Karate is much more than an after school class for Uta, it is a second home. When he is there he shines. Since he began training at the dojo a year ago, his confidence has grown in leaps. He has found his own voice, and is sincerely proud of all he has accomplished. I never thought I'd be a fan of Karate, but Uta's teacher makes trying your best and caring for others core principles of his teaching. He manages to keep a serious atmosphere in class, but not without joy and good humor. It is an impressive balance. Uta takes it all to heart.

Yesterday was the annual holiday party at the dojo. For Uta it was a homecoming. He hasn't been to class in three weeks! It was good to be back.
