Upcoming Events in the New Year

Welcome to 2019!
We hope everyone had a great holiday season. We have many events planned for this year we and we look forward to doing more outreach in the Martial Arts community as well. We hope you will plan to join us. 

2018 by the Numbers

• We hosted 6 Black Belt College Sessions with on average 20 people attending each session. 
• Hanshi Stevenson & Hanshi Llewelyn taught roughly 15 seminars or training sessions equalling roughly 75 hours of instruction each - in addition to their regular teaching duties. 
• We had 4 Competition Team Trainings and attended 3 major local tournaments and mentored about 20 students on an ongoing basis in kata and kumite competition strategies. 
• We had 185 registered members and 14 registered dojos and many others with students who registered independently to attend our events. 
• There were 14 ISKA-sanctioned Dan rank promotions -6 shodan, 3 nidan, 5 sandan and many kyu rank promotions. 
• We invited 2 outside instructors to join us at a couple of our events this year - Coach/Sensei Tony DeSousa (May Thai, MMA, Karate, & Tae Kwon Do) to our June Black Belt College session and Sensei Rick Hotton (Karate & Aikido) to our 30th Annual ISKA Summer Camp (held at a new location this year). 
• Our YouTube Channel received 13, 200 views with over 28,000 minutes of viewing time in 2018.

Here's to hoping that 2019 is even better than 2018!
We have a similar schedule to last year's lineup of events, with one minor change: This year's Black Belt College series has been revised to a quarterly schedule - a slight departure from the bimonthly schedule that we held for the past 2 years.

We do also intend to hold some additional training sessions addressing Bunkai Training, but not explicitly a part of the Black Belt College sessions. Stay tuned for details on this. 

Our 2019 tentative event schedule is linked below. 
We ​look forward to training with you all in the year ahead!
