April 2008 Newsletter #2!

Thank you to everyone who attended last weekend's seminar with Ajarn Chai Sirisute! Once again, it was an amazing experience. We had groups travel in for the seminar from Iowa, Minnesota; Omaha, and South Dakota.

This Saturday we have a Women's Self Defense Workshop from 1 - 4;30pm. A 'must' for every woman, this class give the students the skills to survive an attack from the front, back or ground. Training on our padded 'bad guy' helps ingrain the skills learned and is always a class highlight. For more information, read below.
