Guys, there are a lot of tournaments coming up in late summer, and our advanced classes have been empty!  We need to get back together and start training hard!  Stop slackin' and get back in here.  I want to see all our higher belts together, even if you don't plan on competing, get in here and help our guys!  Some of you white belts who have been here longer (one year or more) should be training double in the evening too.  Come to the beginner and stay for the advanced.  If you've been waiting for an invitation, here it is.  SHOW UP MAN. In other news, South Bay is coming up, and we want to take a big team down there to smash.  That means whites, blues and purples!  Registration ends on the 21st, register here.  If you are interested in competing, talk to me or any of the instructors!   Read the rest of the entry...
