In addition, "Frank the tank"LaPage was promoted to orange belt while his brother Sam earned his yellow belt.

Steven Edwards was awared his Roku-kyu unexpectedly last week. Steven is one of Charlottesvile Yoseikan's up and coming karate-ka. He trains more then three times a week on a regular basis and his attitude exemplifies the true bushido nature. We look forward to Mr. Edwards as well as all of our newly promoted karate-ka to work even harder in the years to come.
Congratulations to one and all!
Please Note: We are almost at capacity so if you wish to train with us, please contact us immediately. The Monday and Thursday night classes will be interchangeable from Beginner to Intermediate ranks as we will be holding two separate classes simultaneously. The new year has brought many new faces and we would like to welcome each of you to our dojo.
