SELF DEFENSE SEMINAR

On Tuesday April 3rd at 7PM there will be a self-defense seminar being held at the North Sewickley Fire Hall, about 1 mile past Shakespears Restaurant. This seminar is a partnership between the Shotokan Karate of Ellwood and the North Sewickley Neighborhood Watch. All are welcome to attend and the seminar is free of charge. Please contact me with any questions.

JACKETS AND BAGS

Thanks to Mr. Marsh we now have jackets and bags with the clubs name on them, I have attached pictures showing what they look like. Jackets are $45 and the bags are $28.   If anyone is interested in purchasing please see me or Mr. Marsh.

Many Thanks

I want to thank all of you who helped sell pizza rolls for the people attending the East Coast Tournament.  The sale was a big success and the amount our club made from those sales will help take a big chunk out of expenses for those going. Also a special thanks to Mr. Hawrylak for coordinating the fundraiser.  Arigatou gozaimasu!
