Once a year Centres Ray Cormier hold an awards night for the Junior class. This is to give the students more confidence and to show that the instructors notice each student. The awards that are given are for specific areas of karate. Such as fighting, katas, breaking, etc. Sometimes they are certain students that may stick for an activity that is not usually recognized. In such cases the head instructor will reward this student with an original award.
