Thank you, everyone. Today is a very hard day for all of us.

And it will be that way for some time!! All of you are in my prayers daily!!

Please excuse me for asking this, and I mean nothing but respect...

What's to become of the Peaceful Warrior Martial Arts & Healing Center dojo now??

For the time being, we are going ahead with classes in January as normal. He wouldn't want us to stop. Those of us who are instructors will have to sit down with Tiffany, though, and figure out where to go from there. I don't think anyone wants the dojo to close, but we may have to downsize to a smaller/cheaper space at some point. It's hard to keep such a large dojo going with only part-time instructors.

Thanks, Noah!! Whatever's decided will be a difficult one for all concerned!!

I just read the sad news of Sensei Poage's passing. I offer my deepest condolences.

And I as well. I'll keep your school and his family in my prayers.

My sincere condolences to you, Noah, Poage sensei’s family, friends, and students.

It sounds like you have a dedicated and highly competent group of instructors, and very good students. While things are completely up in the air right now, I’m sure once the dust settles everything will be fine with the dojo. It’ll never be the same, but that doesn’t mean it’ll stop being a great place.

I'm sorry to hear this Noah. My condolences to you, your dojo and Mr Poage's family.

OSU!

My heartfelt condolences to you and your sensei's family, Noah. Carry on, I would imagine that this is what he would want you to do.

OSU!
