Sacramento Martial Arts

Power--is the culmination of several principles--the sum total of which maximizes the expenditure of energy. It is the magnification of force aided by concentrated focus. Its capacity is proportionate to the physical strength, force, or energy exerted, in additions to the speed it is rendered.

Parrying Block--blocking moves that redirect, ride and go with the force of your opponent's action.


Check--to restrain, hinder, or repress an opponent from taking action. This is accomplished by pressing, pinning, or hugging an opponent usually at the joints so that it minimizes his leverage and nullifies his actions. SKK 2009 YEAR IN REVIEW

 
Wow! 2009 was an exciting and very fast paced year.
We got to see our children’s class grow at an alarming rate at the beginning of the year. Then summer came and just as easy as they came in, they all left. Our adult class always remained pretty steady with attendance. 


We had a couple of great seminars put on by Dr. Dave Crouch (5th degree). Thanks to Dr. Dave’s cool concepts we have been able to take our techniques up a few notches. Tara, Amy and I went to a few seminars / camps to represent SKK. 


In October / November Sensei Tara Turnbull, one half of the original founding members of SKK, decided to leave teaching at SKK for personal reasons. We all wish her luck and hope she does not become a stranger to our school. We miss you Tara!
