Hey Everyone.
Here is yet another link to some Martial Arts videos.
http://video.google.com/videosearch?q=Eric+Mattingly+
The link will take you to 3 Google Videos of a guy named Eric Mattingly.
Video #1 and #3 are good but #2 isn't that great.I think some of the takedowns and throws are pretty neat and some of the bo stuff he does is good too.I like to see different takes on self-defense and martial arts.The takedowns with the leg-scissors are pretty neat but not very practical but still nicely done.
Just something different to see...Hope you enjoy them.

P.S.I added a picture below of Sonia after getting her Green Belt sorry it's a little late :) Eojsensei

Way to Go Sonia!

I want to say excellent job to our newest green belt at Sembach, Sonia Toporcer. I'm very proud at how well you did during your test.
Welcome to the next level,it just gets harder from here :)
All the students are doing extremely well. I hope to see you all one day share all that YOU know with others to help our system and school grow.


OK! New Monday class starts March 6th.Taught by the great Master Yurkin!I recommend you learn everything you can from him (I know I'm still trying too!)
He will have Self-Defense from 6:00-7:00pm and Sparring from 7:00-8:00pm every other Monday. Everyone's invited.
One last thing...
If anyone wants to see a really cool and funny show that has Martial Arts
in it you definitely need to watch "Avatar.The Last Airbender"
I'm not sure what time it comes on TV but I just bought the first DVD and
it has a cool section about the different Martial Arts they use in the show.
Definitely check it out! :) Eojsensei

Official Shito Ryu Site

Here is another good link to the official Shito Ryu Karate-Do website.It has a lot of good info on history,terminology,and katas.Be sure to check out the "cyber academy" and watch the kata videos.They have a couple that we do and you could see some of the differences. I like to look around online and in books and videos to see a lot of different takes on the martial arts.There is always something new you could learn.

Hello Again.I found this link the other day about Karate Breaking and physics.It just so happens that I was going over breaking with the class the other day, thought this was interesting and maybe could explain things a little better than me. Take a look :)
