CONGRATULATIONS TO Sensei Kaylie who graduated from OVUHS and Stafford Tech. She will be attending Hartford University in CT where she will major in Bio-medical engineering. Kaylie has been a mainstay in the dojo for many years and most kids don't rememb er class without her. She will be greatly missed by all.
FALL SESSION WILL END NOV 20TH
CLOSED FOR WINTER BREAK NOV 21ST
It is with sadness that I announce that after 20 years, the Academy will not host a summer camp program. Both of my long time camp counselors, Malori Carlson and Kaylie Selleck are both in college this year and are no longer available, so it seemed like a good time to close the program. I have enjoyed this program and in the past few years have seen students from Maryland, SC, NJ and all over Vermont attend. Many thanks to all the people who have helped over the years. It takes a community to raise children and the dojo community certainly stepped up to help me produce a quality program. I am grateful to the many years Malori and Kaylie have donated to the program. Both started as campers and became counselors in their teens. Their contribution is immeasurable and in the past few years, I could not have done it without them! Thank you to all who participated!
The Rising Sun family is proud to add Reiki and Energy Health to our business.
Reiki is a Japanese form of energy healing that uses universal energy to encourage emotional and physical healing. Sensei Kathy is utilizing the same principals learned in the martial arts, Reiki and techniques from Donna Eden's Energy medicine . Call for an appointment.
The dojo does not follow the public schools for closing due to inclement weather. Decisions on class cancellation will be made by 2pm and posted on the class Facebook page and this website. While the dojo may be open, we recognize that the weather may be worse in your home area. Please use your judgement on whether your student should attend.
PLEASE be cautious in the driveway and ramp. While it may have been shoveled clean, it may have become snow covered again.
Extra care during pick up and drop off is important. A walk way will be sanded down the driveway. Please use that path.
