We assembled on Sep 10th for our first “in person” Mt. Kisco Dojo Picture since 2019. It was a landmark moment after the Covid-19 related challenges we navigated in the meantime.
Enclosed below are the original two photos.
Credits: Rick King took the initial photos. Naoto Kihara put together the final photograph with the special design banner.
Looking forward to keeping this great tradition going.

Our traditional Holiday Party & Toy Drive was held on Dec 10th. The turnout was great, with an exceptional buffet of tasty foods, and lots of toy donations for those less fortunate.
After the party, 4 large bags of toys were distributed to selected organizations who make sure the toys get delivered to those in need. Leftover food was also donated to local food pantries.
Here are a few pictures that help to capture the spirit of the Takahashi Dojo. Thank you everyone who contributed food & drinks, and all the donated toys.
Happy Holidays !!
