CSE- Boston

Class Bulletins

I'd like to formally welcome the new students who have joined us this

summer:

Joel Applewiathe - started June 2008

Trace Hamrick - started July 2008

They are both doing very well so far and are very excited to have joined our school.

In September 2008, we will be starting a 12 week stick intensive program to get people up to speed on the 12 strikes and 36 counters.  We realized that some people have been with us for awhile and have not seen strikes/counters past #6.  Week #1 will cover strike #1 and it's 3 basic counters.  Week #2 will cover strike #2 and it's 3 basic counters.  This will continue for 12 weeks until we have covered all 12 strikes and their counters.  It is important for you to make it to every class if you intend on participating in this program.  During this program, we will not be covering any of the principles or concepts.  This program will run during the 7p to 8p portion of the class. This stick intensive class is NOT just for beginners.  This class is open to and valuable for ALL levels of students. 

The advanced instructor training class will also start in September, but will only be held on the second Wednesday of every month from 7p to 9p.

This class is only for those who are certified basic instructors. 

We are also getting ready to start taping for the next volume in our DVD training series.  This will possibly happen on Saturday, August 9th.  If you don’t mind being  in the video, feel free to come to class that day to help us out.  Taping will begin at 12noon and continue until about 3p or 4p.  If you have any questions regarding this day, please call Brian at 617-869-0516. 

That’s all I have for now.  If there’s something I missed, let me know and I’ll try to address it.  Hope to see some of you in class tonight.  We do have someone coming to check out our class tonight so it would be great if some of you could be there to talk about the class. 

Take care… be safe… and see you all soon!!

Hi,

A few weeks ago, I sent out a message asking what everyone thought
about cancelling classes on Wednesdays and got mixed reponses. Some
of you were ok with the idea and others felt Thursdays would be a
better day to cancel. Here's what we came up with: we're going to
alternate days. We will have classes every Tuesday and Saturday.
This week, CSE - Boston will be closed on Tuesday for New Year's Day
and on Wednesday. There will be class on Thursday. For next week,
there will be class on Wednesday, but the school will be closed on
Thursday. Make sense? Check out the calendar on the group page to
see the schedule. We'll try this out for two months and then see how
everyone feels about it. If it works, then we'll keep it. If not,
we'll have to decide which day to permanently cancel.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns regarding
this change.

Thank you and have a Happy New Year!

Brian and Trish

Congratulations to Guro Martin!

Martin Kemp received his Basic Instructor certification today!  He has worked very hard over the years to become proficient in the 12 strikes and 36 counters of serrada.  Martin will be an excellent instructor to carry on the principles of CSE-Boston.  Please feel free to use him as a resource since teaching and training others will now be a large part of his own training and development as a martial artist. 

Great job Martin!
