Apologies

2006-10-12T21:18:00.000-07:00

I am sorry I have been unable to keep up to date with this particular history. As of late the paperwork has been taking increasing hours to finish, so please please please, make sure that your student is signed in each week by you. Also check the absences list to see if perhaps you have been counted absent when you were not.

Last week, we worked on Full White and Yellow Curriculums, Green Belts did kata and partner work with different techniques, Advanced class did kata explanation, review of curriculums, and fun with red belts with choices on increasingly difficult techniques. Sparring worked on the Hopping forward to jam up, back to dodge/lead in, and forward to advance an attack.

If you have any question don't hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,
Sensei James McCrory
