Launch of the new website!!

Hello AZB students, parents, friends, and potential new members,

I'm excited to announce the unveiling of the new Arizona Budokan website, which is chock-full of information, pictures, schedules, and news to keep you excited and involved with all we're doing at the dojo. I also hope that the redesigned site will give students both old and new a fresh look at our amazingly rich history and tradition--along with all of the other reasons we are considered the premiere traditional martial arts training facility in the Valley.

It has been an honor to train with Shihan Crosswell and our other incredible instructors for the last two and a half years. I believe we have something truly special and unique at our school and it is deeply rewarding to finally be able to shout it out to our dojo family and to the world.

None of this would have been possible without the dedication and design magic of my lifelong friend Kevin Carr at Sideways Eight Productions, who has overseen all of the artistic and technical aspects of the site. The result so far is even more beautiful and functional than I had dared hope--and over the next six months or so, it's only going to get better.

I'd also like to thank Shihan Crosswell and all of the kids, parents, students, and instructors at Arizona Budokan for providing me with great feedback on their experiences as well as ideas and pictures for the website.

Please keep checking back and please do contact me with any feedback or suggestions you might have--either in person or by email. Thanks again for being a part of our amazing dojo family--and if you're new to the Arizona Budokan, please stop by and visit soon. We can't wait to meet you!

Dawn
