NEW MATTED DOJO FLOOR
I want to thank everyone that purchased T-Shirts and hoodies through the fundraiser and the special donation that we received which allowed us to purchase the new matted floor and street sign on the pole. This floor will protect the kids from falls and relieve some stress off the joints of the older students.

H. JAMES YOUNG VISIT
July 27th, 2015
Maryland based martial arts instructor and competitor, H. James Young will be visiting American Karate the week of July 27th through the 31st. Master Young has been in the martial arts for over 35 years. He has studied various martial arts and Japanese/Okinawa weapons. He has trained to use almost anything as a weapon from a rolled up newspaper or magazine to chop sticks, fountain pen or man’s pant belt. We look forward to his visit.
STATE GAMES OF AMERICA
August 2015
The National Congress of State Games will be hosting the 2015 State Games of America in Lincoln, Nebraska. The biennial multi-sport festival will take place July 28–August 2, 2015. All gold, silver and bronze medalists from National Congress of State Games Member State programs (Winter and Summer) in 2013, 2014 and prior to July 1 of 2015 are eligible to compete in SGA 2015. If you are planning to attend the State Games of America, continue polishing up your empty hand and weapons kata as well as drills for sparring.
FITNESS IS AN ATTITUDE CLOSING
The fitness side of American Karate will be closing effective August 31st. There did not seem to be enough support for Aerobic Kick Boxing and general fitness boot camps. For those that have been training on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons at 4:15 we will continue to get together at that time.
