Dunamis Karate News

August 2015

I hope everyone enjoyed the “mini vacation” while we were closed.  I know our team of instructors and students who attended the Chun Kuk Do International Training Conference truly had a blast and gained some great knowledge to share with all of you.  Here is a quick rundown of what you missed:

7/21-22, Miss Andi and I completed the Master Development Series 501 course;
7/22 I attended the Professional Development Series of classes designed to help school owners;
7/23 Miss Andi, Mr. Alex, Tyler & I attended the Instructor Development Series designed to make better instructors; after the IDS classes we all watched as Ryan Gamble from CA was inducted into the CKD Master Ranks.  We also got to see an amazing demonstration of the new UFAF BJJ program.  Following the presentations, we were treated to a Q & A time with Grand Master Chuck Norris, Allen Steen & Skipper Mullens (3 of the all time greatest fighters).  Following the Q & A, we went for a time of celebration at the annual Pool Party!
7/24 all of us attended the ITC Classes which ran from 8:00 until lunch.  After lunch, the demo team competition started.  Miss Andi was asked to join the Cox/Gallacher demo team from Vegas and though their team did not win, they gave an outstanding performance.  Following the demo teams, the forms & weapons competition began.  Kaydence won 1st in forms & weapons, Camren won 1st in weapons, Tyler won 2ndin forms & 4th in weapons, Miss Andi won 1st in forms and went on to compete in Grands in hopes of regaining the coveted Norris Cup.  She gave an awesome performance, but the win went to Erik Esparza from TX.  

7/25 we all participated in day 2 of the ITC classes, which ran until lunch time.  After lunch, the team sparring and Jiujitsu competition was held.  None of us participated in those events, but we enjoyed watching, cheering and/or judging. Saturday night we attended the annual UFAF Awards Banquet.  I (Lindy Woods) was honored to be asked to give the invocation.  During the awards ceremony, Miss Andi Woods was awarded the "Most Inspirational" award.  She got to go on stage and receive her award from Mr. Norris.  What a HUGE honor!
7/26 started the sparring competition.  Mr. Alex, Mr. Jimmy, Mrs. Bobbi and I spent the day judging.  Kaydence won 1st in her sparring division.  Tyler won 4th in his Red Belt division and Andi won 1st in her division.  

Every year we look forward to attending the ITC.  For us, it’s like a Big family reunion as we get to see our CKD family from all over the world.  Remember, this event is NOT for Black Belts only … all ranks are invited to attend.  This year, we had 1 Purple Belt, 1 Blue Belt and 3 Red Belts from Dunamis Karate participate.   The event will be held again in July 2016.  Start planning now if you would like to join us!!
