These are just an assortment of pictures that we all liked and wanted to view again. This page is just like someone's family albums. You don't have to look if you don't want to!

These are just pictures that bring back fond memories.


Billy Johnson Sensei.

This is a picture of Johnson Sensei the day he earned his Shodan. Billy is the Supervisor Deputy U.S. Marshal in the district.

Five Gentlemen.

Mike Taylor (Detention Deputy Sheriff), James Swanson (Chief Investigator Deputy Sheriff), George Keely (Chief Deputy Sheriff), James Neal (Federal Contract Guard), and Robin McBride (Investigator U.S. Marshal's Office) all stand together at the end of a belt test class.

UKEMI!

Interesting!!!!

The Cap!

Logan Stroud, the hockey player, watches a Saturday morning class as he adjusts his cap.

The Motley Crew!

James Swanson, Mike Taylor, Jon Barrick, George Keely, Leon Stroud, Mike Coleman, and Robin McBride.

Guess Who Is Kneeling?

That is none other thatn Jon Barrick (now Sensei) kneeling on the tatame when he was a white belt and still looked human!

BONSAI!

The just promoted Shodan, Mike Coleman Sensei drinks the traditional sake with Robin McBride Sensei at the conclusion of the black belt test. Keely Sensei was the designated driver!

Somber.

This was at the conclusions of these gentlemen's test for Shodan. I'm not sure if their somber looks are due to the extremely hard test, the sake at the end of the test, or if they are just trying to put their "war faces" on. Robin McBride, James Neal, and Billy Johnson. This picture goes back many years.

The Teachers Ukemi.

Robin McBride (center) and another teacher are going through ukemi drills as class is about to start. James Neal sensei is looking on as he wonders if he should join in the falling.

RATED PG!!!
Josh Durham is late to class so he just stood right on the main floor of the dojo and changed into his gi! It was quite a show for us all. This Picture Is Rated "PG."
Eight Yudansha.

J. Swanson, M. Taylor, J. Barrick, G. Keely, L. Stroud, Gary Roark (TKD), Mike Coleman, and R. McBride. This is the testing crew that put on the Shodan test for Mike Coleman. It takes a lot of effort, cooperation, and skill to put on a test like we require.

Jonage Uke!

Richard Coffman, preacher and aikijujutsuka, applies a jonage waza on his uke with great results!

Five Cops.

There are three Federal Agents, a Chief Deputy Sheriff, and a Federal Security Officer in this picture. Pictured from left to right are: Dusm Robin McBride Sensei, Chief Deputy Sheriff George Keely, Federal Security Officer James Neal, Dusm Harry Little, and DUSMIC Billy Johnson. These were some of the many good times in our dojo.

The Handshake Between Teacher and Student.

Robin McBride Sensei shakes the hand of the new black belt, Mike Coleman. This was just after Coleman Sensei put the black belt on for the very first time. The testing board is watching the process. Coleman Sensei put the hakama on next. It was a proud day for Mike Coleman and our dojo.
