Sacramento Kenpo Karate

Amy with Patrick Kennedy from Ireland
Hello!

I am back from vacation and have found a few changes. The good news is that we have a new student, Lynne, who just joined us. She's been to two classes so far and is doing a great job. The sad news is that it seems both April and Chris won't be able to continue in the class. April is focusing on other things right now and Chris has to move to the East Bay for work. We'll be missing both of them.

I am thrilled to be back and working with my favorite students. (All of you guys). The other sad news is that it appears that Justin has left as the kickboxing instructor. We will miss his charming smile and clever wit.

Amy and Jason
I had a great time at the Baltimore LTKKA Camp. I learned some interesting ways of looking at the techniques and Mr. Tatum put on a couple of amazing seminars, which were played to a packed house. My head is spinning from all that I learned. One of the best parts, I think, was not so much the specific information that I learned, but more the different ways of looking at things. The comraderie was amazing as well. I made a ton of new friends and got reacquainted with some old ones. I can't wait to go to the next one!
