I can't believe it's already been five years! The Empty Hand Family Karate Studio officially opened on January 1st, 2011. Sensei will be celebrating our dojo's first half-decade with a combined New-Year's Eve class, for all Empty Hand students. After that, we're ringing in 2016 with an open-house, New Year's Day kata-thon!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

We will have one combined class at The Empty Hand tonight (New Year's Eve) from 6:30 to 7:45. On New Year's Day (tomorrow), I'm going to open the dojo at 8:30 and try to get through 75 kata between 9 AM and 11:00 AM. The dojo will be open to anyone who wants to train with me, including our friends from other clubs. I haven't done 75 kata in one stretch in a long time and I'm curious if I can pull it off. I'd love to have company for the attempt!

Have an awesome 2016!

Sensei Elliott
