Once again, Satsuma Dojo is very fortunate to be able to host Kanazawa Hirokazu Kancho, founder, president and chief instructor of Shotokan Karate-Do International Federation.

On June 27-28, we invite you to join us as Kanazawa Kancho and his eldest son, Kanazawa Nobuaki Kancho, multiple-time world champion, offer seminars. Details and locations are still being discussed, but will be made available as they are ironed out.

Please see the attached flyer. If you have any questions or would like any additional information, feel free to contact me at 408-757-8073 or sensei.jay@satsumadojo.com.

Everyone who attends will be able to participate. We’ll do some kihon waza, kata and yakusoku kumite with the complexity depending on who shows up. The black belts will finish off the 30-minute demonstration with something we’re still developing.
 
The Cupertino Cherry Blossom Festival has a variety of other great and interesting demonstrations the entire weekend, and the festival also has a number of food booths and displays to peruse.
 
Again, I hope that you will be able to join us. Please RSVP so that I have a sense about the number of participants each day. And if you plan to attend, be at the stage 30 minutes early so that we can practice everything once beforehand.]]>webmaster@satsumadojo.comNone2009-03-13T14:14:27-07:00http://www.satsumadojo.com/events_files/6b2a4a1ea2002784707e91a718be3c3d-29.php#unique-entry-id-29http://www.satsumadojo.com/events_files/6b2a4a1ea2002784707e91a718be3c3d-29.php#unique-entry-id-29

UPDATE ::
Water came into both sides of this area. Workers have removed all the inside wall covering from the floor to the ceiling around the exit doors and storage room. The water flooded the north and south areas of this part of the gym. The wood floor expanded and there is a huge wave buckle in the floor right in the middle between the north and south parts of the floor. Along the wall, by the dressing rooms, the floor is a good 2-3 feet above the ground level with the bow running out about 1/3 of the way into the total gym floor. It is an amazing to see the stress the expanding wood placed on the floor.

UPDATE x2 ::
OSS! Unfortunately the CNC has shut down again due to more damage found by the contractors making repairs.
We do not know when it will open up again for us, but will communicate as I know more. We and the CNC staff apologize for the schedule changes.
