Dan Testing Brookhaven, PA

It was an amazing time at MBMA Karate in Brookhaven, PA. It was great to get together with Masters I have not seen in a while - Master Alan Cheung, Master Lingo, Master Santiago, Master Joe and Master Tanya.  It was a very educational testing of Master Alan's students and a student of mine as well, Miss Elisa Greene.  They ran through many forms upon request, answered many questions about what they have learned, and did very well during testing.  I had a wonderful time and I can't wait to see everyone again - congratulations to the testers and awesome job.

Sandokan in Canada

Saturday April 6, early morning, Matt Van Horn, Heide Clouse and I made a trip to Cornwall, Canada to teach at the NewWorld Martial Arts seminar. Once arriving in Canada, we checked into our hotel and then went to dinner with Soke Mike Bissonnette and his Black Belt team after which we had the pleasure of dancing at a private nightclub.  We haven't seen our Canadian friends since January but it was like we had picked up where we left off in Atlantic City having fun.

Starting at 9 am we arrived at the seminar location. After a brief introduction, the seminars began by division of ranks.  There was about 200 people and I continued teaching with the others until 3:30 pm.

Everyone was wonderful and worked hard.  We trained basics, some techniques and applications and rotated the groups of students to be with the other instructors.  It was a pleasure to be a part of a wonderful day of learning and working together sharing.  Special thanks to Soke Mike and our friends.
