New and Improved

Hi everyone.
I know its been awhile and a lot has happened since closeing SEMBACH's doors.
The transition took some adjusting for a lot of people but everything is back on
track and our "new" home at Mountain Top Martial Arts feels great! I'm slowly
trying to get the blog updated and change things up a bit. So please continue
to be patient and please keep checking in. Thanks again for everyone's support
and encouragement. Couldn't have done it without you guys.

ATTENTION:

To all the students, parents, and families of Sembach Martial Arts.

It saddens me deeply to have to announce that as of August 31^st 2009, Sembach Martial Arts will have to close its doors. Sembach has had a long history from the air force base in Germany, to the Karate club in Edwardsville, all the way to Sembach Martial Arts on Main Street in Nanticoke where we have been ever since Master Yurkin took the chance of opening the doors back in 1981. It has seen many students and teachers, and each and every one of you we consider family. Due to financial burdens and personal life changes I am no longer able to continue to run the business. Master Sparks and the Mountain Top Matial Arts Center have been kind enough to extend an open heart and invitation for all of Sembach’s students and families to continue their training at their dojo. I myself will continue to teach up at Mountain Top Martial Arts Center which is our Hombu Dojo (Founders School) for both systems of Kumade Nobushi Kyokai and Fudoshin Kai. Closing the doors is a decision that I hoped I would never have to make. But I realized that the heart of Sembach isn’t found in a building, but inside of each and every student, teacher and family member. And the life lessons, martial teachings and the lasting friendships we have had throughout the many years. I apologize for the quickness in all of this and I hope for all of your understanding in this decision. You are all my family and friends. Each and every one of you IS Sembach Martial Arts.

Sincerely,

Master Joseph Duda

Owner/Head Instructor of Sembach Martial Arts

First we have Master Grant's Sparring Seminar that was held recently.
It was a blast. He really knows his stuff and if you missed it you definitely missed out on a LOT!
Here is a quick video of some of the highlights.


Speaking of Seminars (FREE Seminars) I will be giving the next one on Trapping. Again it's free for all NEPAKarate.com School members and their students. $20 for non-members.
Check out http://www.nepakarate.com/ for all the information.


And lastly we have a new link to our very own SembachMA Online Store. It's something I wanted to try for awhile and finally started to put it together. Check it out for all kinds of cool new items for Sembach. Here are some of the newest apparel.

I look forward to hear what you guys think. Eojsensei : )
