Testing is scheduled for December 16th with rank being awarded December 21st.  It will be a great way to celebrate Christmas with a new rank!!

Finding time to prep students for testing and still train them for life is always a balancing act. some days it feels like we are shaky

This week I am having my senior instructor take the class as part of her preparation to become a certified instructor.  Man is it hard to stand back and watch without saying anything.   I didn’t make it for the whole class and had to step in a couple of times or I would explode.

This week we will be preparing our students for the Paz tournament.  I will only have a few going but we still need to get them ready for both forms and sparring.  We don;t always do well against the extreme teams but have stayed true to our traditional roots.

Rick Rando’s article in this month’s MA Success on the Instructor’s Role As A Role Model is excellent reading!!
