All things are possible if you just keep going!
We’d like to introduce the newest Shidoshi in our dojo!
Shidoshi McGruer is the embodiment of what it means to have a true Budo heart. Despite many obstacles, including past health challenges, he has continued to persevere, remain dedicated, and show up with unwavering determination.
This past month, at the Shiraishi Taikai in Seattle, he successfully passed his Sakki test — a tremendous accomplishment and a moment we are beyond overjoyed and proud to celebrate with him.
Congratulations, Shidoshi McGruer! Your perseverance and dedication are an inspiration to us all. Gambatte kudasai!
