Happy Thanksgiving everyone! The dojo will be open as usual this week except for Thursday. If you plan on eating a lot over this holiday, come burn some calories before and after. We all just wanna relax during holiday season, but we all know that it feels good to come and sweat!
OK Leroy (and anybody else); I will be visiting Japan April 4-13 next year. Plan your trip if you want me to show you the dark side of Tokyo only the local people know...! :-)
