The Dojo Renovation. There are no changes in the Dojo currently, but we still are chomping at the bit to get more work done.  

 Schedule and Classes.  The Kenpo Karate Beginners class has been a success and will continue to be held on Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:00-6:00 p.m.  T’ai Chi classes have been combined to Mondays from 6:15-7:45 p.m.  JKI Japanese Sword classes will held from 7:30-9:00 p.m. on Wednesdays with Sensei Lori Mitchell.   For information about her class, please call her at 756-7097.  Please see the new schedule on the inside page of this newsletter. 

JBJ DOJO visiting Instructors. Due to the time of year and the difficulty for many students we were unable to host Chris Luth for a T’ai Chi Push Hands workshop this year.  Kyo Sa Andy Hamer presented a Korean self-defense workshop in November.  The workshop was very well attended and it was excellent.  Other potential presenters include but are not limited to Von Krenner Sensei, Mitchell Sensei, and possibly Jewett Sensei, Sifu Arundel, and Higginbotham Sensei.

Nidan Miller, Shodans Zumwalt, Thomas, Evans, Haaven, Johnson, Christenson, Fortenberry, Ensign, & Hilton.  Christopher Miller recently visited Thailand and trained in Muay Thai for three weeks.  He seemed pretty excited by the experience.  He expects to visit soon.    Travis Zumalt visited this fall with his wife and two children.  He was looking at the possibility of moving here but has moved to Oregon l think.  I received a short e-mail from Scott Thomas and look forward to hearing more from him.  Jordan Evans visited during the Holiday break.  He is still working in Bozeman as a research engineer.
