As you know I am putting together the details for the trip to the Spring Festival in Austin as well as testing and Grandmaster Sins Seminar in San Antonio, Texas.

Here is a gross figure for the cost breakdown as well as the schedule of events that weekend. For more information about the seminars and tourney, please visit Master Joes Site at www.austinkungfu.com or Sifu Ryan Howards site at www.sashaolin.com.

Friday, february 23rd: meet at the school at 6am. Leave by 6:30. its about a 17-18 hour drive. (we can take turns driving). arrive austin just after midnight.

Saturday, February 24th. Master Joes tournament begins at 9am. the tournament is goes all day. there are also lots of mini seminars, etc to attend. its a great day. Then there is an incredible Demonstration at 6pm.

Sunday, February 25th. Free day. We wont be attending Grandmaster Sins Seminar in Austin as he is teaching out the same thing at the San Antonio school on Monday night. Keep in mind, we will only have one car, so maybe everyone can get together and decide on something fun to do. Austin is a really fun town.

Monday, February 26th. We will head to San Antonio for Grandmaster Sins visit. Those of you who go will be testing in front of him. Then He will teach out Dragon Pa Kua. This is a very powerful internal form.

For those of you who want to go, The cost will be $450 per person. This will cover the transportation, gas, and hotels for the weekend. This does not cover the cost of the tournament, grandmaster sins seminar, your test fees, etc. The tournament is $35, t shirt is $20 (if you want one), grandmaster sins seminar is $90, and your test fees will be what they are here. I can honestly tell you that if you can go, its worth it. The tournaments always excite and motivate me. It is fun to be around hundreds of other Shaolin Do students from all around the country.

The space is limited for this trip, so contact me ASAP if you want to go. I am also requiring a $250 non-refundable deposit by February 1st.
