Recently our board voted to adopt a new logo, refreshing the one we have used for many years for a fresh update.

We opened submissions to our club members to submit designs that were then voted on as a club. We want to thank everyone who contributed designs, some of those submitted may be used around the dojo as contributed art to highlight and display the creativeness of some of our members.

We are proud to announce the winner of these vote and our newly adopted school logo.

Merry Christmas everyone

We will be closed for Christmas tomorrow, and New Year’s Day.
