Your Japanese word of the week is...

"seiko" 成功 which means "success".  And the big success this past while was the PSWK Summer Karate Camp 2010 which ran from July 5-23rd, every Monday - Friday 3-5pm.  We had hoped for about 6 kids to register which was the minimum we needed to make the rent and we got almost double that.  The picture below was the class on the second last day, minus one family of 3 and Sensei Erica.

One of the best parts of the camp was that every student had at most one year's worth of lessons.  This meant we could have the whole class working together on lots of stuff and that just makes it more fun.  And for the slightly higher ranking belts, I had a team kata project to work on for the three weeks which turned out GREAT!

Of course, summer = fun as well...

It was also a great chance to introduce lots of new students to karate and to PSWK so here's to hoping that they all show up again in September!  And make sure to scroll down for more pics.

In the meantime, school is winding down and I've got a few more neat little outings with pictures I'll be posting in a little bit.  Til then... =)
