Topics Discussed  
  Class Schedules
    Melissa collected information from each of the school representatives that were present to update the class schedules listed on each school page. Sunday classes were reccommended for getting in an additional night of training, should the students want one. There is also a Sunday training with Sensei Tabata every Sunday from 12-2pm at Hill Hall - Tufts University.
     
  Spring Schedule
    The tournament will be hosted by Boston College. The planned date is either the weekend of April 8th or the weekend of April 22nd. The preferred weekend is April 22nd. Check the events schedule page for more information. The hosting school will have a 50% discount on all entrance fees for the tournament. Sensei has limited the age of competitors to 18 and up. The tournament will be open to all interested - competitors do not have to be NECKC or NAKF members, nor do they have to practice Shotokan. A tournament committe was formed for later planning of the tournament.
     
    Because of the success of the kata clinic weekend last semester, Kata Clinics will be held as a single seminar weekend again. The schedule and more details can be found on the seminar page. It was suggested by Sensei Tabata that the kata clinic weekend would replace the special training weekends.
