Where did the Year Go?

Hello there. The year is almost over? When did that happen?
Anyway got a couple of updates for you. Here we go!


Congratulations to Sensei Katie and Sensei Brian!



You both did an amazing job and should be very proud. Keep setting a great example of what it means to be a BLACK BELT.







Congratulations to Sensei Tommy
and Sensei Scott!


These two hard working Black Belts got their Shodan (1st Degree) in Kumade Nobushi Kyokai.
And they're still looking for more. There is just no stopping them. I'm proud of you guys.




And Master Sparks received his Hachi-Dan
(8th Degree) in BOTH Fudoshin Kai and
Kumade Nobushi Kyokai! I just cant put into words how much Master Sparks has done for all of us and how much knowledge he has openly shared throughout the years. He truly is an awesome martial artist, amazing teacher, and most importantly a true friend to us all.

LONG LIVE THE KING!




Lastly I would like to thank ALL my students, those who made it to the party and those who could not, for the amazing gift you all got for me. It really does mean a lot to me. You all have no idea how much I care about each and everyone of you (and your families too). All I ever want is for all of you to be the best that you can be both inside the dojo and out. There is no other instructor who has better students/friends than me.
Thank You all very very much.
The party was a blast and there was so much that happened I wish I could mention it all. It just keeps getting better and better every year. The Nanticoke Dojo, the Mountaintop Dojo, and now the NEW Dallas Dojo! If it wasn't for the students we wouldn't be where we are today. Thank you all very much and have a safe and very happy holiday to you and all your family.
