Thank You Sensei. Osu!

Sensei,

I'm in Reston, VA as I mentioned the other day.

While I've been here I've had the opportunity to try three different Martial arts classes, Taekwondo, Thai-Chi and Jujitsu. I had many different opinions of all the classes (of course). If you're interested I'll tell you about them in greater detail next time I see you.

In each class I asked the instructor if I could visit their class and told them what my martial arts background is.

Mr. and Mrs. Israel Kam and Ms. Friedlander request the pleasure of your company at the marriage of their children Aviva & Eric Saturday, the twentieth of April, 2002 at three o’clock Sunset Pavilion Cape May, NJ Reception to follow at the Hotel Alcott.
