Pictured here are those who attended the very first workout of the newly formed Crescent Moon Isshinryu Karate Association. Although the number was small, everyone seemed to enjoy being able to share in more attention from those teaching the classes. Read more about the workout in the Sensei’s Corner section below. |

October 28th, 2008
Saturday, October 18th, was the initial workout for an association that Shihan Glover has formed. The Crescent Moon Isshinryu Karate Association, as it has been named, is being formed to allow its members to reap more basic benefits such as discounted events participation that it sponsors, association testing for both kyu and dan grading, free Fall and Spring workouts, as well as instruction in Isshinryu by Shihan Glover’s top ranking yudansha. I have been asked to serve as the Vice-President for the CMIKA and want to encourage my students as well as any Isshinryu practitioners to become part of it to help it get off the ground. The spring workout is scheduled for March 2009 in Burlington. You may obtain more information about the CMIKA by writing to Mr. Glover at his e-mail address senseiglover@gmail.com or by visiting his website at www.bmac-nc.com.
