11th Annual Weekend with the Masters is a huge success!
Once again, the Weekend with the Masters was a huge success. Many talented and highly skill Instructors taught all of us a little bit of themselves over a period of 3 days. A big “THANK YOU” to all of those instructors who dedicated their time for this event.
Camp is always a time for special events within the martial arts family too. This year was no exception. First, the “birthday party” for Dr. Mike Steward was completely unexpected for the good Doctor. We love you and God Bless You Dr. Steward.
Another great event was the testing of three (3) of Hanshi Jeff Disney’s students. He had 3 students that tested for Shodan. It was a demanding, yet gratifying test for the students. By the end of the day, the 3 were sweaty, tired and well beaten, but they still managed to stand tall, as Hanshi tied on their brand new black belts. Congratulations to the following people on receiving their Shodan;
Sensei Jonathan Lucas
Sensei
Sharayah Lucas
Sensei Jeff Hawk
(Sensei Jeff Hawk received a Shodan ranking in both Karate and Jujitsu)
