On Sunday, October 21st, Seido celebrated their 36th anniversary at John Jay College in NY. Kyoshi Karen had the privilege of getting her picture with the male and female grand champions of fighting, Kyoshi Chris and Senpai Maura. Abe Novick, from our dojo competed in both kata and kumite divisions. He did a fabulous job and had a wonderful experience. Several other Towson students made the trip to NY to support Kaicho and Nidaime in this celebration. Thanks to all for your support! Osu!

The celebration tournament will take place on Sunday, October 21st at John Jay College.

Kyoshi Karen would like to encourage all adults to participate either by competing or volunteering. Children can participate in the demonstration.
