June Meeting Highlights

Hi!

We had a great meeting at S&H Family Martial Arts last weekend. Thanks again to Mike and Toni Stevens for hosting!! We had many of the usual suspects in attendance, including Robyn, Matt, Brandi, Troy, Curtis, Jay, Nick, and Shannon. We also had a few first-timers in Jeff Nelson (who brought his young daughter), Valerie Weaver, and Kathryn Hornbaker. Please forgive my omitting the honorifics, most of us don't wear belts to these...

We spent most of our time on weapons. We went through some bo and sai kata and then tried to remember a technique many of us used to be able to do instinctively: trapping the bo with a pair of sai. I never did regain the hang of it... Then we switched to sticks and Curtis suggested we trying something new. Here's the video:



Clockwise from left the four in the video are Curtis, Matt, Troy, and Jay. We all had a great time! Valerie posted some photos on Facebook, though I don't know whether they're accessible to everyone. It was nice seeing some familiar faces and some new ones. We hope to see more next month!

Thanks,
Matt
