Kids Field Trip

Saturday,  July 3rd 2010

11 a.m. to 1 p.m.

On July 3rd, the Ninth Annual Shotokan Ohshima Dojo Kids Practice will be held at our world training facility.  This is truly one of the most beautiful dojos in the world, located in the hills of Santa Barbara and overlooking the ocean.  The event is a very special opportunity for all ‘shotokan kids’ to train directly under master Tsutomu Ohshima, the head of worldwide shotokan and our founder.  The practice will be 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and all are asked to bring a sack lunch to enjoy on the property afterwards overlooking the ocean.

 

The drive is about 2 ½ hours.  Adult family members who train also may participate in the practice.

The fee for the class is  $ 5.00 for white belts,  $ 10.00 for brown belts,  $15.00 for black belts.

KYU (BELT) GRADING
Saturday,  May 8th 2010

All Members Registration:   10:30 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.

 All Members Grading:   11:00 a.m. to end.

   Adults and Kids will grade together.

There will be a pizza party after grading!!

 

The gradings are held twice each year (April and November) and your annual membership fee covers the cost. Understand, this event is not a contest or an award ceremony, but a tool to enhance the study of Karate-Do. Students should prepare well and use grading and ranking to help motivate their daily training. Grading provides feedback on areas of strengths as well as weaknesses. We feel that all members will benefit by participating and should make every effort to attend.
