New belt ranks!

Last week we had more students test for their next belt rank. They all did an amazing job and we are so proud of each of them. Congratulations to them!

Annual Family Karate Picnic

We had a great time at our Annual Family Karate Picnic on Sunday. We had some brief reprieve from the extreme heat when a pop-up shower developed. “Mr. Sensei’s” gourmet hot dog bar was a big hit! We enjoyed the new location a lot, with tennis courts, large pavilion, and close proximity of the playground, parking lot and bathrooms. The quiet location was an added bonus. Thank you to everyone that can. We missed those who could not make it.  

They passed their tests!

We are so proud of how hard everyone worked to earn their new belt ranks. Congratulations to them, well done!

New belt ranks!

A couple of weeks ago we had some awesome students test for their next rank. Sensei forgot to take a picture of one student, so sorry. As soon as she gets a picture, we will post it! Everyone did a great job on their tests. Congratulations to them!

Beikoku Shidokan Association Midwest Training Seminar

On May 17th, 2025, members of the dojo participated in the Beikoku Shidokan Association Midwest Training Seminar in Lansing, MI. It was wonderful to be back together as a group! The training was extra adventurous due to the tornado that came the night before. The venue was without power during the morning session. We are tough karateka and adapted quickly to train in the park during a cold light drizzle. Fortunately, the power was restored for the afternoon session, allowing us to train indoors. We missed those who could not make it and were grateful to those who could.
