Osu! Belt grading is this Saturday, December 13.

Kids 9am
Youth 10am (not including youth seeking green belt or higher)
Teens/Adults 12pm (Plus youth seeking green belt or higher)

Please arrive 15 minutes early so we can get everyone checked in and be ready to start on time. While we are very adaptable other days due to traffic and such, it is critical that everyone is on time and ready to go on grading days.

Osu! Part of the USA contingent for the 6th Matsushima World Tournament took the opportunity to train in the original Kyokushinkaikan honbu dojo. So much history here, and amazing how many people were packed into such a small place when Sosai Oyama was alive. This is the first time we have had access, so a great opportunity to take it all in. Osu!

Osu! We are very excited for the World Tournament in Japan. We have an incredible group of fighters representing the USA, a bunch of folks grading for various black belts, as well as our Shihans refereeing. With so many of our dojo leaders in Japan we will be closed during America's Thanksgiving. We hope everyone has a wonderful time with friends and family, then comes back ready to work off all those extra feast calories.

November Schedule:
Sunday November 17 - Saturday November 22: Classes as Normal
Sunday November 23 - Saturday November 29: Dojo closed
Sunday November 30 and forward: Classes as normal

Osu! Looking forward to seeing everyone at the Kyokushin Challenge tournament at the City of Destiny Classic in Tacoma. No regular class today since we will be at the tournament. Please note that 405 South has construction and you will need to leave extra time or use an alternate route. Weigh-ins at 9:00-9:30 am, tournament starts at 10:00 am. If you didn't pre-register, you can register at the door. Osu.

Osu! As of today (Sept 5th) the Friday 7:00pm class is back and will remain! Unfortunately the earlier Friday kids and youth classes are not resuming at this time. We will continue working to see if we can add the kids or youth classes in the future.
