Exams. We are more then halfway through the examinations. The next ones being examined are 5th and 4th degree, then 3rd and 1st.
One thing that we should always remember is that we do such great things in our class, that we tend to forget about the basics. It's great if we can do back flips, submissions, but it isn't great when we can't do a proper block, punch or kick. Kung Fu is striving for perfection in everything, from a simple stance to a more complex technique. Keep this in mind please.

Healthy Tips. Remember when you train - eat healthy - it helps. Try focusing on fresh (natural) foods, not processed foods (in boxes). Have a balanced diet, eating all kinds of foods in moderation, a little of everything throughout the day in smaller portions. Here are some examples

- Meat - lean beef, chicken breast, fresh fish, tuna
- Vegetables - all vegetables
- Fruit - all fruits
- Grain - healthy cereals, wheat bread, noodles, rice, brown rice
- Good fats (just a little)- such as olive oil
- Drink enough or lots of water during the day

We live ... we learn
... The longer we live the more we
learn about life and people around us. The values in our class will help
you realize your value, who you are as a person and will give you a sense
of stability. Because you cannot control other people around you it will
not protect you from them. Remember that you are not responsible for the
actions of others and you are an individual. You can though be responsible
for yourself and this class will change the way you look on life in a
positive way.

people see. Simply use it as a tool to improve your skills so that you as
an individual can grow.

KUNG FU STUDENTS -
NEW GENERATION IS GROWING
November 21-th, 2008
Children in martial
arts. About 8 month ago we have opened
a special class for children ages 5 - 11. A period during which children
are growing up is probably the most important in their life. It determines
the direction they are going to go later. Every plant must be taken care of
otherwise weeds are going to grow around and eventualy kill it. Same with
children in a way, that they need to be taught, educated, maintained,
showed examples of what works and what doesn't. It is o.k. to learn from
your mistakes but it is even better to learn from mistakes of others and
this way avoid your own. Life is created in such a way that every person is
born as a clear tablet and must learn from scretch. 90 % of the lessons are
mistakes are the same ones our parents and grand parents did. Basic
problems coming from driking alcohol, smoking cigarettes, using drugs,
handing out with wront people can be avoided with the proper direction
martial arts can offer. The sooner the better. For the parents and anyone
who has children and would like to help them avoid these simple but so
important issues, let them know about our class. Children's sessions are
Mondays and Wednesdays from 5:15 till 6:30 p.m. " -

The Spirit of I DO

learn it all. We are constantly looking for people who believe in such
lifestyle. If you are this kind of person, come and join our class. Here
you will find people with similar outlook on life. " -

We are going to eat, sleep and train
there. In a meantime we will have fun playing games and speaking with each
other. Being outside is a perfect atmosphere to relax and get away from the
city.
How much does it cost? The only cost is $20 for two night ( $10 per night ) donation
to Polish Community for using the facility. Training is free, not sure why
but it is. You are responsible for your own food and getting to the place
and coming back from the place. There are other people going so there will
be no problem driving with other people.
What kind of food should I bring? As healthy as possible but bring can food. We may have a
refrigerator but there will be too many of us to use it. NO junk food
Drinking water.
What else should I bring? Bring soap, toothpaste, toothbrush and a towel ( unless you
don't plan on washing for three days, it is a free country ), bring
training clothes, two pair of outside training shoes, SLEEPING BAG, we will
have beds but bring your sleeping bag, unbreakable plate, fork, spoon to
eat, drinking water, NO laptops, NO satellite dishes ( you will survive ).
Make sure you don't take more stuff that you can carry with you. :)
Is there running water to wash? There is water to wash but don't expect showers any 5 star hotel
service.
Can I come for one day? We are going to be there Friday, Saturday and Sunda but if
you can only make it for one day, it's o.k.
Training clothes? I would suggest to bring couple pair of shoes just in case
if it rains. Training clothes should be dark, no martial arts uniforms

disciplined and focused enought to train with us you can also let them know
and they can participate. Age limit? ... not sure about that but I guess
whoever is not a cry baby can go. I heard that Louis was asking if he can
go. He is young but super determined so I guess he can. Please let Mr.
Sanjin know who would like to go so that we can organize it. Cost of it is
$10 a day donation to Polish Community and your food, everything is pretty

adjustments but we can handle it together.

Just because you took
a test and paid for it, does not mean that you passed it. As many of you reallize that all of us are being tested all
the time. Paying for the test is simply formality, which can be in some
cases will be quickly reversed. Some people can make a mistake that simply
becuase physical part of the test is over, that means that the exam is
over. The test is not finalized untill your dyploma is handed to you and in
this case nobody has gotten it yet. This Wednesday we have a ceremony of
handing out the dyplomas.

Very cool video of
Fedor Emelanenko. Fedor is the most
dangerious heavy weigh fighter in the world but as you will see in the
following video, we are all people. As a fighter it is so important to be
humble, grounded, loyal, friendly and so on. Fedor is a true champion when
it comes to it. Sanjin Alisa and Instructor had a change to meet Fedor
Emelanenko personaly as well as train with him at the saminar. It was
trully one of a kind opportunity, right Sanjin? Click here to

What style is the
best? I think Judo is the best. I think
karate is the best. I think aikido is the best. I think kung fu is the
best. I think ... I get tired of this. What is best is what works for you.
We support all types of martial arts so much that we do them all. Word Kung
Fu means striving for perfection in anything you do. In our case we do them
all, we do kung fu in martial arts.

Family Network Article
worth reading:
The number one concern of parents and kids alike? "A
typical misconception is that martial arts will teach violence," says
instructor Dawn Barnes, owner of the Karate Kids chain of schools in California, and
author of The Black Belt Club (Scholastic) series of children's books.
"It's actually just the opposite: children learn focus, discipline and
patience." A child who has seen martial arts in the movies may be
scared that he'll get beaten up during the lessons, so reassure him that
he'll be safe. It's important to make sure your child understands that she
is not learning how to fight someone on the playground, and that the skills
she learns should only be practiced in class and at home.
Another common misconception is that children will
be taught religious practices, says Hill. "There's this idea that
martial arts are part of Eastern religions like Buddhism, but that's not
the case at all." Instructors may come from a variety of religious
backgrounds, but in most cases they teach martial arts skills only..

UFC 82 is on today. Just a reminder that Octogon action is on tonigh, where the
best fighters in the world are there to prove who is number 1. I admire
their dedication and ability to put everything on the line but I would
never encourage anyone to participate in this kind of activity. Reason is
simple - your health is number one.

Shouting
"kia" is not practicle. It is
a very common question for people on whether shouting "kia"
during punches and kick is a practicle application. Well, as described by
many professionals who fight for a living, it is not. Opening your mouth
during a fight and eating a punch from the oponent can break your jaw and
this is why you whould not do this.

Sometimes less is
more. I always encourage students to
organize their rooms in a way that it is better to have less things in your
house. Sometimes having too much can enslave you and it is not a good
feeling. Everything that you have in your house should serve you. If you
don't use an item for six month either sell it, give it away or get rid of
it. Organize your life so that you can be free to live it to the fullest.

Smaller plates,
smaller portions - 5 small meals a day. As you have already noticed, there is a direct relation of
the amount and types of foods that you consume to the way you perform in
martial arts class. The slimmer you are, the less fat is on you, the better
your performace will be. To help you do this use smaller plates in your
house. Consume what you put on a small plate and put it away. Small
portions and multiple meals a day ( recomended 5 small portions a day )
will quickly help you burn fat and gain muscles.

Day after the exam. Congratulation to everyone who took an exam yesterday. Your
part is done and Instructor's has just begun. At this moment we are waiting
for the remaining student to provide Instructor with thei pic. In a
meantime, video from the exam is being transfered to Europe
so that testing commission can review it.
Several people came up to me after the test and admited that their
performance was not up to their best. I apprecieate the self criticism. I
think it is important to be able to evaluate yourself with appropriate
level of honesty. I also agree that there is a lot of work ahead of us.
Please take a look at this video ( click here to see it )
and see the gap that exist between where you are at this moment and where
you should be. We are progressing in a nice pace and students in class are
doing well but let's get serious about what we do and advance in a
professional matter. Any questions call Instructor 313 530 0209.

exact level. Following individuals set an example of where our class is
going. I believe after waching it, you will realize how much you should
step up your game. Let it be a motivation for you. Have fun watching it and
good luck to everyone in their journey to physical and mental excelence.
Enough said. Click

Funniest MMA quotes. MMA stands for Mixed Martial Arts and it is a system in
which all types of fighting styles are used to see, which one is best. Even
though Instructor is a big fan of MMA he would never want to see anyone
close to him be part of it simply becuase of the health issues. It is never
too much laughter so here are thee funniest quotes of fighters: Tim Sylvia
: “Half of this game is 90% mental.” Mike Goldberg: “He wants to get in
close to use that reach advantage.” Ken Shamrock: “I am very confident this
fight can go either way.”

made, world class mat system. All I can say is that the best martial arts
system deserves the best equipment.
