Congratulations to our Fighters!

A special thanks to our fighters and those students who came to cheer them 
on this last Saturday, for the World Eskrima Kali Arnis Federation Midwest 
US Regional Championships. Several of our students fought for the first 
time, and everyone had a great time.  Nick Wintergerst placed 2nd in Men's 
169-171 lbs Single Stick Fighting, and 4th in Men's 171-181 lbs Double 
Stick Fighting.  Mr. Sell placed 2nd in both Single and Double Stick 
Fighting Divisions in Men's 221 and over weight class.  Other competitors 
included Kari Schulz, Henry Pietrie, and Michael & Samantha Fischbach.

We are all looking forward to the National Championships, scheduled to be 
held in Milwaukee in February of 2006.  Make sure you mark your calendars 
so you can be there as our fighters compete for a spot on the US Team.  For

Upcoming Events

New Wednesday Workshop Topic: Brazilian Jiujitsu

Starting this Wednesday, for the next 7 weeks, the focus of our Wednesday 
Workshops will be Brazilian Jiujitsu.  These classes are going to be geared 
towards beginners, reviewing basic positions, movements and concepts in 
this grappling art.  Students in our regular classes are encouraged to 
participate and get some extra mat time in.

Students interested in participating will need a Judo or Jiujitsu Gi, a 
belt and a mouthguard.  We are currently offering a discounted price for 
uniforms for those who are interested.  Contact Mr. Sell for details.  This 
is a great chance to get some insight on the skills involved in a grappling 
art.

Our next Wednesday Workshop Topic will begin on November 30, 2005 and will 
focus on JKD Kickboxing.

Welcome Back!

This month, we'd like to welcome our returning students, it has been a long 
time.  Many times life gets in the way of training, and time or money 
become an issue.  What is important is that we make time for the important 
things in life, like old friends.  We'll be here when you're ready.
