Dear Everyone,

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! I hope you’re enjoying this festive season with your loved ones.

Thank you all for supporting our Christmas party and bringing such delicious snacks. A special thank you to Anna for organizing the fantastic games, and to Henry for providing the wonderful Christmas music. If anyone has a group picture from the event, please share it on the “J.R.’s Karate Club” Facebook page. We would love to see it!

I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome the following new members to our club:

• Sensei Jeff Messner, Sandan (3rd Dan) Wado-ryu
• Sensei Jovi Otite, Nidan (2nd Dan)in Wado-ryu, Shodan (1st Dan) Poom KUKKIWON’s Taekwondo, Shodan (1st Dan) Taekwondo Jidokwan Federation

I am confident that their expertise will greatly benefit our club, and we will continue to progress in calisthenics, kata, and kumite.

Enjoy the holidays, and I look forward to seeing you all next year on January 7, 2025.

Your truly,
Sensei Joe
