A Busy Month!
Our first summer in our new building has proven to be an amazing one! Typically summer is a time to slow down, re-group and prepare for the busy Fall. This summer, however, has turned into our busiest seasons to date. Some Highlights from Summer 2009:
SUMMER CAMP: Over 40 children attended what turned out to be an amazing two weeks of learning, fun and friendship.
INTRODUCTION OF CANDIDATE TEAMS: Our first Black Belt Candidate Team was un-veiled in July. It has taken us 5 years to get to this point, however, anything good is worth waiting for.
NEW FAMILY MEMBERS:
We introduced 21 new students into our program this summer. I have always made it very clear that we were not out to be the largest Martial art Program but rather, one that has value, substance and integrity. Out of our 21 new families, 18 are direct referrals from current members. Thank you for the confidence you have placed in us!
INTRODUCTION OF AN ADULT PROGRAM:
After many requests and years of saying, "No", we officially kicked off our Traditional Adult Karate Program. I have to admit, it has been a great time teaching folks who actually get my jokes. (as bad as they are!!!)
BLAUER TACTICAL PDR:
I am looking forward to travelling with some of our students to New York in late August for an introduction to an amazing self defense program offered by the World Famous Blauer Tactical Team: PDR. Personal Defense Readiness. We will be offering this program to our dojo and the community beginning in 2010.
