Osu All Toshindo Family!

Upcoming Events

Wood Breaking Night

Woodbreaking night is scheduled for Friday December 7, 2007. Mark the date and come out and break some boards! We want to have more people participate in this event. Especially if you have never done it. Test your own strength, speed and accuracy. It is a fun event!

Toshindo School Tournament

Sunday December 16, will be the Toshindo school tournament. The date had to be changed due to low student participation. Hopefully the new date will allow more students to participate. This will be a great opportunity to try your skills and experience competition under Shihans direction in our own dojo with fellow students. Parents please encourage your children to try the tournament. It is actually fun and everyone who participates goes home with a trophy!!
Tournament time will be 10am to 3pm with specific arrival times and divisions to be announced.
The fee for the tournament will be $30 for 1 event, $50 for 2 events, and $65 for three events.
You can sign up in the office with Mrs. Bea.

Team Toshindo

If you would like to be a part of Team Toshindo talk to Shihan or me. We are still looking for some beginner competitors.
Team requirements are:
Team Gi, Team practices, Team spirit. All team members should support other team members.

I will be trying to set up team practice times for early next year since there are a lot of other outside activities going on right now. Practice your techniques and the kata you know. Try to get your stances low and tight. Lock and hold kicks for at least 1 sec. I want all who are on the team or who want to be on the team to make a committeemen to try to attend practices and practice at home. This is the only way to improve.

Shihan and I are going to try and introduce some new and exciting things for the team in the next few weeks.
