Our first training sessions in the new location was taught by Shihan Phil Legare and Shihan Joanne Legare running from 1-5pm.

Doors opened at 10am with the Traditional Japanese Blessing starting at 10:30.

A celebration dinner completed the Grand Opening Saturday evening.

Dinner was a pre-registration event catered at a beautiful private residence in downtown San Diego on the 32nd floor overlooking the San Diego Bay. What a fantastic evening!
