Tonight is outdoor karate, street fighting karate.

Like the samurai, a person must have balance in their life. A samurai would learn to fight with the sword or other weapons and on the same day learn calligraphy and flower arrangements.

Balance.

Good evening, tomorrow is a holy day in the Church, so the multi-purpose room is unavailable. The pavilion is open for our use however, judging from the weather tomorrow night, 37° and rain showers might not be conducive to outdoor karate.

So with that said, we're going to take the week off, see everyone next Thursday regular time.

I had so much fun tonight with you guys! Congratulations to our newest Shodan Brian! Congratulations to our two Nidan black belts, Fred and Eli. Happy for Michaels Yandan belt.
And congratulations to our new greenbelts and brown belt. I'm very excited to see where we go from here.
Also had a wonderful surprise when Sensei Melody came into the room after being on sabbatical for 2 years.

I love seeing the students grow and it amazes me when I meet someone 6 years old and you turn around and they are 22!

Hello karate family, I do have the belts and I'm ready for the promotion tomorrow night. I'm going to try to start class before 6:15 if possible.
If you can attend the promotion please let me know if you cannot we'll make other arrangements.

Hello karate family, the belts have been ordered for the promotion and I am working on the certificates.
I'm still holding the date of February 12th for promotion.
Now that the brown shirts are behind us until March, we have to be on time.

Hello there karate family. Right now I have the promotion scheduled for February 12th.

I've been trying to be flexible but it's hard to get everybody in the room at the same time.

If you can't make that date please let me know as soon as possible so we can make other arrangements.

Sensei.

Hi karate family. I am trying to plan the promotion, it's slightly difficult to get everyone on the same page, I don't want anyone to miss out.

But I will have to give a concrete date and work with that.

Further information to come.

I want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays to our karate family. Even if it isn't a holiday that you celebrate, being home with family and having nothing to do is a blessing now and then.

Buon Natale

It was such a great night seeing the college "kids" back for the holidays... We are lucky to have such a fun bunch ❤️...

I wanted to write a quick note to our karate family and wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving. We have so much to be thankful for, collectively as a group, and individually.

"A family that kicks together sticks together". Mr. Smith.

I believe this to be true, and I will make sure we have that opportunity.

Be safe, enjoy the family time together.

Thursday night was a great workout. Three newer students doing Pina Nidan on their own was awesome. Great combination of good students and good teachers.
Little Isobel gave us a scare, but she's a tough little cookie.

Congratulations to Dan, Charlotte and Izzy.

Those are the type of workouts that keep me coming back for more. Good job to all.

Sensei.
