To the Editor:
For the past four weeks, I have been fortunate enough to be part of a group class hosted by the Don Nagle Isshinryu Karate AOKA Studio. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Sensei Ralph Passero, his staff, as well as his students for giving up their own time by offering the women of Bayonne a free self-defense class. I first read about it in the “Bayonne Community News” over the holidays and thought that I would give it a try – so did the 30 or so women who come every week for the two-hour class.
In this day and age it’s not too often that something is offered to a community that’s both beneficial, not to mention at no cost. Thank you once again Sensei Passero for offering this to our community.
