“‘TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CLASSES”

The gi bags were placed by the door with care
In hopes that real classes would soon be here
The students were tired of no contact training
Although the zooms were very entertaining
The students were prepared for what was ahead
With visions of kata kicking in their head
Sensei was ready with classes a plenty
Are the students ready for push ups by twenty?

Don’t forget to join us at 7 PM tonight as we go over dates, protocols and all other important details about us getting back in the dojo!!

See the dojo chat for the zoom link!

Who’s excited to get back in the dojo!?!?!?

How about a little throwback Thursday today! World championships!

It was a Saturday morning like any other. The sound of kiai filled the dojo as the students worked on kata. The seniors sat in chairs and worked on tournament preparations with the younger students. The first tournament of the year was quickly approaching and everyone was working hard to be ready. As the morning faded to afternoon the sounds turned to gloves being hit. Point sparring training was now taking place. At the end of each class and again at the end of the day, Sensei told his students he would see them on Tuesday. Just like normal. The date of that Saturday was March 14th, 2020. Those normal Tuesday classes never came. Nor did any other class that week, or the next, or the next.... today marks one year since our last class in the dojo. Sensei’s bags and equipment still sit in the exact spot they were left after those Saturday morning classes, unused. Nobody could have predicted a year later we would still not be able to be back. The dojo sits still, waiting. Although the dojo is empty, much has happened in this year. We’ve all grown. We’ve all matured. We’ve all lived through something nobody was expecting. Experiences change us. Sometimes for the better, sometimes they take more of a toll... mentally and physically. I know things will be different. On that Saturday, all of our classes were full. The dojo had its highest number of students we’d ever had. When we get back, that will be different. We’ve had some students say goodbye to us in this year of turmoil. That is not the normal though. Those of you that have stuck with us so far are doing something so incredible, just by showing up for weekly zoom classes. To you it may just be another Thursday zoom where we do our exercises, talk a bit and maybe do a bit of technique. In reality you’re all doing so much more. You’re helping build our dojo again. You’re helping keep the spirit of the dojo. You’re helping keep the dojo alive. As things keep improving and vaccines continue to make their way across us all, I know we’ll be back. We’ll be back in a big way. Continue to hang in there, continue to work, continue to be your best self. The end is in sight, we can see it. After-all, the only reason we fall down, is so we can get back up.

Sensei

Nothing sadder than a brand new gi bag with nowhere to go..

If you sent in a Kata be on the lookout today for a delivery from Sensei!

We’ll be having another zoom meeting this coming Wednesday at 7 PM! Can’t wait to hopefully see everyone there!
