The willpower to overcome.  Dave just won the personal achievement of earning his Brown Belt.  With an emphasis on "earning".  We all have some physical limitations of one sort or another, some more extreme than others, but Dave managed to not only endure but excel at his Brown Belt Board Test.
     Dave's easy going nature makes it easy to be his friend, and you know he's always paying attention because he's the first to raise his hand when a question is asked, and he's almost always right.  Seeing his performance during his Brown Belt test made the instructors proud of him, and also raised the bar on our expectations of him.   Congratulations on your recent achievement Dave, you should wear the Brown Belt proudly having worked so hard to earn it, and were all looking forward to your next, and biggest, board test.

     Our Halloween "Workout" was again a great success!

   Over 80 children attended the event, and each had a "spooky" good time.  From the new and improved Haunted House to the bag of treats they received, the smiles were frequent and plentiful as you will see by the pictures.
    Two special THANK YOU'S:  First, to all the parents and students who donated bags of candy!  As you could see by the size of the candy bags we gave each child, we used every piece (well.. one or two may have "disappeared" since I love chocolate!).  We usually purchase all the candy ourselves, and the donated items were a big help.
    Second, a very big THANKS to all our instructors (pictured above) who helped out, because without them the event wouldn't be possible.  From running stations to spooking out the students in the Haunted House, the instructors not only helped immensely, but they all had fun doing so.
    To view some of the pictures from the event, click the link below.  If you would like a CD containing ALL of the photos and MANY more, all in much larger high definition, simply ASK, Free of charge.
