BUDDY DAY AT NIKI. December 1st is “bring your buddy to karate” day. The group session will be from 10am to 11am with a question and answer period following. Students will wear their gis, but the buddies just wear loose clothing. This is an opportunity for you to bring your friends to karate and actually have them participate in a class at no charge. This could help them decide if karate is something they might be interested in and good at. So start thinking about which of your buddies you plan on inviting.
