Kaicho’s 70th Birthday Present

This was our Dojo gift to Kaicho which Sensei Tom made for him! The Hayashi family made the tile which is on the front of the planter. Kaicho loved them and they really were a wonderful addition to Johshin Honzan! They say “welcome” to the front entryway!

February 6 – Adult Promotion Night

Just a reminder that this coming Monday, Feb. 6 is promotion for adults. Along with this promotion, we will be holding a fighting clinic, so please, please, please plan on being here until at least 8 or 8:30 p.m. We will probably go out and grab a bite to eat after the promotion/clinic, so please feel free to join us for that as well. For those adults that have children in tow on normal nights, we would like to respectfully ask that some other arrangement be made for their pick up, for just this one night.
