Message from Hanshi Robert Scaglione Greetings
to all. On behalf of the
Sensei, and the deshi of Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate Sincerely, Ueshiro Hong Kong Karate Club Greetings
from It is confirmed
that Senpai Lyle Kleusch, Kaplan Sensei and Hanshi will come to Domo Arigato Onegai
Shimasu Hanshi, Kyoshi, Shihan, Sensei, & Sempai Congratulations
are in order to the following Pine Forest Karate Dojo deshi successfully
receiving new ranks in February 2006:
Special thanks to
the deshi who did not test and displayed remarkable unselfishness by
supporting those who were testing. In all, thirty deshi participated in the
Rank Promotion. In martial arts it
is often discussed that we should not rest on our laurels of reaching the next
level, but to continue on in our quest for perfection and self understanding.
("If your opponent is training ten times, then you must train one
hundred".) May you enjoy your new kata, while not leaving behind those
you know so well. Arigato PS/MS 27 Karate Club Onegai Shimasu
Hanshi, Kyoshi, Sensei, Sempai, and Deshi- I am proud to
announce that today Monday, February 27, 2006 I held the first ever Karate
“choice” (an elective) at PS/MS 27. I had 12 students on the deck
doing Shorin-Ryu USA Karate. I will have these same students three times a
week for “choice” on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays from
10:20-11:20. The students are 7th and 8th graders who are interested in
learning Karate. This choice cycle will run for six weeks. Once we are up and
running I will inquire about the possibility of having guest visitors to our
dojo. I am really excited about having this opportunity to teach Karate in
the public school system during the school day. Domo Arigato

And a big thanks
to Ruilong Ma, Tracy Pletcher, and Jeffrey Ma for assisting with the judging
of the test. Thanks also to Patrick Zhao, Noah Kaplan, and Michael Ma for
helping out before and during the test. We continue to
train in a facility which is now a massage school, but was originally built
as a state police barracks. The shoes off policy of the building and the
health and wellness orientation of all who enter the building suit us quite
nicely. Domo Arigato

Roku-Dan Downtown Karate Dojo Aloha from 2006 started off
with great spirit at the Downtown Karate Dojo. Workouts have been highly
spirited and filled with energy that encompasses what Shorin Ryu Karate is
all about. This past February
21, 2006, we welcomed to deshi to their new ranks. We congratulate Roi Globen
for all his hard training to successfully pass his test for Green
Belt(yon-kyu). We also congratulate Brent Takara for a great display of
technique and successfully passing his test for Brown tips(san-kyu) We continue to
look forward to this level of training throughout 2006 to only grow stronger
each class. We conduct classes
on Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30pm-7:00pm. For a limited time we are running
a great "buddy special" where two individuals can sign up for the
price of one (valid on all 6 month and 1 year memberships). We hope this will
help increase our deshi count for 2006. I wish all
Directors and Deshi a very high spirited 2006. May we all continue to move
forward in our strong spirit of Traditional Okinawan Matsubayashi Shorin Ryu.
