Meeting Sifu Donnie Yen

by

This past Saturday, Hanshi Jim and some other members of Western New York Karate Center were fortunate enough to take a trip to Toronto, Canada to see a screening of Wu Xia. The screening was followed by a question and answer session by Sifu Donnie Yen. Hanshi Jim was even able to get an autograph and some pictures with Sifu!

Great test and class last night.

by

It was a very busy night last night at the dojo. There were four individuals that tested last night. Two were promoted to Blue Belt and two were promoted to 1st Degree Brown Belt.  While this was going on, Shihan Bill led a great class of White to Orange belts on basics. In addition, many other students practiced their material during the open workout class. A great night and congratulations to all those promoted.
