On the board at the Dojo are some designs for new t-shirts for the Dojo. Sam before leaving left me/us with a heat press for doing transfers on t-shirts. Any suggestions for design changes please direct my way. We are looking at black ink on either a red, light blue, or tan shirt.
Thanks, Dennis
Detailed below are the supplies we require and the schedule for fixing the wall of the dojo along with cleaning and painting.
Need to purchase:
6 sheets of plywood (estimated, should measure and possibly revise)
Screws
Need to borrow:
Screw guns (maybe 3-4)
Need to purchase:
Dust Masks
Sponges on sticks (everything is better on a stick)
Cloths
Need to borrow:
Steam cleaner (Dennis?)
Ladders (Skip and Zach)
Need to purchase:
Paint (need to determine how much)
Rollers
Brushes
Masking Tape
Drop cloths (hopefully we can borrow these)
Perhaps a special class starting early
After class remove everything from walls and storage and place on ground/mat
Move everything from ground/mat to parking lot
Step 1:
Cleaning crew begins to clean the walls, steam the carpets and drapes, wipe down couches, pine-sol wood, and clean the storage area
Demo crew knocks out the wall
Step 2:
Painting crew begins to paint the walls
Building crew hangs the plywood
Step 3:
Once the plywood is hung and painting is finished everything must be moved back in from the parking lot
In the evening possible second coat if required
Touch ups if necessary
Rehang and store everything
Finish cleaning and perhaps mop the floors
This may also be a good time to install the mirror everyone has been talking about
Rather than rehanging the old boards, we can take this opportunity to update and add other boards
We need to figure out how to procure all of the supplies we require (commit to lending, donating, or using dojo funds)
We need to set a date for this to occur
Post questions, comments, suggestions, and possible dates in the accompanying forum post. Lets make this happen!

This is an AJJF sanctioned event. Current AJJF membership is required to participate.
We are planning Joseph’s Ikkyu exam for Saturday, March 19 at 6:00 pm. Everyone is welcome to watch. It is likely we will get some pizza & beer (or soda) afterwards.
This year’s convention was as always a great time. There was once again great instruction as well as plenty of time to connect with amazing people. Our dojo had a pretty good turnout, even three of our new white belts made the trip. For the second year in a row Joe won himself a free convention by winning his division in the National Freestyle Contest as well as having the highest score among kyu ranks. Congratulations to our new Godan Jeff Meyers, and our new Yodans Skip Maxfield and Chris Denz.
If anyone has any pictures from the event please post them or send them to me so that they may be shared with the rest of us.
I was able to capture a few of the rounds at Saturday’s Freestyle contest. The battery died about 2/3 through Dennis’s performance. Check out these YouTube videos:
We had a big turnout today for the Freestyle Tournament today over at the Chico Kodenkan.
Congratulations to Sean for winning the Blackbelt division and Chris for coming in 3rd.
In the Brown belt division Joe placed 2nd while Dennis placed 3rd.
Below are all the pictures off our camera which I didn’t bother to sort or edit due to laziness.
Join the forum discussion on this post The site has now been moved to the nibukikan domain (http://www.nibukikan.org/).
Everything should be working now, so members please sign up and begin utilizing our forums.
The new website now exists and is hidden somewhere in the interwebs. (http://www.js99.net/dojopress/) now http://www.nibukikan.org
At this point I basically copied most of the content over from the previous site with only a few minor changes. The site itself is by no means complete, and if there is anything you want added or changed please let me know. If you like, you can make your suggestions in comments here or our new forums. At this point however the best way to contact me is still in person or by phone/text but a comment or forum post beforehand would be a good way to express your idea and remind me of it until it is implemented.
Anyway, enjoy.
Zach
