Dear Martial Arts Friends:
I would like to extend my warmest greetings for the New Year of 2012.
The year 2011 was a turning point for E-BOGU.COM. The 3/11 earthquake in northeast Japan, the worldwide economic crisis, the financial turmoil due to the European crisis, and the sudden rise of the Japanese currency have affected us both, here in the USA and worldwide. But these challenges made us stand strong.
On the brighter side, 2011 was a significant year for us. In May 2011, we celebrated our 10 year anniversary. We have also completed the first phase of the construction of our Butokuden Dojo, inside our headquarter building in Irvine, California. Since then, martial artists from all over the world have visited us to practice at our new Dojo.
In 2012, E-BOGU.COM will be stepping into the second decade of its history. We will strive to continue to be the global leader in the martial arts industry, by developing top quality innovative products, providing the finest service, and most of all, dedicating to the growth of martial arts worldwide.
E-BOGU.COM, Inc.
Taro Ariga
President and CEO
