🥋Liam, Aiden, Connor for getting to the grand championship round.

Great job representing the dojo and training hard.

Lastly, dojo will be closed next week for vacation.

Good luck to everyone competing in Fort Wayne today.

We had another energetic and full night at the dojo. Thanks to Sensei Tory Buchan , Sensei Jarrod Allen Magee and Mr. Garcia for working with everyone. (KU tegumi drills, kumite and some kata).

Last week I received a hand brushed dojo kun from Kancho T. Okuyama that now hangs on the front wall of the dojo. Very beautiful work and we appreciate the gift and hospitality sir.

Congratulations to the 3 new yellow belts. It was a hot night in the dojo and senpai Garcia did a great job leading the test. While belt promotions are excellent goals and milestones, the real reward is seeing a pre-teen gain strength and confidence, a teenager discovering a passion and excitement for training, and a father improve his health and lose 20lbs during the process.

Thanks to the other students that helped with the testing and growing the dojo.

No classes today in observance of Memorial Day.

Great energy in the dojo tonight. Everyone worked hard.

It’s been an eventful winter with tournament training, new students and testing.
Congratulations to Aiden, Liam and Nash on your promotions. This is an exciting way to celebrate our 7th anniversary.

We invite you to visit TASK at LivRite Fitness in Anderson on Monday and Wednesdays
