We hope there will be more locations as to allow more to participate. Host a "Special Winter Training" allow more to particapte during the week. Then everyone converge into one or a couple of main locations. Greater participation through greater accesability. Continue to pass on & grow the Tradition.

Central Dojo "Special Winter Training" Memory
During Winter Training Week, just before one of the Advanced, night class was going to start. There were only a couple of us on the floor. Sensei was standing in the corner near the large front window. He was rubbing his hands warming up, he was loosening up, his hair was not as perfectly combed as it would be in the early morning class. He gave a little yawn and said "nobody show up? what's the point?" He gave the short laugh and smirk/ smile (you know the one).He was referring to that "Winter Special Training was not to replace our regular training with the early morning training. But it was to add to our regular training. I learned how "Special it all was. Imaging he had been to everyone since 1961and taught classes, plus the ones when he was in Japan. Continue to pass on and grow the Tradition.
If you have a story to tell please share.
