Photos on Karate Promotion and Joint Training (2/6/10)

It’s been a year .. JKA NorCal passed our first year anniversary 2/1/10. What better way to celebrate this milestone than to stand up and train! And train jointly with our Prime Time karate kids – to get to know them better, role model and demonstrate good techniques and training discipline they can aspire for. It was also a great opportunity for their family to meet & greet the rest of JKA NorCal members.

Many thanks to Prime Time for the pizza & cake for this celebration. And congratulations to all who received their new promotion ranks and acknowledgement for good training!

Photos are up from the promotion and joint training!!!
