This one goes out to my currently most frequented dojo. After I left Purdue in January 2006 I found myself in lovely Baton Rouge attending my third college: Louisiana State University. Since then whenever I'm in town I trained more here. LSU's sensei, Ricky Pampo (center) is a New Orleanian like myself, and has been training for years. I enjoy his and Jon's (right) classes very much. KNUCKLE PUSHUPS!!!! AAA!!!
Another thing I always enjoy about LSU karate is their sense of community. Every week the whole lot of us descend upon some poor unsuspecting local sushi restaurant and attempt to deplete their entire stock of food stuffs. Even when people leave the club and move to another city we still keep in contact and will often visit with one another. This in addition to the new people that join every semester makes this dojo feel like my extended family... which is also big and enjoying of massive food-involving parties. :)
If anyone would like to join this club, especially if you go to LSU, I would highly recommend it. We meet in the student Rec center on Tuesdays and Thursdays and would love to see anyone interested in some training. Please see the Karate Club's official website for more information.
