What a beautiful fall day! The Demos were awesome and everyone seem to have a good time. Special thanks to the Adult Japanese Fan Class and to the GoShinKan Kids and Adults. Great Job!
This being the last demo of the year, we have a lot to reflect on and learn from. It has been a totally awesome year for us at the AMA Dojo. We have had a really good year with the AMA Dojo’s National Karate Team.
As we grow, we should always remember how we started out and keep the standards that have allowed us to be successful. Tradition, Honor and Respect is the back bone of what we do and lays the ground work for the next generation.
I would like to thank all the Students, Moms and Dads that have given the dojo their precious time to help with demos and events it is because of your generosity that we continue to thrive.
Thanks,
Soke Stacy J. Huffman
The AMA Dojo National Team wraps up the National Session with 6 National / World Champions. There still remains one tournament left and only one AMA Student qualifies to go the Internationals in Atlantic City New Jersey in three weeks.
All I can say is “Holly Toledo” What a crazy Year. Our six kids are now considered to be some of the best Martial Artists in the United States. I would like to say good job everyone!
Congratulations Sempai Richards Sr. on your triple crown!
Now its time to rest and take everything in that we learned from tournaments and make ourselves better for next session.
What a beautiful fall after noon! A special thanks to The Holts Summit Community Betterment Association for sponsoring such an event.
The Kids did great job and we look forward to next years Holts Summit Harvest Fest!
The AMA Dojo shows up in force and takes the competition head on and captures under Black Belt Grand Champion for the 4th year in a row.
It is always good to see local Dojos at an event such as this. It always brings out some great and friendly competition between schools.
Congratulation to our Triple Crown Winners
Congratulation to every who placed at the YMCA Karate Tournament!
