RSK is growing!Our class sizes are slowly creeping up. Of course, I expect these things to be cyclical, having seen literally hundreds of people join and drop classes. However, it's a LOT of fun to have 12, 15, 18 (Monday's class!) students kickin' it in that small room. It poses an interesting class management issue, but that's something we need to learn to handle. » read the entire item »

Yesterday's Practice8/6/07 (Monday)
There are nights you feel great (!) after practice and many other nights you feel discouraged or frustrated with your progress.

I lead the class. » read the entire item »
NorCal Tournament 2007Saturday, May 19, 2007
This year's tournament was a big success. [To Brad] As far as I remember, there were about 10 women (including an 8th kyu - That's the spirit!) for Women's division, over 30 brown belts and 17 black belts with Tim.
Our Amazing Weekend of Women's Practice 2007 (March 2, 3 & 4)We had stormy weather for more than a week in Northern California. It cleared up "a day" before our trip to Shotokan Ohshima Dojo in Santa Barbara. Lynette (a professional photographer who joined Redding Shotokan several months ago) and I were both very excited when we left Redding in her car Friday morning. After 9 hours of long drive, we finally got to Carpinteria. We were both ready for sushi! If you don't know it yet, Sushi Teri is the place to go when you are there. Sushi, miso soup and everything was simply oishii!! » read the entire item »
