Youth 10am (not including youth seeking green belt or higher)
Teens/Adults 12pm (Plus youth seeking green belt or higher)

Osu! Part of the USA contingent for the 6th Matsushima World Tournament took the opportunity to train in the original Kyokushinkaikan honbu dojo. So much history here, and amazing how many people were packed into such a small place when Sosai Oyama was alive. This is the first time we have had access, so a great opportunity to take it all in. Osu!

Osu! We are very excited for the World Tournament in Japan. We have an incredible group of fighters representing the USA, a bunch of folks grading for various black belts, as well as our Shihans refereeing. With so many of our dojo leaders in Japan we will be closed during America's Thanksgiving. We hope everyone has a wonderful time with friends and family, then comes back ready to work off all those extra feast calories.

November Schedule:
Sunday November 17 - Saturday November 22: Classes as Normal
Sunday November 23 - Saturday November 29: Dojo closed
Sunday November 30 and forward: Classes as normal

If you didn't pre-register, you can register at the door. Osu.
