Kendo Seminar with Tiger Kempo
On January 22, 2012 Koshowarrior students got the priviledge to participate in a free Kendo seminar. Tiger Kempo in Gardiner Maine, put on a free seminar and invited the students of Koshowarrior's Martial Arts to attend.
Sensei Josh Webb and Sensei Gabe Weigan started the event with traditional Japanese sword nomenclature, terminology, mechanics and concepts. The event then moved into Iaido practice, working on the drawing and sheathing as well as movement involving the sword. Finally the students were able to run through freestyle Kendo sparring.
This event was a great opitunity for two family members to collaborate and bond. The students of Koshowarrior's Martial Arts greatly appreciates the time and energy both Sensei Josh and Sensei Gabe showed to us and hopes that we will be able to collaborate more in the future! Sensei Hoover and Sensei Josh are already working on that goal.

DOJO EVENTS
SCHEDULE CHANGE
Starting the second week in February the Adults class is merging with the Jr. Adults class. The new class time will be Mondays and Wednesdays from 6pm to 7pm.
Factors that influenced the change, one: the change is an experiment to see if a earlier time slot would be better for people. Two: Sensei Hoover wants to connect more parents and their children in a structured activity for bonding and shared experiences.
Sensei would like any help to promote the new class so please get the word out! Help get more people to join our dojo family.
