THANKS to everyone for making the 2007 Acadiana Karate Camp such a special event again this year. Special thanks to Rose Shuff (LKC), Mike Junot(LKC), and to everyone who brought something or someone to the party.

CONGRATULATIONS TO HALEY HEBERT --- SHODAN!!!! ALSO CONGRATULATIONS TO REED BELLINGHAM FOR SCORING A 6 MONTH RETEST FOR SHODAN! CONGRATULATIONS TO MOHAMMAD AND HOLLY FROM THE LKC FOR EARNING SHODAN AND NIDAN RESPECTFULLY!

BE PATIENT WITH YOUR KARATE TRAINING. Practice at home, repeatedly, particularly kata, and you will begin to see rapid progress in you technique. As Master Anko Itosu (Master Funakoshi’s instructor) said in 1908, “Karate cannot be quickly learned. Like a slow moving bull, it eventually travels a thousand miles. If one trains diligently everyday, then in three or four years, one will come to understand karate. Those who train in this fashion will discover karate.” I hope you all come to discover your own personal karate and that you enjoy and gain insight along the way. OSU, Sensi Scott
