The Changing of the Guard

I would like to announce that on October 20th 2011, Mr. Matt Dowds will officially take over as chief instuctor at Central WI Martial Arts. I have absolutely no doubt that he will be a total success and the program will flourish under his guidance. Please join me in extending my congratulations to him and his beautiful family.

I would also like to extend my sincere gratitude to all the wonderful people I've had the honor of calling my students over the past 15 years or so. I really had a great time.

I look forward to remaining in close contact with everyone and will be remaining in close contact with Mr. Dowds and the instructor committee.

My next goal is to establish PSR in the Southeast and I will begin to work on that within the near future.

SUN!

I recently took a group of green through red belts through a detailed analyses of Sah Dan (this was at a class time that I don't normally attend). At the end, after the bow, one of the red belts, (probably 13 yrs old), asked if I could show them some self-defense techniques. (I cringe at that term. I prefer "self-protection or self-preservation".)

"Do you mean some MORE self defense techniques?" I said.

"Huh?" he said.

I replied, "Son, we just did over 30 of them. It was called PaSaRyu Sah Dan."
