Get Kidz Fit Demo and Updates

WOW! We have some of the best people at RKMSF! A HUGE Thanks to Autumn, Geordan, Spencer, Eli and Samantha for the demonstration of Kung Fu San Soo skills and exercises. You guys ROCK! Another HUGE thank you to Fred, Monra, Eli and Jeff for their assistance! We couldn't have done it without you!

We got some great feedback and the crowd really loved our kids! Master Robert and I are very proud of each and everyone of you!

Tuition is due this week on Thursday. I will be traveling to PA Wed-Fri, but will be available by cell phone.

There are just over 2 months left before graduation. Make sure you're on track to make your attendance goals. Attendance numbers and a tentative promotion schedule will be posted mid-May.

See you in class!

Forbidden Kingdom

I took my 8 year old nephew (a brown belt in American Karate), my mom and sister-n-law to see Forbidden Kingdom last night. WOW! The action was pretty non-stop and Jackie Chan and Jet Li had some fantastic fight scenes. While I won't give the movie away...I was pleased to see almost every style of Kung Fu (Gung Fu) represented in the film. If you listen very carefully to Jackie Chan's expanation of one particular style...you'll recognize San Soo! I was also pleasantly surprise to see so many things I recognized in the fighting styles. They stayed very true to the arts and while there were some jaw dropping effects...anyone who is a martial artist can truly appreciate the fight sequences. I give it 4 out of 5 stars (ok...so the editing needed a little work). It is a really clean film and good for the whole family. Have fun!

Coming Up....

April 18th....
This weekend is the opening for the new Jet Li-Jackie Chan movie Forbidden Kingdom. This film is rated for the whole family and is being heralded by the Martial Arts Industry as one of the best Martial Arts films in recent times. So take your family and friends to see Forbidden Kingdom and don't forget to wear your RK Martial Sciences or Kung Fu San Soo of Texas T-Shirts!

April 24th...
Transition and Disabilities Expo, TCU, Ft. Worth, TX
(http://www.gcisd-k12.org/specialsvs/images/transition.pdf)
Master Lisa and I will be at the Tarrant County Transitions & Disabilities Expo promoting RK Martial Sciences SNAP and Kung Fu San Soo programs. The expo is from 4-7pm and is an opportunity to reach out to people who may not fit in more competitive martial arts programs.

April 26th...11:30 Kids Class Cancelled for just this day.
Help Get Kidz Fit! (www.getkidzfit.org) On April 26th, Master Robert and I will take 5 students to the Get Kidz Fit Expo at Fair Park's Centennial Hall from 1-4pm. We are the only Martial Arts school to have been invited so this is a fantastic opportunity to not only promote OUR school but Martial Arts in general! There will be all kinds of games and people demonstrating ways for kids to get up from in front of the computer and get moving! Even ways to stay in front of the computer and move at the same time! So if you're looking for a fun way to spend an afternoon...come out and join us!

Everyone have a great weekend! We'll see you in class!

Thursday Classes Cancelled

I hope everyone survived the storms in the wee hours of this morning. I know many people are still without power.

As of 11:18am today the power at the school is still out and I can get no estimated time as to when it will be back on from ONCOR power. SO...I feel the most prudent thing to do is CANCEL today's classes.

For those who live in areas hard hit by the storm, let us know if we can be of help. Take care and we will see you in class on Friday and Saturday!

Power should be back on RIGHT? :-)

Volunteers Needed!

If you've been looking for ways to get involved in the school...here are two very unique and special ways:

1) Our Special Needs class has once again grown to about 24 students! WOW! This is a GREAT problem to have! However with this many students we need additional volunteers to help! If you are an instructor, id, or a student with the time and willingness to help, please let Master Lisa know or send an email to Miss Kris. Class is on Wednesday evening from 5-6pm.

2) We have been invited to participate in the "Help Kids Get Fit" Health Fair at Fair Park on April 26th inside the Centennial Hall. This would be a 20 minute demonstration of both the physical and mental aspects of our art. I need volunteers from our kids who can be available from 1-4p on that day. I also need several adult students to help. Please let me know if you are available and want to show your stuff. This will be the biggest audience by far we have EVER given a demonstration to. It is an exciting way to show people what we do and the benefits Kung Fu San Soo can provide.

I need to have an answer by Thursday 4/10 so that I can let the Get Kids Fit folks know.
