Sempai teaches the 1st Certain Victory Fireams Training class to Checkmate Martial Arts family and friends on 4-23-2011. A wet, cold, and thoroughly enjoyable day. The weather at the SIG Arms Academy range couldn’t dampen the spirits of these dedicated martial artists!

An epic beginning! Great training by Steve Gilcreast, and a great group of people. At the end of the day, an exuberant, but exhausted, 1st graduating class.

Everyone was excited to sign up for their next class with Steve Gilcreast, teaching the Vickers Shooting Method.

Carl Root Earns Judo Yellow Belt 10-2-2010

October 3rd, 2010 Pat Cassidy 1 comment

Congratulations Carl on earning your Judo Yellow Belt. I was quite pleased with the level of comfort and competence demonstrated. I’m sure I speak for Sensei’s Rick and Leigh, also.

Practice and repetition are obviously making you more comfortable with the fundamentals. It showed as much much smoother and relaxed execution. Your class attendance is really paying off!

Thanks!
Sensei Pat

p.s. You really made me work to escape mune-gatame. Yea!
