We Wish You Well, Tom

Tom Dudkiewicz will unfortunately be unable to rejoin the disciples back at the Retreat Center. Tom Dudkiewicz, after suffering from injuries inflicted from an unfortunate car accident last summer break, will be unable to return to the YMAA Retreat Center as a disciple in the 10-year training program.

It is an unfortunate and unexpected turn of events, and we are sorry that he will not continue the training with us. We hope that Tom's experience at the Retreat Center has helped him advance to a better position, understanding, and awareness of his martial arts training, and his life.


Video of Demo at South Fork High

The disciples were invited to demonstrate at their local high school in Miranda, CA. We hope to set up a club at the South Fork High School and create friendly relations with the community.

Jonathan Chang and Patrick Manriquez have made significant progress in their training, especially in speed, power, and accuracy. Zach Cohen, Javier Rodriguez, and Jacyhm Jerie, who are all a part of the second generation of disciples, have demonstrated much improvement since beginning the program only 6 months ago.
