Heard Around The Dojo April's Yudansha Class A special Karate Yudansha class will be held on Sunday April 18th at 11am at the Hombu Dojo. The Aikido Yudansha class will follow at 1pm New Friendship Night Format We are going back the old Friendship night format. We will combine the Adult Karate and Aikido classes for a special 90 minute class where we will focus on both Karate and Aikido. Cross-Training. The first Friendship night will be Thursday April 22nd. The Class will start at 8:30pm. We will either go out for a social evening after or stay in the dojo. Open House Dinner Looks like April and probably May are going to quite hectic. We have to put our Open House Dinners on hold for April and May. Hopefully everything will be back to normal in June. Outdoor Training On Thursday April 29th we will run all our classes outdoor at the dojo. Please dress in running shoes. You can change at the dojo. In the event of inclement weather we will hold special classes indoors. Going to Okinawa, November 2010 The trip to Okinawa has been finalized. Special thanks to Tony Gibson for organizing everything. Looks like we will have five black belts and two brown belts going to Okinawa in November. Click Here to see the flyer and current Itinerary. Newsletter Sorry, I have been so pre-occupied with the move and other things that I did not update the Newsletter since January. I will stay on top of now. Anyone who has any items, stories etc that should be in here, please email then to me. New Dojo We have moved and finally we are in our new location. The new dojo is located in Dunbarton-Fairport United Church. We have classes Monday, Thursday eveings and Saturday mornings. The beautiful room we have Monday and Thursday is, I believe, the original church from 1881. It is fantastic. Saturday's we are in a smaller room but will usually have the option of a bigger room. We also have the option of outside as we did for the Aikido this past Saturday. If you have not been out to class this week, please plan on attending next week and help us prepare for the upcoming kyu and dan testings as well as our Grand Opening Demonstration.
