Due to unique holiday schedule circumstances, our three Florida Ueshiro SRKUSA sister dojo[s] (Cocoa Beach, Cocoa YMCA, and Suntree YMCA) will be jointly holding special double end-of-the year workouts with Hanshi. All are welcome. Deshi of the three local dojo[s] are strongly encouraged to attend at least one of these workouts.
The first part of these double end-of-the-year workouts will take place this coming Thursday (Dec 21st) at 6:00 PM, during Hanshi's regularly scheduled workout, at the Cocoa Beach Dojo in the Cocoa Beach Rec Center. The Cocoa Beach Rec Center is located at 321 Ramp Road between South 5th Street and South 6th Street, off A1A. This workout will end by 7:30 PM due to a basketball tournament immediately following the workout. If any deshi strongly wish to bring snacks or drink to make a toast (Compai), it would have to be served after the workout in the parking lot due to the basketball tournament. I plan to be there to share with all of you in the Joy and Vigor!
The second part of these double end-of-the-year workouts will take place this coming Saturday (Dec 23rd) at 11:00 AM, during Hanshi's regularly scheduled workout, at the Cocoa YMCA Dojo. The Cocoa YMCA Dojo is located at 1519 Clearlake Road, Bldg. 18, Cocoa, FL 32922, (321) 433-7770. This workout will include a Compai with minor snacks and (non-alcoholic) drinks making toasts to the new year intermeshed with special kata performances. I plan to be there as well to share with all of you even more Joy and Vigor!
With all the special workouts mentioned above, Tomorrow's regular Wednesday evening 8:30 PM workout at the Suntree YMCA will still take place; Thursday morning's 6:00 AM workout at the Suntree YMCA is CANCELLED; Thursday evening's 7:00 PM workout at the Cocoa YMCA will take place; this coming Sunday Dec 24th 12:00 PM (noon) workout at the Suntree YMCA will take place.
