*********************************
* Lost my phone yesterday, showed up in Dallas (don't ask..:-), but I'll have it back Tuesday by Fed Ex hopefully..Sorry I missed ya for that private lesson Friday Lance, we'll make it up this week..
* I am looking at adding some evening, during the week training sessions, probably two or three, to be covered by me and Monte Dudley to give students more acess to the material. Times will depend on studio availability...Monte will also be subbing for me, when I'm out the avoid breaks in training. As we move forward and grow the talent pool may grow and others may be asked to step up and feel leadship roles as well...
* Shirts are still avaliable in XL, but I'm out of the others. I owe Jim a large, who else needs a shirt and what size. I'll put an order in this week.
* Far and advanced notice on the AKF Kenpo Camp in October. It is one day for colored belts, great instruction from people with great attitudes. I strongly encourage you to participate. If you make it to the camp. You'll get one free class in November....what a deal.
* Recruitment prizes are still in affect...it looks like Rachel may become our first winner. She brought someone by that should start tomorrow.
As a reminder from April.....This promotion is through August...

Free weights, bench bar, straight and angeled curl bar, a box (Like a smith machine, but not exactly) with tricept pull down attached, stand alone seated calf machine,stand alone inverted torso extension machine (not the name, but not sure how to describe it). It is like doing reverse sit ups, sometimes there is a excercise called supermans done on it as well..The smith machine comes with inversion boots and the arm straps to hang and do knee lifts. Dumbells with a slick release to change plates quickly.
Let me know if you are intersted and I'll send you pictures.

It is $35 for the first year (previously $25 for the last 10 yrs) and $25 annually each year there after. After your 2nd month of training signing up for the AKF is required.
