On 10/10, Saturday – we will have a joint practice with other dojo’s visiting from other states.  The practice time will be as usual, 3:30-5:30, but please be there a bit early.

On 10/11, Sunday  – we will be practicing Shiai (competition) matches; meaning we will set up our dojo just like a Shiaijo (match arena) with a timer, and 3 referees to judge valid points.  Beginners; even without Bogu are welcome to watch the practice matches so that you get a feel of how actual matches are like and learn to what are valid scores.  The practice will go from 9:00 am-noon, please be ready to go by 9:15am.
