August 26, 2006: Congratulations on the entry into the world of two future CHKA-ers:

Thanks also to Robert for the redesign of the USDTKA blackbelt certificate!

 

April 7: From Shihan Augie B in Chicago:
Dan:

Both Sempai Steve Davis and Sandan Matt Altman competed at this years USDKTA Chicago event and Matt took 2nd in forms with Book set while Steve took 3rd in forms with Iron Horse.  This was a first as we introduced the Exclusive Kenpo Forms Divisions.  Extreme forms competitors were not allowed and Kung Fu Grandmaster Joe Gangi took the honor of Center Judging for this competition.  All five judges scores were included. 

Both guys had serious leaving Chicago plane concerns but come Monday they both made it back to New York and on time for classes at CHKA.

March 30: From Johan H, who used to train with us at CHKA:

Hi Dan!

Congratulations to your blackbelt!!

I hope all is fine at the new school!

For me things are good. Since I got back to Sweden I have been moving around a bit, but now me and Jeanette have settled in Stockholm, where I got a position at the Royal Institute of Technology, where I do a lot of research and some teaching, and Jeanette got a good job as well.

I keep up my martial arts training, where I now practice Shorinjikempo, which have some similarities with what we were learning at CHKA. It is a good club, even though it is not as good as CHKA of course... And I also try to keep up my CHKA training.

The main news now is that we will be parents in May! I'm really looking forward to that.

I miss NYC and you guys, and hopefully I'll have the opportunity to visit you soon.

Give my best to Sifu and the rest of the CHKA family!!

/Johan
