This coming Friday, November 21, we will be having our monthly in-class shiai (tournament) one of our most popular events. The Hajime and Chibi students will have their sumo competition at 5:30 followed by the Honto judo team competition at 6:30. All of our Honto students are now required to attend at least one competition every three months to qualify for promotion. This Friday’s shiai counts towards that requirement. Everyone is welcome!
During the month of November we will be giving out Hanabi’s “Golden Gift Cards.” We will be handing them out to our members who can then gift them to a friend for a free month of judo. They are beautifully printed in both English and Japanese.
Hanabi will be hosting a week of “PokeCamp” in Albany during winter break from December 29-January 2. Like our popular summer camp, we will have judo and art activities – such as origami and anime – related to Pokemon.
