Ohana Cancellation - Corona Virus Update
The AJI has made the extremely difficult decision to CANCEL the 2020 Ohana. While we initially intended to make a decision at our April 12th Meeting, rapidly changing circumstances have forced this decision.The safety and security of our members and those who planned to attend the event are paramount. Hawaii is effectively closed for business and the likelihood of a quick recovery is remote.
Please see the AJI webapage for more details: www.americanjujitsuinstitute.org
