New dojo

Today we moved downstairs into our new dojo. The new dojo gives us more mat space and a new 1/2" underlay to cushion falls. The space is cooler in the Summer and will be warmer in the Winter.

If you have not been around in a while, come and help us break in the new dojo. It's on the second floor, far right corner.

Look forward to training with you all,


Vic
