We have new a/c on the mat, so training in the summer is much better. We replaced our mat last year and the whole dojo pitched in to put it on. We would like to thank all our members for the invaluable help they provide to our dojo.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We're also going to put more exciting videos of some of our training so everyone can get a look at what vigorous training is like.
