It is good to see our members using this website to communicate with each other. Please share what is going on in your clubs with the rest of us. Regards

I see that some of the information on my previous post is little dated, so I thought I would take time to update it. At the AKS Summer Camp in June 2005 I was promoted to 7th Dan by Mr. Lieb and the other senior AKS BLack Belts. It was at this time I was also made an Asst Chief Instructor for the American Karate System. I still teach The American Karate Club at Ross Park School here in Muskegon. We have been teaching at this facility for over 15 years. And I am very fortunate that I have between 8 to 10 Black Belts on the floor every class to help teach our students. We balance our training with basics, forms, self defense and competitive sparring. I think our biggest asset is that many of our students are family members training together. We have children, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers even grandmothers and grandfathers training together. It is one of the few activities that they can enjoy as equals, if they choose. It is a great group of people that we have and makes the training always a good time.

Hello Mr. Thomas
I was present at the 2005 Summer Camp and remember you well. You and your family were very hospitable to myself, Mr. Sprouse, and my brother, Joe. We made the long drive out from West Virginia together; meeting up with our instructor, Mr. Krum, to meet, train, and learn from everyone. The Summer Camp was great, as was meeting and eating with everyone afterwards. Thanks again. Hopefully several of us under Mr. Sprouse will be able to attend the 2007 Summer Camp in Michigan.
