A lot of moves and a lot of fun – 11/16/08 – Kick for Cures

November 16, 2008 by doug 2 Comments

Today was our Kick for Cures event and it was a great success.  By the time we were finished, our club had already raised near $75,000.

For the first time, since I have been doing this event, it felt easy.  I would normally be ready to drop after an hour of kicks, punches and blocks but I felt so good, I ended up staying and doing another 1000 moves along with my wife and son.

It was a great event with a lot of great people and all for a good cause.

If anyone would still like to donate, you can do so at the Kick for Cures website,  There is still time until the end of this month.  Yo

    Is Sensei Gatch’s 1st name William (he did the kata demo at the ISKC banquet this month). If yes, where are the classes at which he’s the sensei? Thanks.
