THURSDAY, 27 AUGUST 2015 IN NORTH PORT

We traveled from Sarasota to Earl Delvalle's academy (www.nokido.net) in North Port for the 7:00 p.m. adult class. I taught two different approaches to achieving Americana and one for kimura. For my efforts, Earl provided me with a foot sweep tool that I have been longing after for a long time. It will help us in judo immensely. I had a great time while teaching Earl's highly disciplined and respectful students. As an added bonus, my long-time friend and fellow martial arts practitioner Dan Lowman (www.kmofflorida.com) came up from Ft. Myers to hang out before and after the class with me. He and I will be getting together in a couple of weeks to train.
