1. Dojo Tournament

SUNDAY JANUARY 29TH in Edison, 11:00 to 2:00
Cost: $40.00; Trophies, Medals and certificates.
Fund raiser for June 2006 World Tournament in Finland Competitors.

Take part, support our competitors like Brett, Christian, Jessica, Janette, Adam, Gerald, Frank, Shifa and many more. It cost a lot to go to the World Tournament. In years past it was made possible by contributions and fund raisers in the dojo. Every little helps. They all have big commitments in training, cost and time but are willing to sacrifice to bring the unbelievable energy of an Olympic Type World Tournament back to our students, inspire and motivate them for years to come.

There is a Cure for Your Child’s Summertime Blues: Karate Camp

June 27 to July 1st In Fords 9:00 to 3:00 for 5 days

Dear Parent,

Start the summer off right! Excite and motivate your child with our fantastic Karate Camp. They will develop confidence, coordination and keep physically and mentally fit. And what’s more your child will love it and thank you for enrolling them. Your children will have the chance to develop the karate that they love so much in many different ways. They will learn about the samurai, philosophy art and develop teamwork for a demonstration skit. All the best students have attended this camp now in its 12th year successfully running. Space is limited, See Office for details.


* Rather than training less than three hours a week, students will train over three hours a day.

* Each camper will also work creatively with others to develop a self-defense skit.

* Campers will also have the opportunity to learn new basics, kata and self-defense moves from their requirements books.

* Campers will demonstrate all that they have learned at a demonstration at 3:30 P.M. on Friday.

* On Wednesday night all camp students will be welcome to stay on an overnight at the dojo—in a mini uchshidaishi (one who lives and trains in the dojo) experience.

* Campers will learn about Japanese culture and history, as well as the history of their karate style Shukokai, through stories and movies like The Inch Boy (about a Samurai who was one inch tall), The Karate Kid, The Seven Samurai, as well as seeing excerpts from great Shukokai practicioners.

* Campers will also develop their artistic side through the Oriental Art of Origami.

* We will develop Improvement Plans for karate and outside of karate for each student and implement them. The improvements that you will see after a week will be amazing!

Karate Olympics

The theme of this year’s camp will be the Karate Olympics. We will have many different events where we will seek out our personal bests: for example, strongest and fastest punch and kick, highest jump for jump kicks, best team sparring, quickest personal and karate improvements etc.

This will be done collaboratively, so that while there will be some competition, most of it will be within themselves and everyone will improve and feel like a winner. Still everyone will be striving to be her best. Brett Fingerman, chief instructor at Ocean Shukokai Karate (and afterschool Karate instructor at H.W. Mountz School) will run, direct and teach at the camp. Brett has 25 years of martial arts experience, over 15 as an instructor. He is a world class karate tournament competitor who has won many American championships and some international as well. He has 10 years experience as an elementary school teacher and as a karate camp director/instructor.

What Value! Camp will go from 10 until 4 each day except for the overnight day in which it will go from 10 on Wednesday until 4 on Thursday. All students with prior Shukokai Karate experience between the ages of 5 and 12 are welcome to participate. The camp will be in session between June 27th and July 1st , 2005. The karate camp experience will help your child and his/her karate grow throughout the year.

The cost will include kosher snacks and drinks, one pizza party dinner, the breakfast, overnight, all the instruction, training and materials, as well as a visit or two to the beach. Not only is this camp fun, and good at developing the physical skills and qualities of many other sports camps, but karate camp will focus on developing each child’s character.

The cost will be $169 for registration and payment received before June 8th, $179 for registration and payment received after this time. At this price and in comparison to what other camps offer, this camp is a great value. Camp size is limited, so please enroll soon!

Students who have participated in this camp have gone on to become honors students, American and world Shukokai karate champions, karate instructors. While I don’t guarantee all these things for your child, I do guarantee that participating in karate camp will give them a great push in a positive direction. Class sizes are limited, so please enroll soon! See me if you have any questions.

Yours very truly,

Brett Fingerman
