Recently I was back up in Rochester, NY, visiting and teaching a seminar at Nova Fitness.  Congratulations to Alex Blank and Casey Jordan on passing their brown-belt exam!  And a big congratulations to Steve Arnold on passing his black-belt exam!  I did want to call out that Steve and Casey put a lot of effort into their preparation and it showed, well done!  And yes, it really has been 11 years since Alex got his purple-belt!

Finally!  :)  A hearty congratulations to Mark Tung on his recent promotion to purple belt.  He's been focused and working on his combinations and relaxing and it shows.

Also, a belated congratulations to Nick on his promotion to blue belt.

Congrats to Kurt Volkan on his promotion over the summer!  Yeah, this is really late...  He's got a nice game from his guard with good combinations, plus some some interesting side escape/sweeps that work well for him.
