    In particular, I wanted to thank the Senseis Mike and Delynn Purcell for making the clinic possible at all. Also, the members of Columbia Dojo were outstanding!

    Just a reminder that we need everyone to be at the kata clinic this Saturday. Not only do all of us need to learn the kata, but the club needs your help. Please make sure you can attend.

  • Presidents’ day (A.K.A. Washington’s Birthday)

    Many of you may know the third Monday in February is Presidents’ day, but the more important fact about Presidents’ day is that the East Central Community Center is closed.
    This means that there will be no practice on Monday evening. Just do some pushups on your own and come Wednesday ready to workout hard!
