Otanjou-bi Omedetou Gozaimasu Happy happy birthday O'Sensei
Nicki outside of our old Vermont Dojo during the visit of our students and teachers from the 34st Dojo in NY.
I am very proud to say that we had a great and successful turn out at the Wounded Warrior Project this last Sunday May 22nd 2011.
The day started cloudy and misty as we approached the Liberty State Park field where we were lost because there were no signs indicating where to go.
Once there we felt this was not going to sit well. Where were all the stars promised from the Cast of the Sopranos? where were the bikers? Where were my Karate team????
We found this great painting of Lenchus Sensei Painted by an unknown Japanese artest when he was Kawanabe Sensei's Student and a Marine Stationed in Hon Atsugi Japan
Niki Mijat has been with us 8 months and already has three trophies and two WTKO Medals. In TWO Events. She as a White Belt fought in a Black Belt Class and placed Camella 10 years old, has three months training, and went in for Kata against 12 Green Belts and placed 4th. She also has a Trophy Let's Rock and Roll
This picture taken last night by Lenchus Sensei shows that Camilla who has been practicing with us for about three months is begining to develop very nice form. You have to drop your chamber a little but we are proud of the way you are learning.
Camilla is 10 yrs old.
Sensei Thomas is one of my favorite of the Legend teachers he started karate 1969 and always reminds us how important basic skills are.
Thank you we enjoyed your visit.
