Work on the school

This last weekend, some members of the International Fook Yueng Chuan Association took advantage of the 80+ degree weather and began raising walls at the Beginner's Mind School. The construction didn't get finished, but with the help of Dr. Dale Fetroe, Mr. John Humble, Jay Sullivan, Patrick Keenan, Rick Morgan, and few others, we managed to do a fantastic job and, hopefully all enjoyed ourselves at the same time!

To any parents out there concerned about your children and martial arts

Through online study and internet research, Mr. Conley came across this fantastic youtube video composed by Tom Callos from www.ultimateblackbelttest.com and would like to share it with you.



These are things within the Beginner's Mind Dojo that we strongly resonate with, not just as instructors, but as parents.

Thank you Mr. Callos for your insight and wisdom.
