This Thursday night we are having an exceptionally special class. 

We are fortunate enough to have Professor Jim Lambert come in and give some instruction.

Professor Lambert is a 7th degree black belt and is one of the founders of Jujitsu America . He has studied martial arts for over forty years with such masters as Professor Carl Beaver. 

Professor Lambert is a wonderful person and a fabulous instructor.  So please join us for this rare privilege.  I hope to see you all there

"...I just wanted to say thank you to those of you from our school who attended the clinic this past Saturday: Amanda, Delilah, Don and Family, Gloria, Hector, Lee, Ron, and Vladimir. Thanks Randy for bringing the family to the Luau and thank you Ernie for the donation.  Though I understand that life happens and that it can be hard to make time for working out, we still missed all of you who couldn't make it.  

It was a great clinic.  Attendance was large, and there were no injuries; a success in my book.  

My dad taught three Judo throws, one of which was new, even to me.  The throws were successful even for people with very little Judo training.  

Jason Knudtson taught three grappling techniques, two of which ended in arm bars and one that ended in a leg bar.  All were effective and easily executed.  

Scott Baker taught some of the foundations of Wing Chun and demonstrated the power of channeled inner energy.  He also taught some breathing techniques that strengthen your ability to harness your inner energy and quiet the chattering monkey (the voice in your mind) that distracts you when you most need to concentrate.  

Professor Baker also brought his experiences from being a psychologist at a corrections facility to his art.  

After the hard workout, we received instruction on how to repair the body from two very qualified masseuses, Dr. Lori Jeffcoat and Patty Takahashi.  

After all was said and done, we were treated to a traditional Hawaiian dinner and spectacular dance show.  Wish you all could have joined us. It will be great if our school is well represented the next time something like this comes around..."

Congratulations to lifelong martial artist and dedicated jujitsu/judoka Joshua Yoshimoto! Josh received a well deserved promotion to Brown Belt last night.

Prior to joining the Kaito Gakko Ohana in 2004, Josh was already an avid martial arts practicioner - a black belt in Tang Soo Do (he never said a word about this to anyone at Kaito Gakko).
 
His passion for martial arts has always been present along with his great sense of humor and honest dedication. Josh has made many contributions to Kaito Gakko over the past few years* including 1st place wins at the local and national level.

Congratulations Josh!
