I have moved our site to a new hosting service. Please let me know if you find anything broken on the new server.

Next Monday the gym is closed for Martin Luther King, Jr. Day

Now that the holidays are over (and all the eating is done) we are ready to get back to practice. Just a reminder to all that practice will be on Wednesday this week and hopefully all of you will be there.
My goal for this year is that more of us participate in competitions and part of that is getting prepared. Tournaments are not won at the tournament, they are won in practice with hard work!
See everyone Wednesday.

I am pleased to announce the promotion of Daniel Grisham to yellow belt.
He can now start the new year ready to work hard!

I just wanted to thank everyone for attending the Christmas party last night. In particular Sensei Marci and Sensei Anna Marie really made the party a success.
Happy holidays to everyone. We will see you on the mat Wednesday (12/14).

When: Friday, December 9th, 6:00-9:00
Where: Brett, Anna Marie & Lucas’s house, 2502 E 38th AVE

We’ll have music, holiday cheer and food…
Please come (even if you have been skipping practice lately)!
We’re providing Pizza, Lasagna & Beverages
Please Bring (pick one and let Anna Marie know or leave a comment)

• Green salad
• Side dish (potato salad, macaroni & cheese, pasta…whatever)

The gym will be closed from Dec. 4 through Dec. 12. There will be no practice during that week and for Monday Dec. 12. We will have practice on Dec. 14.

We also will be off the week between Christmas and the new year (Dec. 26, Dec. 28, and Jan. 2). We will resume practice on Jan. 4 (Wednesday).

There will be no practice on Nov 23 as the East Central Community Center will be closing at noon that day.
We will work out extra hard before then to make up for missing practice.
