About five years ago these two junior students started on their karate journeys. (As per the photos attached to this post, you can see how much they’ve grown.) Then back on Friday, September 11, 2026 they took and passed their red belts tests while visiting the Genbu-Kai Dojo in Hillsborough, New Jersey during the yearly seminar / awards dinner weekend there. This week they were awarded the rank of Shonenbu Sho Dan Ho (probationary red belts). Congratulations Lincoln & Blake!

Yesterday, one of our dojo’s students, Douglas, was fortunate to get the opportunity to train with Sensei David Jones while on vacation in North Carolina. He got to do karate, weapons (Tekko & Sai), and Batto-Do in a marathon 2 ½ hour session. Douglas was thrilled with the training and later described the experience as “GREAT”. A big THANK YOU to Sensei Jones for taking the time to teach Douglas!

Getting caught up on posts…..Back in February, Sensei Brooke traveled to Cailfornia for the Hombu Dojo’s yearly seminar / tournament weekend from the 19th – 22nd. Sensei Brooke attended all eight seminars and competed in the Batto tournament. She won third place in kata (san dan & above mixed division) and second place in cutting (women’s sho dan & up division).
