DECEMBER 2025
The last month of 2025! What a fantastic year this has been. Have you met all of your training goals? There is still time!
We are also getting to that time of year when inclement weather may affect our classes. If the dojo is closed due to weather a Remind message will be sent out. Please make sure that you have the app so that you get notifications. This will also be posted on our facebook page as well as an email sent out to signed up students if possible.
Please remember to take your shoes/boots off on the mats and then place them on the shoe rack. Let’s keep the dojo floor clean and dry.
When parking at the Hombu please remember to follow the sign; come straight up the drive way and angle park with front-end facing in a southeast direction. Pull right up to the fence, nose first. If you are dropping off, stay to the inside of the circle and be mindful of traffic coming behind.
Thank you to everyone who supported our fundraiser for Casa de Amor, the medical clinic in the Dominican Republic
