Hi Guys,

Here you will find Silverstrand Dojo International Martial Arts Review number 17.  We are very excited about this issue because we have some very good articles on philosophy, training, and techniques.  Now that this issue is out, we truly feel that it was a blessing.  This is because for a month the island has experienced very serious internet problems which made the process of constructing the newsletter very slow and difficult.  It just goes to show you, just like training in the martial arts, when it seems like things are very difficult and hopeless, just do your best and have faith.  So a big thank you to you all, as always, for the hard work and support you give.  And a very special thank you to Joellen Friesner for all the wonderful work, patience, and problem solving she so selflessly gave on this edition.

 

As always,

Your friend,

Ray
