Empowerment Self-defense






On March 10th TSDKI hosted the very special Empowerment Self-defense Training session with Dr. Tom Cary and Master Steve Holden of Albuqerque, New Mexico. This all day intensive and informative program provided physiological specifics and no nonsense defense techniques for genuine protection. Dr. Tom Cary explains how to absolutely not become a victim, particularly to those with no previous martial arts training. The program is generally geared toward women and teenage girls, however many of our regional instructors attended the event. We plan to offer this program again in the near future. Special thanks to TSDKI Instructor Sig Luther for organizing the event and thanks again to Dr. Cary and Master Holden. Those interested in the next Empowerment Class may leave a comment on this blog and we will contact you.

It was MOVIE NIGHT at the studio on Friday February 9th. FUN FUN FUN with pizza, pop corn, soft drinks, and hot chocolate all donated for the event. Students, friends and even some parents equipped with their own pillows to enjoyed the classics, "Ninja Turtles II & III". Special thanks Kihana Cordero for donating the projection screen, Barbara Bellini for the pizza, Olivia Figueroa for the pop corn. All movie goers donated $2.00 each of which was turned to a WTSDA building fund donation. Join us for our next Movie Night which will be sometime in June.

Black Belt Promotions

Our February Regional Black Belt Class drew Masters, DAN and Cho DAN Bo members from various points of the Southern California to the Chula Vista Dojang. This refining of skills, polishing of spirits, and nourishing of friendships are part of the instruction that helps to provide leadership training to our seniors and instructors. Included in the session was a DAN presentation ceremony to which we take great honor in announcing that two of our members received official DAN certification. Mr. Sig Luther SAM DAN (left) and Mr. Andres Perez Cho DAN (right). To explain of the years of hard work and the dedication that represents this noble accomplishment is quite difficult. The journey is not an easy one, and more importantly, the journey is ongoing. Congratulations to their achievement and for the their pride they bring to our school and family.
