The Battle for Sidewalk Supremacy (Dojo Closed 1/27/26)

This morning, I was accosted by snow going almost all the way over my boots, and I regret to inform you all that Sanchin stepping did very little to help in clearing snow.

The snow as measured by our front door, for reference.

I ended up shoveling like a normal person, but I was not very happy about it. Rest assured, though, that when you all return the sidewalk will be both salted and shoveled! Until then, stay home, stay safe, and enjoy this picture that I took while looking longingly out of our front door, missing all of your faces.

I cannot. (See, that is)

Since we close when Wyoming Public Schools closes due to weather, we are once again closed for weather today. Dang, you Thursday people got lucky this week! Stay home, sip that hot cocoa, and bury yourself in ten blankets.

While you’re sipping that hot cocoa, why not recall that there will be hot tea tomorrow at the dojo? It is free for you guys, and it’s still happening as of this writing, since I am currently in the office ensuring that our heater works and that our building will not be If you haven’t yet registered and would like to attend, click here.

If we do end up needing to cancel the event (which may happen if Sam cannot get here from the icy wasteland of Muskegon), I will text everyone who is registered, hopefully well before you get into your car to head toward the dojo.

Thank you all, as always, for being members of the dojo! We look forward to seeing you next week!

The Storm Continues…

And so we shall wait for the icy veil to lift, allowing us to once again see the horizon and find our way to the hallowed halls of the karate dojo.

Please note that putting your karate gi out in the snow is not a good way to bleach it. I wish that was the case, because then we would all look great in our crisp and shiny uniforms upon our return!

In any event, the dojo will be closed 1/20/26 due to weather. We hope that everyone is continuing to stay safe during this winter storm!
