This week is 'Testing Week' here at the dojo, so make sure that you are in and working hard in your classes for your tip or belt test this week! And don't forget those Home Achievement Charts and/or Belt Testing Sheets!! For all students that pass their rank/belt tests this week, they will be invited along with their friends and family to our monthly graduation ceremony, held this Friday evening at the dojo from 6 to 7 pm. We look forward to seeing you there! Don't forget about our summer lunchtime classes, they run Mon-Thurs from 12-1 for all ADVANCED students, 6-8, 9-12, Teen, and Adult! They're a great way to make up some extra classes over the summer or to free up your evenings for some fun summer activities. Hope you have a great week everyone, see you at the dojo! Kyle

Throwback Thursday Pics of the Week - My first trip to Kyoto, Japan, back in 2004 for the 1st World Youth Butokusai. We all can't wait until we are back at the Heian Jingu Shrine when we visit again in May 2020!

An interesting atricle, give it a read! - https://kotaku.com/hideo-kojima-explains-how-spider-man-is-similar-to-japa-1836125506 Hideo Kojima Explains How Spider-Man Is Similar To Japanese Superheroes By: Brian Ashcraft - Kotaku East Out of all American superheroes, there is one that many in Japan seem to like best: Spider-Man. But why? In a recent interview, Hideo Kojima explains how Spider-Man is like Japanese heroes, which might explain the character’s appeal to local audiences. How better to explain this than a man whose Twitter profile says his body is made of 70 percent movies? Kojima told Famitsu how the first X-Men movie was a stylish motion picture that appealed to adults. “As for Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man, the age bracket dropped slightly and it was a youth fantasy film,” Kojima said. “I’m not saying that derisively, as I really like Raimi’s Spider-Man.” In particular, he was moved by Spider-Man 2.

Rich superheroes or superheroes without flaws are less appealing to him, Kojima says. Besides Spider-Man, he is also a fan of the Flash, adding that he liked the character’s recent TV series. “Don’t you think how Spider-Man was originally a normal person who, because of an accident, became a masked superhero has similarities to Kamen Rider?” asked Kojima. Kamen Rider is a regular person who was kidnapped by an evil terrorist organization and turned into a grasshopper mutant who then escapes, dons a mask and battles evil. Obviously, he doesn’t mean that the Spider-Man and Kamen Rider are the same (they are very, very different), nor does it necessarily matter which was first, because there are enough thematic similarities that make the American character appealing to those who grew up with masked Japanese heroes, like the iconic characters Kamen Rider (literally “Masked Rider”) or “Tiger Mask” (a do-gooder wrestler in a tiger mask). I’d also add that t
