I want to thank all our instructors that helped in last Friday and Saturday’s seminar’s.  Many, Many wonderful techniques both standing and on the ground.  Our folks that attended the seminars from Sevier Heights were able to actually recall about 12 to 15 great, workable techniques.  I hope you and your students were able to recreate the techniques this week.   Thanks again to everyone involved.

eir”Wow, seventeen of the Grace nuts showed up and even though some of the little guys were scared by the end of the night they were laughing and having the time of their life!  Mr Pete stood and analyzed the IHOF winners sparring skills, then of course he took a break to knock me around a little.  Mr. Reynolds was the epitome of a gracious host taking great pain to deliver a wonderful lesson on free sparring technique.  First he made us run laps 10 right, ten left then  repeat, with 10 push ups in between…finishing off with 10 burphees, & push ups and crunches 50 each.  His reasoning was don’t call yourself a fighter if your not in shape,  they will kill you (that’s true).  Dripping with sweat then  the class paired up and learned.  After… he kindly skipped the kickboxing class as we sparreed till after eight.  Some had to slip off, but I saw a hole in our training.  My gi was a little wetter than usual.  Like Pete said running for miles does not simulate sparring.  Guess I need to pick kup on the wind sprints.  But for a one arm grandpa I did okay and had a great time.  The highlight of the night was seeing some old friends, and watching my kids laugh and learn with some new friends.  Mr. Chuck said he wanted to do it again sometimne.  What a nice guy, and a privilege to play with such a Christ filled karate instructor.  I am glad to call Mr. Reynolds my friend and brother in Jesus Christ.”
