Blogs : This week has been a real experience! Each day we learned a piece of real judo. Tenzin: this week was definitely entertaining. And we were learning. Driss: It was fun, not boring and taught us how to defend ourselves. Today was particularly fun because we got to fight our partners in a tournament. Brennan: The black belt demonstration was astonishing. Jose and Gustavo: We felt like we now have some skills to defend ourselves.
Nancy: We discussed earlier about the outline of the martial arts presentation–great ideas! We will be going out to breakfast Friday am and then put the presentation together for the rest of the morning. Oh, yesterday ET took us to a friend’s restaurant in Chinatown where we ate and ate and ate.
