  The clinic was great.  Everyone that came showed the best spirit ever and trained to their best performances to date.   The clinic started off with great Kung Fu demonstrations by Chuck Chretien’s students and by our guest and good friend Ed Green.   Next were fighting demonstrations by Michael Prewitt, Brandon (Chupakabra) Martin, Dr. Alex Keller, Joel  (Supercop) Martin, Stephen (Spongebob) Howe, Steve (hoghunter) Johnson, Lenny Turcado and Mike Williams.   These fighters gave us good entertainment and I would like to thank them.    Mike Williams got busy and earned a Shodan promotion in Kajuku-Ryu.   Brandon Martin made outstanding student of the year and Mark Long’s club made club of the year.   Mike Kaylor was honored with 7th degree in SSJ and Chuck Chretien was moved to Professor after many long years of training.   There were ceremonial belt promotions: Kathy Brooks went to Shidoshi Dai, Alex Keller to Shidoshi Sho, Mike Williams to Renshi Dai and Godan SSJ, Ken Pepperdene to 1st Dan Kung Fu.  Ken Pepperdene, Michael Prewitt, and Stephen Howe were voted by the instructors to be outstanding students at this years clinic.  Chuck Chretien made instructor of the year !  Good job Chuck.    Roy Miller Jr. earned the “tough monkey” award, of course Brandon Martin earned the “jet powered” student award early Saturday morning, way to go buddy.
