First, I would like to apologize for the incredibly long delay since my last blog.  Since last September, we have switched to a much larger facility, held several belt tests, doubled the school's size, and most recently attended the Kajukenbo Ohana Association's (KOAs) inaugural seminar and tournament in Las Vegas.  To commemorate some of the recent events, one of my students, Anh Duong, has made a great montage of some of our recent activities.

This video includes footage from our most recent belt test, which featured Nathan Unger-Smith going for his green belt (which is one of the upper belts, and is concerned the screening belt for blash sash), as well as footage from our recent trip to Vegas, where I won the Grand Championship in Continuous Sparring.  Anh also did well, and details of our tournament victories can be found here.  In addition to Anh and myself, my father and fellow martial artist, Kurt Goldsmith also attended, as did one of my senior students, Stuart Endo-Streeter.

Overall, the past 10 months have resulted in a surge of growth in both our school size and number of students and I couldn't be happier with how everyone is progressing.  Both at all of our belt tests with guest judges and at the KOA event, I received numerous compliments regarding the quality and attitude of my students.  As a Sifu, nothing could make me happier.
