The new year has arrived and January is almost over. I would like to extend a friendly reminder to all SMAA members to please renew your 2010 membership if you haven't already done so.
The Shudokan Martial Arts Association is an international, non-profit organization that focuses on promoting and safeguarding Nihon budo and bujutsu — the traditional martial arts and ways of Japan. The SMAA has separate divisions for karate-do, aikido, judo, traditional jujutsu, iaido, and goshin-jutsu (modern self-defense systems stemming from budo or bujutsu). Full membership is only $25 for the entire year.
