Feb. 25, 2012 | Alan Sakoman Going Away Party
Dayton Bujinkan Dojo instructor, student and friend Alan Sakoman is leaving the Dayton, Ohio area for a new job opportunity in the Carolinas. He has been a member of the dojo since 2001. His last day in Dayton is March 8. We will miss him! Alan has been a volunteer instructor since 2006, mostly on Friday nights. He has visited Japan multiple times for training and passed his Godan test at the Bujinkan Hombu in 2008.
Many folks know Alan as the "resident expert" in groundfighting at the dojo. He constantly works on training drills and exercises using Budo Taijutsu principles as the basis for exploring groundfighting and sparring. Originally from Croatia, Alan is fluent in English, Croatian and Russian.
On Saturday, February 25, the Dayton Bujinkan Dojo is holding a celebratory event to wish Alan success on his move and new career! All friends and students of the Dojo are invited to attend. The schedule for Saturday February 25 is as follows:
- Special Adult Training from 10:30 AM to 2:45 PM ( 1 hour lunch at noon)
- Training ends at 3:00 PM
- 5 PM dinner celebration TBA (perhaps at dojo)
The training event is free for all attendees. Please sign-up on the Dojo's Facebook page, email, or at the dojo. Help us wish Alan a great start to his new career!
