We continue to produce spiffy TShirts in an unconventional way. Please bring $10 if you can (to keep the process going) along with the TShirt shirt of choice (the newer the better). Hisa-san will screen print the logo of your choice on it and return it to you.

We are a training community which includes Cal students and residents of the larger Bay Area with little or no connection to UC, so our classes continue whether Cal is in session or not, and often on holidays as well.
