First and foremost, a big thanks to Carleton College for hosting a successful and helpful annual seminar this past weekend.  Also big thanks to Okawara sensei (Choyokan dojo, Chicago) and Imanishi sensei (Casade Dojo, Seattle) came all the way here to Minnesota to help us learn.   I hope we all learned a lot, meet some new people, and most of all, had fun.

Kawashimo-sensei visit 

Another announcement is that Kawashimo-sensei will be visiting us next week.  If you don’t know about Kawashimo sensei, Kawashimo sensei is 7th Dan from Japan and visit our small dojo almost annually to help us learn.  For the moment, the schedule is to be announced, so please check back often as I find out more about the special practice with Kawashimo sensei next week.
