The Combat Kickboxing Academy has recently announced a new Light Contact Continuous competition in Thurston (near Bury St. Edmund) for the 15 March 2009.
Please check details and rules on this post. Will you please let Massimo know, by Friday 20 February, your intention in participating and pay the fee of £12.00 Please notify your full name, age, weight and experience in competitions.
Spectators pay £6 if a friend or relative in interested in watching.
For those who have been delaying exercise until the New Year and then missed our very successful beginner course in January, here is the opportunity you were waiting for. CARISMA is running a new beginners course, starting on the 17th of February to run for 4 consecutives Tuesday and Thursday classes (e.g. 17, 19, 25 and 27).
If you would like to join (or you know somebody who would like to) please do it on that date: the club is very close to its full capacity and we might not run another beginners course for a while after this date.
There is no need for booking: please just turn up at 6pm at Kelsey Kerridge Sports Hall, Queen Anne terrace, Cambridge.
Following the committee meetings at the end of last year, discussing CARISMA’s finances, the committee voted to introduce grading fees from the new year. The cost per grading will increase with grade, with the breakdown of costs as follows:
• The first three gradings (white to yellow, yellow to orange, and orange to orange 2nd belt) will be priced at £10
• The next three (orange 2nd to green, green to green 2nd, and green 2nd to blue belt) will cost £20
• The last three (blue to blue 2nd, blue 2nd to brown, and brown to black belt) will cost £30
If someone takes a double grading (for example, going straight from yellow to orange second, or orange to green belt), they would only pay a single fee relative to the final grade attained (so, £10 in the first example and £20 in the second). Most other martial arts clubs charge similar or higher fees, and CARISMA remains an extremely
competitively priced club. The grading fees will apply from the next grading (March 2009).
Just a reminder of this month’s fee increase – this is £2 per month across the board.
If you pay by standing order, please make sure you have amended the amount paid to Carisma each month; if you haven’t done it in time for the February fees, please give the outstanding £2 to Massimo at the next lesson.
If you pay by chash or cheque, you can use this as an opportunity to change to the more convenient (and cheaper!) standing order option.
We would like to invite all of our members and followers to watch the Varsity 2009 Kick Boxing fights on the 20 February 2009. Nine members of Cambridge University Kickboxing Society (CUKBS), both male and female, will fight against Oxford opponents in 3 x 1.5 min rounds Light Continuous Kickboxing.
The show will be held at the Cambride Union and tickes will be available soon at their office. CUKBS members remember your termcard for your discount.
As known CARISMA is the official coach for CUKBS and this is the opportunity of seeing several CARISMA members in action so please come and support us.
