    2007 WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS

    WOW, What a World Championship
     
    First of we got to see both old and new friends: 
           We visited with many Keichu folks
           We were able to see Soke Karl Marx Founder of our style
           We saw Danny Gilliland, the Prewetts, Eldridge Conley (highest ranking Keichu Black Belt besides Soke)
     
    Our Students competed: both Enrique Leon and Tristan Thompson were in attendance.  They each won 1st in their Kata Division and 1st in their sparring division.  4 World championships.
     
    Sensie Jeff won the Black Belt men kata division and was 2nd in fighting (he lost to Adrian Galvan who eventually won the Grand Championship).
     
    We made new friends in Indiana, Ohio, Louisiana and other places.
     
    Your instructor was also elected to the USKA Hall of Fame.  This is a great honor and many never make it.  It is for the Best of the Best and for the Movers and Shakers of the Martial Arts in all the USKA.
     
    We ate great food and enjoyed the city and the people. 
     
    Enrique and Tristan, also attended the National points award ceremony.  Enrique, Tristan, and Matt Fach each won a division and received 1st Place awards.  Tristan was fortunate to be one of the few to win 2 divisions, and he received the All American patch for that honor.
     
    We are excited by all of our students and look forward to creating winning opportunities for each of you, whether it be in tournament or in other areas of your life.

    Ken Middaugh 5th Sr Kyu Kata
    Matt Fach 7th in Sparring
