KARATEDO HONMA DOJO

For a traditional Karate dojo, beginning each new year with strong spirit and renewed determination is important for our training.  When the students entered the dojo, the floor was cold as ice.  As soon as we began our training, everyone’s strong energy made us forget our frozen feet.  This year our Kagami Biraki has renewed my energy and humbled me. 

We are thankful to Sensei Miguel and his students from Shurenkan, Sensei Sato and his students from Shinkyokushinkai, Sensei Iwata and his students from Iwata Dojo, and Sensei Chris and his students from Gojuryu not only for participating, but also for building this wonderful karate community.

All the students brought their A-game to the 2008 KHD Bowling Tournament, but only one walked away with the grand prize.  First place goes to Michelle McCabe!!  Second place goes to Cisco Robles and Yutaro Tsujimoto rounds out our winners by taking third place.  

Special thanks to Michelle and Tada for organizing this successful event.  Our deepest gratitude goes to Hideo and Ushiwakamaru Restaurant for hosting our after party and feeding us the most amazing sushi!  Mmmm….sushi.  

We all had a great time. Thanks to Santa for fitting us into his busy holiday schedule.  Special thanks to all the parents who helped make the party such a blast!
