It is with great sadness that I have to announce that Okamoto Sensei passed away on January 16h, 2015.  There is an emptiness in my world but I and many who knew him will live and train with the joy in our hearts that we have had while in his presence.

The dates for the 2014 Gashoku in Tokyo have just been set by Hombu school.  May 10th and 11th.  I will be there.  Take a look at the page on this blog for updates.

March 1st, 2013.  Oregon Roppokai is proud to announce it has joined up with Steeles Karate in Salem Oregon.  John Olivera Sensei has opened up his dojo and allowed his interested members to join Oregon Roppokai.  This is an exciting time and I look forward to great training with some fun and interesting people.
