Osu Shihans, Senseis, Sempais, Kohais, and Toshindo Family and Supporters! 

 

A PERSONAL NOTE FROM SHIHAN -

Black Belt Promotions took place on Sunday, March 17. It is indeed an
honor to announce the following Black Belt Promotions, in particular, four of my Sensei's who have been part of this Dojo for many years, and who continue to instruct, train and support Toshindo with the highest level of respect
and commitment. My congratulations to you all!

 

With great pride, I announce the following Black Belt Promotions:

Sensei Paul Geller - Yodan to Godan (4th to 5th Degree Black Belt)

Sensei Alberta Prieto - Sandan to Yodan (3rd to 4th Degree Black Belt)

Sensei Rowan McClain - Sandan to Yodan (3rd to 4th Degree Black Belt)

Sensei Stephen Coveney - Sandan to Yodan (3rd to 4th Degree Black Belt)

Sempai Dominick Cardon - Shodan to Nidan (1st to 2nd Degree Black Belt)

Sempai Edward Maffia - Shodan to Nidan (1st to 2nd Degree Black Belt)

 

Sempai Joshua Dalal - #4 Kyu Brown to Shodan

As a footnote, you will note that Sempais Dom Cardon and Ed Maffia continue to train, further proving their commitment to higher learning and perfecting of their martial arts skills.

Finally, congratulations to Sempai Josh Dalal! There are four Dalal family
members training with us! Sister Anya received her Yellow Belt on Saturday, March 16. With Sempai Josh's promotion to Shodan, the Dalal family is
now a two Black Belt family! Brother Sempai Alex, Shodan, participated and
supported his brother Josh. Younger brother Ryan is a rising Brown Belt working toward his Black Belt Promotion.

Congratulations again! I am extremely proud of all my Junior students
on their achievement!

It should also be mentioned that Both Senseis Paul and Rowan shared a birthday on Sunday March 17, so we also wished them a Happy Birthday!

 

Please welcome new students

Thank you!

 

Tuition was due Saturday April 6,.  Please make every effort to make payments on time.

Tuition is due by the 5th of every month.  The month encompasses the 1st day of the month to the last day of the month.  Monthly tuition is not prorated.  Whether your child attends 4 times a month or 16 times, the fee is the same and should be paid at the beginning of the month.  Preferably the 1st class you attend of that month but no later than the 5th of that month. 

 

If you start a month , no matter what day of the month you start, and take 1 class, you are liable for the entire months tuition.  Since Toshindo  has no way of determining individual plans, it is your responsibility to see that the student attends the classes for the month.  Toshindo does not bill for individual classes.  Taking classes in any portion of a calendar month requires that Months tuition to be paid on full.

 

Toshindo does not require you sign extended contracts to participate but we do require that the  fee schedule is adhered to.  Toshindo believes that our prices are the most affordable around and would appreciate prompt payment so that we can continue to offer such great Training at an affordable price.   Payments for promotions are due prior to taking your promotion tests.    

  

Thank you!

Shihan understands that lateness sometimes cannot be helped but please make every effort to try and report for class on time.    Shihan understands that classes may run longer than scheduled, if you must leave please let an instructor know.  Shihan understands that everyone has other responsibilities but we want to make sure that you get at least 1 hour of training in.  Thank you all!
