Our Army unit has just posted an update and some more specific requests. As it is getting colder in Afghanistan, they would like thick, warm socks, hand and toe warmers, black knit hats, black ear warmers, funny movies, christmas movies, dorito chips, hightlighters, small pillows, small towels, shower shoes, mini flashlights and little garbage bags. You can view their post and pics by selecting “where unit is from” under the drop down list on left, then “massachusetts” then “SGT Diana Hart”
Thanks in advance, everyone!!!
It snuck up on us this year, its already care package time and the deadline is approaching quickly! Just a brief explanation for the newer folks; each fall, we take a collection for care packages to the troops overseas.
This year, I have been in contact with the father of a former student who is currently stationed in Kabul, Afghanistan. He has assured me that the troops love nothing more than receiving care packages from home.
Lists of requested items are available at the dojo and the deadline is November 10th which gives us very little time. Lets make sure the guys know that we appreciate everything they do!

A big thank you to Danny Dring for last night’s grappling seminar, a good time was had by all. Its always nice to have the opportunity to learn new techniques and see some of the ones you know through someone else’s perspective, giving you a fresh way to see some of the things you’ve been working. We particularly liked working some of his chokes and sneaky choke entries. Good luck to those of you who could not make it!
