History of the Dojo
|
The
Sea Island Dojo opened its doors
in January 1985 after Sensei Tony
Severs was approached from people
living in the small community of
Burkeville. The dojo operated
until June of 2007, when Sensei
Tony decided to retire from
actively running the dojo.
With
much support from the community,
Sempai Jeremy, with some of the
other Sea Island black belts,
opened the North Richmond Dojo in
September of 2007.
