Back to regular training

It seems that Weber State is finished using their community center as a storage locker so we can resume training there.  The next class will be Saturday, August 4th at 7 P.M.  After that we will resume our regular training schedule of Monday, Wednesday and Saturday from 7-8:30 P.M.

Saturday night training site

Thanks to David Douglas we have a place to train on Saturday nights.  We will be training at the LDS church at Polk avenue and Kingston drive in Ogden.  If you head east on 36th street then turn north on Polk avenue, you will see it right away.  The access to a room with extremely high ceilings we now have calls for more practice of bikenjutsu and maybe a naginata technique or two.  Hope to see everyone there Saturday at 7 p.m.

Training Interruption

Starting on April 23^rd, the downstairs of the community center will be closed as it will be used for storage of furniture moved from the, soon to be demolished, promontory tower. Saturday, April 21^st will be the last day we will be able to train at the community center for about the next four months. We are working to find an alternative location until the community center becomes available again at the start of the fall semester.

Congratulations Brooklynn

The Haruka Dojo sends congratulations to Brooklynn Opheikens on her successful test for the 5^th kyu in Genbukan Ninpo Bugei Taijutsu. We look forward to more progress from her in the future as she prepares for the formidable 4^th kyu.

Congratulations, David

The Haruka Dojo would like to congratulate David Smith on his successful test for the 6^th kyu in Genbukan Ninpo Bugei Taijutsu. We look forward to more progress from him in the future as well as from the rest of the students in the dojo.

Quote for the new year

I thought I would start off the dojo's blog for the year with a quote from a practitioner of a related style:


"The way of the sword does not belong to any one type of person, knowledge of the arts belongs to us all." Christa Jacobson

Hopefully, in the coming year we will be able to share our art with several new faces as well as some familiar ones who haven't been practicing for a while.

Christmas Eve

Just a quick note to let everyone know the Haruka Dojo will be calling off classes on Saturday, December 24th.  To end the year on a positive note, classes will be held on Saturday December 31st for those diligent practitioners who want to fit one more day of practice into 2011.
