The New Year got off to a great start as we celebrated Kagami Biraki on Sunday January 22nd, 2006 with Aikido, Jodo and Karate kyu tests. It was a very long afternoon as after the Kagami Biraki Shiki(ceremony) and the kyu tests we also had a traditional Japanese New Year meal served by all the sempai (black belts and brown belts). Everyone enjoyed themselves. Thank you to everyone who helped to make this important event a success. We have *lots* more pictures and DVDs are available. Congratulations to everyone who passed their tests:
The students of the year 2005 were also announced at Kagami Biraki. Congratulations to these very special people:

Click on any of the upcoming events listed below to learn more: Karate Friendship Night We would like to invite any karate-ka who practice Matsubyashi-Ryu to join us for the last Thursday of every month. After a good warm-up of kihon (basics) we start kata practice and sometimes also add Bunkai (application) and Yakusoku Kumite (pre-arranged sparring) practice to the evening. Our dojo is open to all, regardless of rank or associations. This is a non-political dojo and a fun night of training together in the true spirit of Nagamine Shoshin Sensei's Karate-Do. If you are interested in joining us please contact us for directions and times or feel free to drop in for the 8pm adult class on the last Thursday of each month. The next Kata night is Thursday March 23rd On Wednesday March 22nd we will be doing our "Hajime" training in the adult Aikido class. "Hajime" means to begin and we will be doing techniques rapidly on that command. It is an excellent cardio workout as well as an excellent training tool. When you must react quickly over and over to a command, you have no time to think about what you are going to do - you can only do. That is important in the martial arts. Be sure not to miss this class. After the class we will hold our Shinbokukai (Friendship event) at a local restaurant or in the dojo. Karate Promotions Please see the Archives for past promotions.
