We would like to welcome all of our new students to the Small Forest Karate Dojo. It is exciting to have so many interested and dedicated people join our family at the new "Way Place" in Poquoson. Sensei Harris is very happy to have such great students come and train in the old ways of Karate and Kobudo. We are looking forward to a big year in our new home. Please come join us and learn this old and venerable art while making a better life for yourself.

Small Forest Black Belts |
Just a little sweat |
| Many new promotions have taken place. We wish to congratulate all of our students on their hard work and promotions this summer. | |
| Over 3 years of consistent dedication to this art has culminated in the promotion to the level of black belt for John and Mary Hughes. Their Shodan promotion opens up a whole new world of this life defense art. We are proud to have them as members of the Small Forest Karate Black Belt family and wish the best for their Karate future. | |

We are very excited about the opening of the new school. A lot of hard work and long hours have culminated with the opening of the Small Foreat Karate and Kobudo school. Sensei Harris has been training and teaching in the area for over 25 years. He has lived in Poqouson for over 17 years and this new school is something he has wanted to open for many years.
"I believe that Poquoson is a great place to live and the people should have a place to learn this fantastic art. I believe, if all people took Karate, we would not have the problems we see in our society today. Karate teaches a mutual respect and understanding for all people. The austere training develops self-confidence and self-understanding. The more you understand about yourself the more you can understand and deal with others". Sensei Harris
We welcome you to come and see if Karate is in your future.
