New Thursday Class Schedule – Starting 2/9

Our Thursday classes are very popular, especially the 5pm class with the PeeWees and Juniors. And that has meant that not everyone has the opportunity to attend in person.

In an effort to make sure that more students can attend in person and to give everyone a good class experience, we are splitting this class into two, one for each program.

Congratulations to Our College-Bound Students

Our college-bound students enjoying their gift baskets

What an honor it was to send these beautiful, strong and intelligent young adults “Off to College” with a celebration.

We reminded them on how much spirit and energy they have brought to the dojo during their 10 years of training & teaching. And how important they have been to the success of the dojo during that time.

We also reminded them that their Seido family and community is here for them if they need us as they venture out to start this new chapter of their lives

And most importantly, we reminded them that they always have the dojo as a place to call home! Their foundations are strong! Now go change the world with your beautiful spirits! Osu!
