Onegai shimasu! We have settled on the schedule for our May event, and we are expecting eleven fifteen guests to join us, including Kyoshi Michael Mackay, Kyoshi Kevin Reymond, several high-level black belts from New York, Connecticut, and Florida, as well as two Sho Dan candidates who will test for their black belts, and a candidate for San Dan. There are another two Northfield candidates testing for black belt as well. It will be an exciting weekend!
