Academy of Japanese Shotokan Karate

Congratulations to our newest promotions!!! We look forward to seeing their continued growth in karate.

My students competed in a tournament held by Sensei Valvona yesterday. The competition was fierce, friendships made, and felt everyone was able to take something away.

Great job by all, young and old, veterans to first time competitors. No matter the style, no matter the schools, we all represented our teachers well.

I couldn’t have been more proud of Nicholas, Esmie, Duncan, Emmett, Big Alex, and Mary for going out there and doing what they did. It takes a lot of courage and honor to represent. Thank you for all the family and friends that came and showed their support.

Snow day announced for tomorrow schools, depending on the weather and traffic we may follow suit and cancel class. Currently just an FYI

Tonight was our annual Christmas party. Sorry no pictures but we had a great turnout and an even better time. Promotions and gifts were given, pizza eaten, and pictures taken. I would say it was quite successful. One more class and we’re off for two weeks.

To all of our karate friends and families out there, have a very Merry Christmas and an extremely Happy New Year!!!

Oliver and Alex did an incredible job today. So very proud of their hard work and dedication to the art. Thank you to Sensei Romanelli for allowing us to participate.

Here are some of our newest promotions. So proud of all their hard work and dedication. Congratulations on your accomplishment!!!

The kids came out with another solid performance. They represented the club, their families, and the art in a manner that I couldn’t have been more proud of them. Thank you to the parents, our assistant instructors, and our other teammates that couldn’t make it this year for all the help and support.

Congratulations to all of our new friends from other schools. It was an honor to have been a part of this with you. Oss
