I want to welcome Master, Doyle Seiber and Sensei, Jerry Lewis to our monthly family workout's. These two men are a credit to Isshinryu and have developed some great students over the years. I look forward to working with both of these men for years to come.

 

Grandmaster Mills and Sensei Bowers have been working very hard at creating a series of Arnis techniques to put down on paper as added requirements for our students. We've had great response to Sensei's Bowers and Allan's Arnis seminars. These guy's are really working hard with several of our other Black Belts in Arnis training.
