I have been gone for a while concentrating on my training and my small business. We have engaged in a full year’s tournament season this year. Participating in that many tournaments is new to me and the training schedule is hectic. Things are really picking up and I am focused on learning all I can about running a successful MA school.

I decided to change the format of the website as I have severely neglected it for quite some time. My goal was to keep it simple in a way that would not require me to spend much time maintaining it. I hope that the new format will encourage people to take the time to submit the questionnaire. Short of meeting every interested party in person, this is the best way I could some up with to give people the assistance they deserve. I really just want to spend time giving assistance via the internet that I am able to give when I teach.  Depending on how many take advantage of this opportunity, I may be spending a considerable amount of time reviewing submissions and giving advice.  I would consider this time well spent.

I hope that there are many people out there who are willing to take the time to find out if Martial Arts is right for them.

On a side note: I  started using a workout book in the last 5 weeks and have seen tremendous results. I have always put together my own workouts but found it time to have something a little more structured
