SHOUT OUT to all the students who attended last week amazing Super Hero
Boot Camp and their super leaders (Ms. Kat Kenney, Ms. Taylor Anderson and
Mr. Sang Ngo). The kids worked so hard and ended the week with a hunger
games inspired skit "the super hero games" for the parents. There is
still time to become involved in our last camp of the summer the week of
July 21 (xtreme ninja warrior sword camp) co-hosted with the Ken Caryl
ATA.
NEW SESSION:
I will be sharing tonight our updated format for your training, focusing
on your 8 main qualities of technique. As mentioned on Saturday at
Awards, all colored belt student will be training the techniques, basics,
meanings and form patterns for their own rank (i.e., if you are wearing a
green belt, you will be working on green material, wearing a red belt, red
material, etc.) All black belts will be working on ALL of the Songahm
curriculum.
My instructors and I look forward to sharing this week the key points to
basic quality technique and self-defense.
This is our final week talking and teaching about having a "positive
attitude." See you on the mat.
