Morning Training 6/27/11
We did about an hr of BJJ this morning from 10:30-11:25. Marcus, Will, Ivy, and Matthew showed up and we had a great class. Just worked on cardio, conditioning, and basics then we rolled for 20 minutes. You guys that are slacking on coming to class better watch out.
About Durn Time
Hey Guys,
It's about durn time I did an update to our blog... I have been consumed with a number of items since I last posted.... Cain, Colton, and Micah all won their divisions at both the MS and the LA Judo State Championships.... Several of our other students did medal as well but I do not remember who placed where. Micah will be going to compete at the Judo JR olympics in TX in a few weeks.
I have finally been released to do full activities so I am trying to get back in fighting shape without doing anything too stupid. Timing, cardio, and upper body strength are all areas that need improvement. I was able to train with the Seo family in San Franciso in March. Grandmaster Seo is amazing at his age, well actually at any age. Master Scott is just as talented and hardworking as I had been told and of course Master Steve is continually improving all of his skills.
I also trained with Grandmaster Carlos Machado a few weeks ago... He continues to refine and improve our curriculum. I'm looking forward to the next affiliate seminar with him. I always learn a ton and leave simulaneously exhausted and motivated.
Speaking of curriculum, the final version of our Hapkido curriculum is almost finished starting at white belt and going through 6th degree blackbelt. Master Steve Seo is correcting our terminology and making suggestions on the techniques themselves. We will have the handbook out soon. There will be a ton of stuff that is taught but not a rank requirement but this will give you an additional tool to use in your journey in Hapkido.
We are working on the BJJ curriculum as well but it will probably be fall before we have settled on what we are doing with our BJJ curriculum. I will keep you posted as we progress with it.
Thanks guys and stay safe

Updates...
It has been a while since I posted... The shoulder is healing faster than the Dr. expected but not fast enough for me. I was promoted to Master rank 5th Degree Blackbelt in Hapkido this fall and 1st stripe Purple Belt in BJJ just before Christmas. Testing with a injured shoulder is a great test of your willpower.
Cain, Colton, and Micah are mowing through the competition at the Judo tournaments... So far Cain has won about 5 or 6 gold metals in a row. Colton has several 1st place finishes as well but usually he has to go up against Cain in the Gold metal match. Micah has won all of his Judo tournaments as well... We will be training with GM In Sun Seo, Master Scott Seo, and Master Steve Seo along with a ton of other great martial artists in March so look forward to some great new Korean chiropractic techniques.
