Holidays usually mean less students, but I'm glad that we always have at least a few students who come and train when we're open. Perhaps they are feeling guilty of eating too much holiday dinner and want to burn the calories? Whatever the reason is, I'm happy to keep the dojo open.
Thank you for coming to help clean the dojo today. Oosoji 2012 was a big success, with over 10 people participating. The dojo is clean now, ready to get dirty again in the coming new year...!
I gave Ariana this new kata, Jion. No brown belts at our dojo has done this yet. It appears mostly pretty basic, and I'm sure she can nail it in a few months. Here are some of the recommended videos:

PJ is Kanku Dai. I initially was going to give him Jion as well, but he can do this one nice as well, I hope. I believe I already posted some Kanku Dai videos in the past, but I don't remember if I had posted this one:

I bought a used projector. We should do a movie night (or youtube night or whatever) at the dojo one of these days!
Wishing all of you a very happy new year!
