Kenshokan, Nine Years and Counting.

In 2001 a small handful of boys from my Synagogue had discovered I was a black belt. they were eager to learn and so a dream that was quietly living in the back of my head came to life. Kenshokan Martial Arts was born.

Yesterday we celebrated that birth in grand style. It was wonderful to see students of different ages and backgrounds together on the mat demonstrating the techniques of Danzan Ryu. I was very proud to introduce my very first Shodan Zachary Kauffman. He has been a member of the dojo for over 5 years and from the beginning had show a zeal for training and a determination for personal excellence. We also were privileged to elevate four new brown belts; Alejandro Stawsky, Annette Stawsky, Brian Schrock and William Werner. To blue belt we promoted Amar Patel and Alexys Odama, To Orange belt was Edward Chamourian, Damien Garcia, Ryan Gilpin, and Sannon Ismail-Zade. Eric Volk was elevated to his yellow belt. All of these students have been great additions to our dojo family and are outstanding martial artists.

We then adjourned to BJ's Pizza for our banquet and awards ceremony. For their outstanding contributions we awarded student of the year Brian Schrock and Amar Patel. Damien and Miriam Garcia were recognized for top attendance for 2010 and Tristan Schwartz was recognized as competitor of the year. This years sempai award (Given by the instructors to students who through their actions in the dojo stand out from the rest.) went to Sannan Ismail-Zade.

As 2010 winds to a close I am thankful for the many dedicated and talented students who make KSK Martial Arts a wonderful place to train and grow.

I'll see you on the mat.
