Its not too late to get signed up for Grandmaster Sins Seminar. It will take place this Saturday at 2pm. The cost is $90 and will include a DVD. Please help me support our Grandmaster by attending. He is teaching out the First Road to Golden Leopard Fist. He will also be testing our own Shaun Denhoff and Steve Papadapoulos for 1st Degree Black Belt, as well as Hanny Habib for 1st Degree Brown. If you would like to come watch the test, please be here in uniform no later than 1pm. I will be locking the doors at that time. It is a great honor for me to have these 3 people testing in front of Grandmaster Sin. If the doors are locked when you get here, please wait patiently outside, DO NOT KNOCK.

 

Please note, all regular scheduled classes will be cancelled this Saturday.
