Friends, I recognize the timing isn’t great, but wanted to make sure you heard this news directly from me and in a timely manner.

William and Lea have been asked to leave our community. I prefer not to provide details but rest assured this is not the result of actions that would have put any student at risk of harm.

While I conferred with our Technical Committee on this matter, this was my decision - and one I’ve never had to make before in my 31 years of operating our dojo - but the value of the community we all have built here at Peachtree is beyond measure, and I feel obligated and honored to safeguard it.

Let's celebrate our community this weekend, and all of you who make great effort to lift our dojo up ever higher. Thanks always for your Inspiration and support.

See you on the mat!
