2025 Fall Seminar
What a wonderful seminar!

We had a weapons class outside, then we moved inside for a class from McLuskie sensei
and then a class from Estrada sensei. Then the fun really began as we had 7 kids and
9 adults testing. Afterwards we went to lunch with family and friends. It was great
to take such a large group to our favorite restaraunt, La Unica.

Congratulations to everyone who tested, you all did a great job!
