What a great practice this Saturday led by Carl Johnson. We welcomed Charlotte Lavallee for her first karate practice in ten years. Charlotte began practice under Carl Johnson at Longview Community College where she was a student and Carl led the Longview Dojo, also teaching college students like Charlotte as part of the PE program there. She’d remembered Carl and wanted to get back to practice. Awesome!!

Carl led us through 10 of each basic block punch and kick, several of the nidan renzokuwaza combination techniques, and MANY kata before we said goodbye to the Zoom participants and paired up to make sanbon gumite and jiyu-ippon gumite. This is a strong group!
