Heard Around the Dojo
Spring Dojo Cleaning
The students spent their Saturday afternoon cleaning the dojo from top to bottom and making minor repairs to the raised floor. Thanks to everyone who attended and worked so hard.
Kata 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 decided this month to 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.

Renseikan Dojo is very proud of our newest karate black belt, Lynn Elwood, who passed her black belt test Sunday April 14th. Many of the Karate, Aikido and Jodo students were in attendance for this very special day.Click on above picture for some preliminary pictures from Lynn's Shodan test.
