Wasenshikan Dojo

CONGRATULATIONS BLACK BELTS!! Tonight we celebrated our new black belts: Michael - Shihan, Lincoln - Shihan, Rebecca - Sensei, Connor - Shodon, Silas - Shodon, and Joshua - Shodon.

We are so proud of all our students, and tonight want to recognize these six for their dedication, hard work, and character. Our Yudansha wake up at 4:00 to train (Rebecca) or step in to take over class at a moment's notice (Michael) and so many other big and small demonstrations of what makes our dojo community strong. Thank you for all you do and CONGRATULATIONS!!

There will be no Advanced class on 3/19.

Congrats to our second round of test candidates (delayed due to illness) - Korie, Cora, Will!

And we did a winter challenge to increase overall fitness and practice. It was also a great opportunity for black belts to learn about fair assessment, which can be tricky!

And the winner was... 🥁 ... WILL! The prize was a belt display. Great work 🥋!

Congrats to tonight's testing candidates Judson, Everett, Raelynn, Silas, Connor, and Daniel! Way to go!

Because we had weather cancellation, we are pushing back testing till January. Tonight will be pretesting.

Cedar rapids community School district is letting out early for weather. So again, we are cancelling. While I hate to cancel, I be would rather my students be safe. Remember tho, just because you're not in the dojo, it doesn't mean you can't train!

Per dojo policy, we are cancelling classes for tonight due to the weather. Stay safe and warm everyone!

Proud of all the karateka at testing tonight! The focus was technique demonstration under pressure. Congrats Joshua, Daniel, Will, Cooper, Ava, Parker, Odin and Everett!
