Greetings and Salutations,
Boy-o-boy! Time flies when good times and fun abound at SKK. Especially, since we now have a thriving kids class and a kick-butt adult class.
Congratulations and praise to Bryan Parker, on Tuesday May 19, 2009 he was promoted to second degree brown. You should have seen the surprise on his face. He deserves it because of his dedication in showing up and working hard, especially the stuff that needs work. (And still does heheheh). More to come, so be ready pal…
On May 13th we at SKK were again blessed and honored to have Dr. Dave Crouch, 5th Degree American Kenpo practitioner and instructor give us a 2+ hour seminar. We were exposed to some very eye opening concepts in the world of American Kenpo techniques. So all of us at SKK as well as our other guests that showed up, we would like to extend our thanks to you Dr. Dave for taking time out of your busy schedule and coming out to show us what moving in Kenpo should really be.
A quick list of what is happening with our awesome dragons and tigers students:
Jadon is nearly ready for 4th stripe for all techniques and working on polishing them up now. Yayyy!!! Jadon, way to hang in there.
Travis is moving through Orange Dragon quickly and only needs his sparring stripe and basics stripe. Keep up the good work on everything you are working on.
Congratulations! Omari for being promoted to Jr. Dragon Yellow belt on April 9, 2009. He is currently working towards his 1st stripe on Orange Dragon.
Congratulations to JD for being promoted to Jr. Dragon Yellow belt. He is currently working for his first stripe. JD will be taking a break from us after this month.
Congratulations! Carlos for being promoted to Jr. Dragon Yellow belt on April 9, 2009. He is currently working towards his 2nd stripe now. Keep up the hard work Carlos.
Ruby now has a stripe for 1st three techniques and has just earned another stripe for reciting the Kenpo Creed.
Both Carlos and Ruby will be spending the rest of the month of May with us, and then they are taking a break for summer vacation.
So if anyone of boys and girls get a chance make sure to let Carlos, Ruby and JD how much we will miss them. Okay…
Alyssa just earned her 4th stripe for Personal Safety information. Alyssa, you have two more to go before Purple Tiger test. Keep up the good work especially in sparring. You are the most motivated one there.
Joseph is working towards his second stripe on white belt and has his 1st stripe for first 3 techniques.
Kudos to Jordan he got his last stripe on his belt and is eligible to test for Yellow Tiger soon.
Victor is working towards his 1st stripe on Yellow Dragon.
Akoni has recently earned 2nd stripe for Blocking Set #1 and already has a stripe for 1st three techs. Keep up the amazing work and we are impressed with how well you listen.
Joe'Vaughn Did you guys give him a stripe?? If not, he should earn one soon- he's working towards his first according to his card.
Hurray for Marilyn you are very good listener and you are showing very good martial skills. You are on your way to earning your first stripe.
Sierra- Has two stripes- Safety Info/Pledge and Blocking Set #1. According to her card, she knows the first 3 techs so should be working towards that stripe.
Mackenzie will soon be earning second stripe for either Safety Info/Pledge or Blocking Set #1. She has one other stripe for her first 3 techniques.
Atta-boy Darian you are very sharp and a good listener and I are impressed with your skills, keep up the work. You have definitely earned a stripe young man.
I would like everyone to say hi to Jon Stewart our newest student. He is working towards his first stripe. Keep up the enthusiasm Jon.
Our adult class has now been graced with Lisa and Gary, a couple more Kenpo orphans. So if you have not already introduced yourself please do. We are also fortunate to have Richard Nakamoto, a 4th Degree, show up and give his technical expertise.
Wish Amy and Ron good-luck as they head out to Graham Lelliott’s Fresno Camp this Memorial Day holiday.
Keep your eyes and ears open for upcoming events and seminars. We will keep you posted, as information becomes available.
For those of you who have taken a short hiatus we want you to know that your presence is missed and that you are more than welcome to come back through our doors so that good times can be had in the world of Kenpo Karate
See you soon…
American Kenpo Karate is a hard/soft style of martial arts, created by Ed Parker, designed to promote good self-esteem, confidence, self-reliance, excellent defensive skills and is a lot of fun. If you want to learn the ultimate in self defense, we teach Kenpo Karate in Rancho Cordova at Mather Sports Facility.
