For the month of June, I would like to congratulate our Dojo warriors that represented the school at the Green Point tournament Sunday, June 13. Spectacular Kata and strong Kumite showed what Hoteikan is all about. The other schools were respectful and competitive. It was a great day. The following students attended; Samantha Quisenberry, Gianna Dario, Elias Samaklis, Yanni Samaklis, Lider Intriago, Andrew Gutierez, Freddy Guaman, Rigel Archangel, Michael Anthony Perez, Hayley Benner, Roberto Sequeria. Our Sensei Anthony Carrano just came back from visiting fellow Sensei Alex in the country of Thailand. He enjoyed the great scenery and beautiful attractions including petting a Tiger. He also did some Muay Thai kickboxing training. We would like to welcome our fairly new BBC (black belt club) members, Ashley Narine and Zack Hajjar. They both have completed their 20 hours and are officially black belt club members. It is a strong class for our more advanced students. They are also great representatives for our school and best candidates for future black belts. We had a promotion exam this past weekend. Our lil Dragon Elias Samaklis has advanced to the Kids class and has passed his Yellow Belt exam. Martin Richards follows him as our new Yellow Belt. Hope Tabick passed her Green belt exam; the halfway mark to black belt. Ashley Narine and Zack Hajjar have also completed there Green Belt exam along with Michael Anthony Perez for his Purple belt and all 3 have our special Black Belt Club belts with the black stripe in the middle. All students will be able to see that they are a good example of the school. Nick Koehler has advanced to Purple belt. Alex Tabick and James Chen have all completed there Brown Belt exams. That was all for June 2010 from the Hoteikan Dojo.
