Tonight, Tuesday November 21st 2006, the Cocoa Beach Ueshiro Shorin-Ryu Karate School marked our return to the Boom Fitness Center (formerly the Cocoa Beach Health & Fitness) with a demo and spirited workout. We will be adding two classes to our existing schedule of three classes per week at the CB Rec. Center, giving us five classes per week Monday through Friday at our two locations. A total of twenty five deshi showed up to kick off our return to the Fitness Center where we started in March of 2003.
Arigato to black belts Sensei Tom DuJardin (San-Dan), Sensei Kurt Tezel (San-Dan) , Sempai Connie Rutkowski (Ni-Dan), Sempai Joe Motro (Sho-Dan) and Sempai Trevor Tezel (Sho-Dan) for showing up and assisting Shihan Des Chaskelson with the demo and workout.
The following deshi were in attendance: Julio Cabellero (Ik-kyu); Michael Motro (Ik-kyu); Sheila Gagne (Ni-Kyu); Clay Tezel (Orange Belt); San-Kyu’s: Wade Parker, Sarah Parker, Ncik French, Megan Tezel, Kevin Tezel, Tricia Tezel; Go Kyu’s: Jean Shaw, Latham Kellum Jnr., Luke French; Ro Kyu’s: Joe French, Laina French, Rueben Darnancou Jnr, Sarah Darancou and white belts Janet Jochum and brand new student Kyle who joined tonight.
We are adding two new classes at this location to our existing schedule at the CB Rec. Center – Tuesday at 6.30pm to be conducted by Sensei Tom Du Jardin and Friday at 6pm to be conducted by Sensei Des Chaskelson. We will now have classes five days a week, Monday through Friday.
There will be a class tomorrow evening, Wednesday at 6pm at the Rec. Center as usual and also a class on Friday at 6pm at Boom Fitness to work off the Thanksgiving dinner. There will of course be no class on Thursday. Next week we will have five classes, Monday through Friday.
Wishing everyone a joyous Thanksgiving.
