--Annual Black Belt Review--
Hosted
by Invitation by The School of the Serpent Kyokushinkai
Date:
September 18, 2010
Time:
9:00am – 4:00pm
Place:
City of Canyon Lake
The
address of this event is, The Canyon Lake Lodge, 22200 Canyon Club Drive, Canyon
Lake, CA 92587. For those of you who have GPS this should be easy to find.
For those of you who do not have GPS go to google maps and you will be able to
find the location. Go to http://www.canyonlakepoa.com
to see the city and to see a picture of the Lodge. There is parking at the
Lodge. And, the Lodge is next to the gated property where we live and the
barbeque, which is to say that we will walk from the Lodge to the barbeque.
It should be a lot of fun.
Also, tell the candidates that we will be training and learning a lot from the
upper rank yudansha that attend. My plan is to teach the 10 required forms
(3 taikyokus, 5 pinans, sanchin, and tensho) so that all of us are on the same
page. I will be asking each of you to teach your favorite kata if you are
willing. I want this review to stand out in the minds of the candidates!!
