I LOVE MY DOJO FAMILY.
I will miss you guys so much.
I wanted to especially thank my sensei, Andrew Hackett for taking me under his wing, for his patience, and his generosity. Without you, I would not have met the dojo family I know and love today.
To Brent Yamamoto and Craig Krohn, thank you for every lesson. Thank you for sharing your knowledge of Aikido and Karate, learning these arts has made my Jujutsu arts better.
To Tom Doyle for finding a great home for Northwest Martial Arts and for being instrumental in keeping the dojo alive and well.
To all the students of NWMA past and present, you are truly the "soul of the dojo" as Hackett sensei has said. No lesson in the martial arts can be taught without students to receive it. I have learned at least as much from you as I have from any sensei. I hope to see all of you when I get back.
In the mean time, I'll try not to cry every time class time rolls around. :'(
Sincerely,
Felicia
