Thank you to all that attended and wish they could have attended our dojo picnic. We had roughly 200 students, family members and guests! July was by far our busiest month for events. You could say we are slowing it down a bit for August, but that depends on your definition of slowing down. A few music events, a booth at the Art in the Forest, a Kubaton class and a Tournament in Seattle. Check out some demo team video below…

Happy “Year-pass Eve”

admin — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 01:22:34 +0000

Tomorrow, January 26, 2009 marks the year 4707 on the traditional Chinese calendar. 2009 is the “The Year of the Ox” according to infoplease.com and ancient Chinese legend Buddha asked all the animals to meet him on Chinese New Year. Twelve came, and Buddha named a year after each one. He announced that the people born in each animal’s year would have some of that animal’s personality. Those born in ox years tend to be painters, engineers, and architects. They are stable, fearless, obstinate, hard-working and friendly.

Traditionally Chinese New Year is a time of family reunion and celebration. Use the resources below to learn more about the various traditional celebrations and gifts given during this, the most important of all Chinese Holidays.
