		<description><![CDATA[We’d like all of our dojo members to arrive at class safely and on time. To ensure this happens, please be courteous in the parking lot and observe the following guidelines: If you are stopping by the front door to drop off a student, please pull all the way to the right next to the stairs so other cars may pass you on the left. Stop in front of the door only long enough for your student to get in or out of the car. If you need to help him tie a belt, help her put her hair up, &#8230;<a href="http://www.imakarate.com/dojo-parking-lot-safety-issues/"> more &#187;</a>]]></description>

After enjoying the potluck dinner, speeches, games and a talent show, the Senseis, Sempais, Karate-Ka and parents got together &#8211; under the guidance of Keith and Tammy Nakasato &#8211; to work off some of the delicious holiday deserts: Please remember that the Dojo is closed &#8230;<a href="http://www.imakarate.com/ima-karate-annual-holiday-party-fun/"> more &#187;</a>]]></description>
