- June 1, 2013

Long time no blogging!

It's not that there was nothing to write.  I simply didn't have time or didn't feel like writing, or both.  We had the regional championship and Kyu exam in April.  In May a lot of our students took a break/went easy and the attendance was pretty bad.  Now it's a new month and time to get ready for the next short term goal, be it a Kyu test, a Dan test or a tournament!

On July 21st the dojo will be hosting a 2-year anniversary party!  We will ask a few of you to do some type of demonstrations (most likely Kata).  Be prepared.  Like the last year and the year before, we will probably do a training, followed by some demos, followed by lots of foods and drinks.  Your help/contribution will be highly appreciated.  Can you believe that it's been already 2 years?  Actually, I feel that it has been a lot longer, since I've spent a lot of time at this dojo in the last 2 years.  A lot.  Make it every-single-day...

And in August (the 18th or the 25th, not decided yet) we will have the next Kyu exam.  We recently had a few people joined, so this will be their first test.  Very exciting!

It may not be of your concern, but I and Eiko will be competing at the AAKF Nationals in 3 weeks.  Wish us luck!  Depending on how we place, we may get to go to Argentina for the Pan American championship in November...

In October or November, our region will be hosting a 2-day national seminar somewhere in LA, OC or SD area.  There will be some high-rank instructors gathered from across the country, and it will be a cool event.

OK, I listed all the known future events for the next few months, just in case I take another long break from blogging...! :-)

In case you're new to the dojo or to this blog, I have a list of recommended youtube videos to learn your Kata posted on this blog's past entries.  Search by the tag "Kata".  I'll try to make sure that those links are still active.

See you at the dojo!
