The "Little Dojo That Can" said goodbye to 2000 World Kata Champion-Sensei Michael Hanna as he returns to his native country of Egypt. His passion and dedication was evident in his stellar performance of Unsu.

Private lessons and workshops were enjoyed by all and his influence of Kata excellence was evident in his teachings. We will miss you and a safe return to your homeland. We look forward to your quick return.

Oss-Shihan Varon
