LeetStreet Boys

LeetStreet Boys

LeetStreet Boys is an anime otaku band created in 2007. Brainchild of singer/composer Matt Myers and producer Ryan "Frogs" McCormack, the band gained international attention in 2008 with their breakout single and music video "Yuri The Only One." Widely recognized as one of the first Western anime bands to gain recognition based on being genuine, innovative otaku artists, the band continues to produce music, multimedia, and live concert performances. "Otaku Hearts," their 2011 sophomore outing, expands the band's embrace of otaku culture with heartfelt anthems like "She's So Kawaii," "Miku" and "Cosplay Girlfriend." Also due for release in April 2011 is a highly-anticipated music video for "She's So Kawaii," the spiritual successor to "Yuri The Only One."

Shidokan Kendo and Iaido Club

Shidokan Kendo and Iaido Club

"A true warrior has no confusion in his mind..."

No Martial Art symbolizes the spirit of the warrior more than the arts of kendo and Iaido. Although the metal swords have been replaced by bamboo and wood, all other aspects of the Samurai Spirit live on in the practice of these martial arts.

This intense training contributes greatly to self-development, builds up a strong character and clears the mind giving the students confidence to overcome daily undertakings with the utmost commitment.

The main goal of the Shidokan Kendo and Iaido Club is to help students overcome their own limitations offering them the opportunity to experience an ancient Japanese tradition. Join us and unleash the warrior within you...
