I've updated a few minor things on the website. Those of you who got promoted to a new belt at Undoo Renshuu need to let me know. Speaking of letting me know, I've added a thread for a major announcement on the forums. I think a few people have heard already. Those of you who haven't can wait. :)

Does anybody have cameras that can import video on them from VHS? I've got old karate footage on VHS that I would like to have for future videos - even as urgent as the 2007 Highlight Video. Let me know AS SOON AS POSSIBLE!

The 2007 US Open Highlight Video is now available through the YouTube site. I thought the song was very fitting for the event, so I went with it.

Two days removed from Undoo Renshuu and I still can't hardly bend my arms. I'd say that Saturday was the closest you'll get to a black belt test before you actually do it. Even though a lot was left out, my body feels vaguely similar to what it did last October, though thankfully I haven't gotten sick! :)

Tonight, and for the next couple of Mondays, bring full uniforms to class! Mr. Chianakas will be filming for the 2007 highlight video because I will be at work. Check the thread for more information.

I'll start working on the two Florida highlight videos later this week - hopefully I can have them finished early next week. I'm making one for just us being in Florida, and a separate one for the actual US Open.

In case you missed the e-mail, the karate-ka will storm into Dairy Queen to celebrate Brandon Love's birthday!

Speaking of missing e-mails, the Kuk Sool Won event for July 22 has been cancelled due prior committments by their instructor.

Of two surprises I'm planning and working on this year, one of them will happen several months before the other. If I haven't already, I'll be getting a hold of some of you soon.

Thursday, July 12

FOUR videos have been added to the YouTube account since last night. Courtney, Sassy, and Daisy - let me know if you want to see your videos online, because I'll gladly do it.

Weapons class is here at my house tonight for the last time. I think from here on out I'll be working every night we have karate and/or kobudo. :(

This past week has been indescribable. So many fun moments - lots captured on film, but still a select few that will have to remain in the noggin. Check the Photo Gallery for pictures (84 have been added already tonight - most of my pics were actually taken by my brother) and highlight reels will be coming hopefully before school starts back up. Tournament results are in the Tournaments section.

Reminders that kobudo is at my house for the last time this Thursday night at 6:30. Grade school practices have been cancelled. Undoo Renshuu is this Saturday at 10 at MTHS.

I'm going to start work on the highlight video soon, so if you want to suggest something or give me tapes, LET ME KNOW NOW! Once I begin, I won't be taking anymore suggestions. Please go to the thread on the forums under High School.

The year is half over already...amazing. June's archives are up.

Anyway, this is the last expected update on the website until we return from Florida. I think I have everything updated that needs to be. Make sure you check the schedule - kobudo resumes July 12 (last one at my house), Undoo Renshuu July 14, Kuk Sool Won seminar July 22 - for anything you have questions on. I will be updating a blog on the forums detailing our adventures in Florida.

Finally, CHECK THE FORUMS for updates on the 2007 Highlight Video. I want to make the biggest and best movie to date, complete with footage from most of the year's events!
