One of the benefits of the mats being modular is that when a friends band needs a place to practice the dojo can adapt!

Brett's Demonstration Video.. He skipped a few, invented a few, but all of them were on point, his application and connection were fantastic.. On more than one occasion I genuinely checked my mouth and nose for blood. 😅

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Please join me in congratulating Brett Cates on his promotion to Black Belt!

He is a wonderful and dedicated student, and always eager to learn.
His understanding of principle, and his application are very impressive. And I am extremely proud of his accomplishments.

He was a little nervous for his demonstration, he skipped some things, he added some things, but everything he did was on point and extremely effective! (I did not plan on taking any large falls without the crash pad, but his throws were so good I didn't have a choice for many of them lol)

Congratulations Brett! You make me proud to be your Sensei!

Also a special thank you to our guests Jack, Adriel, and Brian for coming out and observing.

I had an absolute blast teaching the final session for today for North Texas Karate camp put on my GM Starnes put in Bridgeport! Large group of kids!

The students were very attentive and worked hard to understand what I was teaching.
They were picking it up and doing really well with it.

I taught some modified Tomiki Aikido Release ideas.

Also got to spend time with Don Oliver again. He’s a cool dude. We jived well and are planning a time we can get together to train some.

Overall, excellent Saturday!

The newest student at Weatherford Martial Arts Center is excited and ready to start training!

We went to Arlington today to Lang Son Traders and got Nico a Gi. She is loving it!

Thank you Thang-Hoa for your expertise and kindness.
We always love going to your store, it is a staple in the DFW Martial Arts Community.

I will say, having spent a substantial portion of my life practicing and training martial arts, seeing one of my children take an interest is a wonderful feeling.
I’m not crying.. there’s something in my eye…
