Northern California Representing at Summer Special Training West 2025

Three members of our dojo and more than 20 fierce friends from other dojos in the Bay Area traveled together to and participated in another intense Special Training in Southern California. Great comradery and strong feeling as usual, with a solid representation of white belts and first-time attendees: congrats to all of them and to all participants who made of this another unforgetable event. Thank you to Phil Schacht for his leadership and encouragement, and to all our seniors for the relentless attention and support. And thank you Moana Roberts for the great picture!
