My daughter is interested in starting karate. She is 6. We attend St. Catherine’s and I noticed in the bulletin it says karate is at 6:15, but online it says 4:30. Can you confirm which time she would attend? Also, is she too late to start coming? I didn’t know if it is best for her to start certain times of the year (I don’t want her to get lost.) What would she need to wear?
Sorry for all of the questions! I look forward to hearing back!

Hi Rachel,
Due to Covid, all but one class has been cancelled. That class is meeting in Culleoka on Thursday nights. We hope to start additional class in the near future.

Hi! When will classes start back at Thompson’s Station? Thank you!
Hi Heather,
Karate for Christ will not be meeting at Thompson Station Church. Currently plans are being discussed with another church, but due to Covid, it’s been difficult making arrangements. Currently our only class is on Thursday nights in Culleoka. I am updating that information on our webpage later today.
