Class Schedule 

The karate class schedule is not cyclical or seasonal. Classes are year-round.

Most people will miss class from time to time. This is quite normal. Everyone is bound to be sick sometimes, or have other scheduling conflicts. Because of this, there is no mandatory attendance policy at the Chain of Lakes Karate Club. Once dues are paid, students are free to come as little or as much as they wish. Keep in mind, however, that consistent training generally results in consistent progress.

Generally, there will be no classes on legitimate holidays (ex: Christmas, Thanksgiving, etc.). Also, as this is Minnesnowta, there will be weather related cancellations from time to time. As a general rule, class will be cancelled on days when local schools have been cancelled due to snow or ice. If you have any questions, please call Sensei Ben Madsen at (507) 236-7140.

Classes are held in the back gym area of M.C. Fitness in Fairmont.

Tuesdays - 6:30 - 8:00 pm

Thursdays - 6:30 - 8:00 pm

Saturdays - 9:30 - 11:00 am

 

Please remember that the posted times are when class BEGINS.  Make sure that you are at the gym with enough time to get dressed and warmed up before class begins.

Training Code       

of Master Hohan Sokon    

1.  Always act in a courteous manner.

2.  During your training, concentrate to the limit of your mental endurance.  Give your all mentally and physically as training without concentration prevents advancement.

3.  The physical, mental and spiritual training of the student should be combined as one.  The heart, mind and body should be in union at all times.

4.  Heed the advice of your teacher and of more advanced students of your school and other schools.  Listen to them and never forget their advice.

5.  Listening and watching are key points to advancement.

6.  In order to advance, one must strive to obtain the true spirit of the art.

7.  Training is on a continuous basis, and one learns a little at a time.  Do not take breaks in training as it will result in a step backwards.

8.  Always strive for advancement and when advanced, one must not brag or boast.

9.  Self-praise and over-confidence is a sickness that corrupts training.

10.  Refrain from over-eating, drinking and smoking, for these are bad habits that hinder the effectiveness of your training.

11.  Martial arts training has no limits.  Step by step, study by study, and one day in the future you will undoubtedly enter the Temple of Shaolin.
