Budokai Club

Congratulations to Zacorey, Janaan, Vivian, Maja, and Emily (and Jonathan and Misael, not shown) for their promotions at the end of Fall semester!

This weekend senior Budokai members traveled to Selmer, Tennesse, for the Ogasawara-ha Shorinji Ryu Karate-do Fall Seminar. The seminar was led by three of the senior teachers of our style in the USA: our national director. Keoki Lincoln from the Goshinkan dojo in Iowa; Budokai head coach Brad Cahoon; and Alan Youngerman from the Isshinkaikan dojo, our hosts in Tennessee.

Congratulations to the Budokai's Charles Van Rees for testing successfully for the rank of Shodan (first-degree black belt) in Shorinji Ryu Karatedo. We're proud of you!

Congratulations to the Budokai club members who earned belt promotions at the December 2 test. Let's keep training hard in 2025!
