New Dojo Open House

On Saturday June 27th we had an open house at our new Ward's Family Karate dojo located at 3228 N. Nevada Ave. We host a hamburger cookout and potluck. The burgers were great! I was so busy I did not get to sample all the good things at the potluck, but the few that I did with chocolate were great. Thanks to every one for all the great food.

We also formally bowed in the new dojo. We had a wonder ceremony were we read through the scroll of the lineage, and honor all of our past and present masters. We then held a mini seminar and look at the first two moves of the kata Heian Shodan. We though a number of our students to punch harder than they ever have before.

We had a lot of visitors from the Family Karate Association. These included Kyoshi Haynes the head of our association and owner of the Family Karate Center, Sensei Salamander from UCCS, club owner Sensei Tina Nance, and Sensei Deb Cupples. It was a real pleasure to show of our beautiful new dojo them for the first time.
