Purple Belt

Chris Sicurella and Daniel Shires

(Master Gilbert, Sensei Kochan, Chris Sicurella, Sensei Vest, Daniel Shires, Master Duda)

You two did an amazing job! You really dug down deep and gave all that you had. That's what the test is all about. It was one of our last chances to really push you physically and bring out the attitude and confidence needed to go all the way in our system. You both had your ups and downs during the test and those are the things you should focus on and continue to improve. Many of the Masters and Sensei had great things to say about you, you really impressed everyone. You probably impressed yourselves too. You made it and it was all because you had the heart and drive not to give up. You should be very proud of yourselves. Keep it up!

Technique of the Week

Here are two quick Self Defense Techniques off a hook/roundhouse punch. Hopefully there will be many more to come. If anyone has any ideas for a technique speak up and let me know. I will try to mix it up and do different techniques every week. Hope you guys enjoy it. Thanks again to Dan Ruckle for being such a great uke. You make me look good man, and I need all the help I can get.

Self Defense- And the Winner is...

Katie Middaugh!

First Place in Self Defense at Grant's Tournament.

Excellent job Katie you did fantastic! I knew you would do great. You should be proud of the great job you did. I know that tournaments aren't your favorite things to do but you did it well. What made me especially proud (and it should have for you too) was when as a Brown Belt a Black Belt from another school was so impressed by your technique that he wanted to have you show it to him again. It just goes to show you how far you have come and how much talent that you have. I've said it before and I will continue to say it, our white belts have more self defense knowledge than many high ranking black belts in other schools. You should be proud of such a great job that you did. I know I am!
