I was teaching at Danny Sullivan's studio on Saturday and worked with his children's class and a group of adults. The kids did falls and ground defense and the adults worked joint lock techniques and grafting.
The kids did a great job. The adults were introduced to grafting some of the locking techniques, based off our handshake defenses. We had guests from a local Tae Kwon Do studio and they picked it right up.
I found that I had two more 20 year students there in Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Peter Galvano, both of who had started with me in Ft. Myers, FL in 1992-93. Pete now has a studio in Gulf Shores, Alabama, near Mobile.
I had the opportunity to work with them and Mr. Felix Indest afterward, as they're all working toward their next rank. It's good to see they're motivated and improving and make time in their schedules to work together, even with the distances involved.
On Friday night we were hosted at the Southern Yacht Club by brown belt Paul Kavanaugh for dinner. Group of a dozen of us enjoyed a meal with a great view and interesting conversation. My thanks to Paul, along with a Happy Birthday!
Thanks to everyone who supported and to Mr. Sullivan for making it happen.
