Thanks to all of the students and their families for making our Annual Dojo BBQ a success this year.  Special thanks go out to Sensei Martin for the cooking BBQ tri-tip, Sempai Rowe for preparing the ribs and hotdogs, and to all of the families who brought delicious dishes to share. Additionally, thank you to all of the people who helped with setup, takedown, decorations, cleaning and to Sempai Nichols for conducting the youth games!  Pictures of the event will be posted on the Japan Ways website soon!
