Gerry the Orange Belt.

Excellent job Gerry. You did good. You've come a long way from the kid I knew long (long) ago.

Keep on working hard to be your best and don't get frustrated. You have a long journey ahead, this is just the first step! Keep it up! Congratulations.

P.S. For those who are interested, I added two links on the right hand side of the page. One is for the Official Fudoshin Kai website. Check it out there is a lot of great info on there and more to come soon. And the other is a link to my YouTube webpage that I will be using to put up videos. Don't forget to check them often because we plan on updating them as much as we can.

Butt-Kickin' Girl Scouts!

Master Yurkin (with the help of Katie) recently held another Self Defense Seminar. This time it was for the Girl Scout Troop 2900 of Nanticoke.

I hope everyone had a good time and learned a lot of great self defense.

Women's Self Defense Seminar

Thanks again to all who attended Master Yurkin's seminar. I hope you learned some tips and techniques that could be of use if, god forbid, you ever find yourself in a situation that calls for you to defend yourself or those you care about. We hope to have more seminars and possibly a class dedicated to just Women's Self-Defense in the near future. So spread the word if you enjoyed the seminar as much as we enjoyed teaching it.

Try not to be so hard on Master Yurkin next time!

At least we know the techniques work. :) Eojsensei
