June 4, 2025Summer Practices
Hello Everyone,
Rec services has asked us to remind everyone that the Forker building closes at 7:45pm during the summer. This means that everyone needs to be out of the building before 7:45pm. Please adjust and plan accordingly for after practice to make sure you are out of the building in time.
Additionally, we were misinformed and the Forker building is closed on Fridays during the summer. As such there will be no Friday practices going forward.
Sincerely,
Martial Arts Cabinet

July 15, 2025Iowa Games
Hello everyone,
The Summer Iowa Games are just around the corner! I hope we can see you there!
Saturday at 1pm we will need help to move about 200 puzzle mats from the dojo/dojang over to Lied and get them set up.
We will have on-site registration, so it is not too late to join us! We will be doing double elimination for forms and possibly for sparring.
Saturday at 3 pm there will be a referee seminar in Leid Rec. Center for anyone who is interested. If you are looking at center refereeing, be sure to check this seminar out as it will be beneficial to review. Master Puhl will be leading this seminar helping out everyone learn and review the current rules.
Referees will meet at 8:20 am in Leid Rec. for ring assignments and announcements.
There will be a coach meeting between forms and sparring.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Master Puhl. We would always appreciate volunteers, if you would like to help, please let me know.
Also, please forward this information to others who might be interested.
