No class on Tuesday. Have a great holiday!

Master Rector is hosting his big event this year on July 15 at the Kirtland KYA Gym from 10am to 3pm. This was very interesting and a lot of fun last year. Come check it out or join in!

Enjoy the Memorial Day holiday.

Many thanks to the students that performed at the Asian and Pacific Islander American Heritage Festival at the National Atomic Museum today.

A selection of pics from both sessions are now on line here. Many more will be on the CDs. They will be out in a few days.

Congrats to those that tested. There were quite a few of you! It was a special treat to have Mr. Arnie Abbott and a few of his students from Arizona come to participate. Congratulations to him on his 3rd Dan promotion and to Maverick and Valentine for getting their 1st Dan belts. Great performances.

To everyone else, well done! Now, let’s finish up the school year and then spend the next few months having fun and getting ready for the big testings in Farmington and Albuquerque late this summer.

Due to weather we are moving the testing party from Arroyo Del Oso park to the Do Jang!
