Last week, we welcomed our sponsor Sensei from Kanagawa, Japan to Tulsa for our annual Fall Gasshuku/Seminar. It was a wonderful success, and we hope everyone who came gained something to take home and work on this year. Iwanami Sensei and Abe Sensei will return again in 2026 to check on all of us—so let’s work hard to improve in the meantime!

We are happy to announce that registration for our annual Oklahoma Fall Seminar with Iwanami Sensei and Ave Sensei from our sponsor dojo in Kanagawa has been scheduled for 11/14-11/16/25!

We are expecting a great weekend of practice and learning. As registration space is limited, please reach out to one of our team members via DM for more information—or reach out via text or email to Lindsay Sensei himself for more information.

See you soon!
