New location

Thank you for a great year! I'm proud of all of you and the progress you've made. We've had a fickle year with the studio we were at, but this will finally change with our new location. Here is the address:

School of Ballet Arts
55 North 1400 West
Lindon, UT

(Coming from SLC area exit at 1600 N., turn right and pass Timpanogos Harley Davidson, turn right onto Geneva Rd. Northbound, You'll drive under the freeway and stay on the road for about 30 seconds, then turn left onto W. 500 N., turn left onto N. Anderson Lane and follow for about 30 seconds and you'll arrive at School of Ballet Arts. If you get lost call me!

******************************************************************

We are shaping up the way we do things at the dojo! We'll be focusing more on iaido as an art, physical art, and a traditional way of self defense. This will require more from the student physically, emotionally, and spiritually. We'll also be adapting 5 maxims found in most traditional arts in Japan:

1. Character
2. Sincerity
3. Effort
4. Etiquette
5. Self-control.

Let's make 2012 a great year! Here are some things to look forward to:
-Tameshigiri
-Nihon Matsuri participation
-Aikido seminar
-Quick hand-to-hand self-defense seminar
-Annual trip in Fresno
-Zen meditation

***For students who bring a friend and they join Iwayama Dojo, you will recieve a month of free tuition***
