monthly events & Life Skills
Themes
Each month, the Dojo celebrates "monthly themes" to
encourage students to stretch far beyond their comfort
zones and to reach for goals that help perfect their
character...both as a martial artist and human being in
general.
Please take note of the Dojo's upcoming "monthly
themes" for the '10 - '11 season:

Martial Arts has helped provide food, shelter and
education to children in Nepal. During the week of
September 22- 27th, students discuss ideas and actions
that they can implement to help "Change the World!".

and friends in relation to how many push ups they can

by the students. Collection Drive begins December 1st -
