, the announcer will call your division. The names of the competitors in the division will be checked in and shuffled. The order will be given (usually really quickly) and we will be ready and waiting for the announcer to call our name and start the audio on the device. You will perform and sometimes she or he will want to speak to you. After you have competed, you wait for the division to finish and then the judges announce the scores.
Regardless of your placing, you will receive a Division Certificate in your mailbox within an hour or two of your division that you can proudly share to social media! Please forward these emails to crissi.boyer@me.com so we can shout it out loud about your hard work and dedication and bravery to compete!
Spectators, please read this section.
We will post the links where you can see what divisions are running and what is going on later this evening when we receive the details.
There will be different sessions, so look for the Live notification and be sure you are watching a current room and not a pre-recorded room. You will be able to go back later and watch them as well.
Today we will be offering an open mat for anyone to train forms. Anyone participating in the tournament or who would be interested in competing in the future is welcome to attend. Please register for the 5:30 CMX Class today.
High Red and Above Class
We will offer an open mat for you to work on kata, train, use weights, etc. This is for high red belts and above. You may use any equipment and work with people within your family if you would like to do pad work or sparring. Please register for this class so we can limit the number of people in the class.
With the new mask order in Alabama, we want to ask our students to please wear one coming in and out of the dojo.
We have a few in stock. Please let me know ASAP if you want a super cool, super comfy Team SCS mask! $5 each
You will not be required to wear it while training.
With all the uncertainties of this pandemic, we are doing our part to follow guidelines. Thank you for understanding and allowing us to respect our government and our community so that we can continue to help others become the champions they are meant to be.
1) no you don’t have to wear a mask to workout.
2) young children don’t have to wear a mask in or out of the dojo.
3) we won’t turn you away if you’re not wearing one.
4) please feel free to read up on the state guidelines regarding exercise as we are trying our best to follow the standards set by local, state and federal guidelines.
We will not likely go over curriculum, but it will be a fun class that you will sweat to!

July 10 Class: Open Mat for all High Red Belts and Black Belt Candidates
This will be an open mat session to allow you to use any equipment or floor space you need to prepare for your Black Belt Candidate Training. If you have any questions regarding curriculum, they can be answered in this session.
We will not be offering it via zoom, however later this week, we will be sharing a syllabus for Black Belt Training as well as a video to elaborate on some of the details of this training. If you are unable to attend, please email your questions to sensei@scskarate.com.
At this time, we are unable to really begin training due to the fact that much of our curriculum is interactive. Self defense, sparring, pad work, etc. are all measurements of a student’s skill level in regards to their ability to be ready for Black Belt. Fitness, kata, attitude, attention to detail are all very important as well, and can be worked on at this time, so please watch for the information we will be sharing this week.
