Mizu Iwa Isshinryu Karate

JRI Springfield is no more

Brian — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 16:56:12 +0000

We’re very sorry to hear that Jhoon Rhee Springfield has closed its doors. For many years, JRI Springfield and (as it was known before) All Star Martial Arts was the home for Mizu Iwa Isshinryu Karate. We met at their school, trained with their students and were one big martial arts family.

We wish all the best to Jhoon Rhee and most especially to John and Martha Locke as they move on from running the school.

For those of you looking for Martial Arts Training in the Springfield Area, we invite you to visit Mizu Iwa Isshinryu, meeting at Olympus Gym at 8:00 on Tuesday and Thrusday nights.

I’ve put up some basic forums. Right now they are very simple, but they do integrate with the user system that’s already in place. Once you log in, you should see a link in the menu bar to the forums.

There isn’t much here yet, we’re considering themes, and we’re missing many of the old photos and stories, but we’re working on it.

The key to this site is that it will be MUCH easier to add new items for all of us at the school. The site is now more of a blog than it was before. We’ll have to see if the new format will work out.
