Just found out that we won’t have training on two Saturdays in May. As happens from time to time, Momilani Rec Center has events that conflict with our schedule: on Sat, May 6 there’ll be a garage sale fundraiser, and on Sat, May 13, the center will have a craft fair. If your schedule allows, you are always welcome to train on a Monday evening. Another option would be to do some reading related to karate.<\/p>\n
Secondly, for those who forgot – or never knew, our group does have a website at www.hiskarate.com. Over a decade ago, one of our members, Kohai Donna (an excellent purple belt) happened to be a seasoned webmaster and graciously offered to build and maintain a website for us. Over the last 11-12 years, she has faithfully done so, mostly gathering up my occasional rambling emails and formatting these into a single resource that members new and old, can access to read up on mostly karate-related thoughts. In fact, some years ago, Sempai Kevin was looking for a Shotokan dojo to visit and possibly train in and he happened upon the site and ultimately joined us – today, he is one of our sempais! As it turns out, in addition to being a systems administrator, he is also knowledgeable about websites and graciously volunteered to take on administration duties for the site. He has revamped\/updated the site, added in Sensei Peter’s bio, and is currently adding in various old photos from 30-45 years ago (hard to identify us when we were younger, haha). It amazes me how the Lord brought two such talented webmasters to our karate group and I can never thank Kevin or Donna enough. When you get a chance, please visit the site. BTW, Sensei Peter is working on a new patch design for HIS Karate Foundation to replace the old patch we had when we were still NHPC Shotokan 7-8 years ago. When done, it’ll bless the homepage of the site.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
