Greetings to all,

During this holiday season it is with great pleasure that we the “Hoteikan Family” look back at some of our accomplishments as the year comes to an end. First of all, this year marked the 35th anniversary of the Hoteikan System and what a year it has been! Through the many social networks now available we have been able to reconnect with many past members and all have wished us the best and continued success in our endeavors.

Several accomplishments this year are worth a mention:
• New Black Belts joined the Yudansha ranks at the Hoteikan Dojo in Brooklyn, N.Y.

Thanksgiving day is a time to reflect on all the blessings throughout the year and to be thankful for what we have.

Here is a special heart felt Happy Thanksgiving from the Hoteikan Family to you and your family!

Enjoy your day!

It is with great pleasure that we welcome back Sensei Bill Rader to the Desert Warriors class! After a hip replacement and some needed personal time away from the Dojo, Sensei Bill has returned and is helping the students with their Judo techniques. Sensei Bill has been associated with the Desert Warriors and Soke Armstrong for over 14 years.

Welcome back Sensei Bill!!!

The pictures to the Instructors workshop are now on the site for viewing. Go to Media Gallery - events - Instructor workshop.
Enjoy!

Our Jujutsu workshop this month was a big success. The theme was grappling techniques and control of your opponent. Besides our usual group, we had the pleasure of having several of the Wado Ryu Karate students from SMAC in attendance.

After 35 years of categorizing techniques and training with Soke and other members of the Hoteikan System and the Martial Arts community, we have finally given our Jujutsu it's own identity. On the 4th of July, 2009 with Shodai Soke Claudio's approval, the name given to the jujutsu system is: San Do Ichi Ryu Jujutsu. This literally means, 3 ways/1 system. It truly exemplifies what our jujutsu is all about. Join me in spreading the word! A master text will be out soon for this Jujutsu ryu. The complete San Do Ichi Ryu Jujutsu is currently taught in Arizona by Soke Armstrong.

The Desert Warriors of Arizona will begin open sparring class on Saturday's. This is a cardio class with running, bag work and then open Jujitsu sparring. Members need to bring mouthpiece, and gloves to class. This class starts from 7:30am to 9am at the Scottsdale Martial Arts Center..
