The Demko Experience...Top Notch!

 Well, I just got back from dropping off Andy Demko, 7th Dan, Shihan and his son Andrew, 4th Dan, Fukushidoin at the aiport.  I was honored and pleased to host them at my house and along with our Chief Instructor, Dennis Main, 5th Dan, Shidoin at our dojo this past weekend.  As usual, the instruction was top notch and you can clearly see from that the apple does not fall far from the tree.  Friday night class…See More

A Fun and Successful Trip to Atlanta for the Yamada Sensei Seminar

We had 8 members of our dojo attend the annual USAF Atlanta Seminar featuring Yamada Shihan this past weekend.  I can speak for everyone when I say that the trip went extremely well.  First and foremost, it was great to have such a positive turnout from our dojo support this great seminar where one of our members, Jim Hyde tested and was promoted to Shodan (First Degree Black Belt).  He's been training diligently for the past 5 years and was more than prepared.  Kudos to one of our black…
