Fredericksburg Seminar

dpuett@mac.com — 2008-12-11T13:51:19-05:00

Kline’s Shodan test went very well (see picture). Baumgartner Sensei and Aviv both gave Kline very positive remarks. Jeff, Bill and Mike were flying uchi. Mike even got a complement from Aviv. Aviv also noted that he was very impressed with the quality of our Shodan candidates. That reflects on all of you, a dojo is only as good as it’s uchis.

Just tested 34 VCU students for this semester, wow that was challenging. Have 30 registered for the spring beginners class and 7 of the members of the fall class have enrolled in the spring-advanced class.

No classes on Dec 24, 26, & 31.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year,
