2010 USA Karate Nationals - update

2010 USA Karate Nationals

Congratulations to every one, competitors and staff alike. It was great to be back in the south. Greenville SC provided a welcome venue with southern hospitality as USA Karate held its 2010 Team Trials and National Championships. We will have a more substantive article in coming days as we have yet to go through all our photos. We do have posed shots from our backdrop and many of the podium photos that we were able to take during the event. See Photos here

Overall we had a good time visiting with many old friends and meeting new ones too. Unfortunately there were a number that were no longer with us. Yes there will always be change but it is always sad to lose old friends. On a brighter note life has been good for us in NYC. I am now teaching at web design at Long Island University and a new job at the United Nations working on the web. We truly are blessed. This keeps us pretty busy so we hope you can appreciate our efforts to get the photos online. The action shots are in progress. We will be contacting many of you for feedback and articles. We remain your news and information source - working together trying to make a difference.

Happy New Year (Chinese)

American Samurai in Manhattan

Most of you know us will agree that we have been very blessed recently. We have just moved back to Manhattan. This will make things much more convenient. With our new location on 120th St. we can easily commute to the United Nations and Long Island University. With the 12 foot ceilings we can have a proper photo shoot and enjoy the cuisine of Spanish Harlem. Happy New Year!
