Dear students and families,

Because of the inclement weather, there will be no classes on Monday, January 26.

Stay safe and warm at home.

Sensei

Dear students and families,

This is just a reminder that the "Bring Your Buddy Night" that was scheduled for this Monday on Jan 26, has been moved to Monday, Feb 02, due to the inclement weather.

Classes may be cancelled, depending on the weather. Just as a guideline, if the Trussville city schools are closed, then the dojo will be closed as well.

Updates will be posted on this page as the storm gets closer.

Or, if you prefer messaging, e-mailing, or calling me, that's fine as well.

With the holidays coming up, this would be a great time to give the gift of authentic, traditional martial arts training to your family and friends.

At Hirano Ha Karate of Trussville, we strive to give our students the highest quality instruction in the proven art of Shotokan Karate.

The training is appropriate for people of all ages (4 and up), and we strive to develop our students in the best way possible, to break previous limits, and transcend beyond.

Our instruction uses proven methods that focus on character development, physical conditioning, and improvement of one's mental discipline, as well as the learning of valuable self-defense skills.

We pride ourselves on optimizing the training program for each of our students, and that our students will be engaged in training throughout all of the class, not just for a few minutes at a time.

We also believe in fair pricing practices. Our tuition rates are very reasonable, and we absolutely do not use mandatory contracts. You simply pay month to month, and any equipment purchases (extra uniforms, sparring pads, etc) are always sold at a very reasonable cost as well.

Please feel free to ask us for a free trial lesson! We are always happy to accommodate such requests, and encourage people to try one to see how we operate.

Thank you.

Dear students and families,

We will be holding the "Bring Your Buddy" event Monday, August 18, 2025.

Everyone (and their friends) will get to go through a first day lesson as a group, and of course, each student is more than welcome to help coach their friends.

Pizza will be served after the lesson is over, of course!

The event will start at 6 PM.

Please make sure you sign up by today, just so that I can get an approximate head count.

Thank you.

Dear students and families,

The t-shirts have arrived. Please pick them up the next time you are in class.

The t-shirts have finally been shipped out as of this morning by UPS. I should have them in the dojo later on this coming week.

Thank you for your patience on this.
