Promotion to 9th degree Black Belt 

Sensei Ed Melaugh was promoted to 9th degree Black Belt on Saturday Jan 23, 2016

I was both surprised and honored that I earned this new rank, I have been training and teaching since 1972 and have run my own full time school since May 1990. 

After Sensei Ed's promotion we went to training, we had a great class of 3 hours. Sensei Mark brought up 3 of his Black Belts from his school Barry Brennan, Tony Peters and Phil Kouffman.  It was so great to see them. it is always wonderful  to get everyone together from the schools to train and reconnect. even in our school sometimes are students and Black Belts don't see each other due to morning and evening class times.

So many great achievements have come my way with the martial arts, first training with my first instructor Sensei Dave Castoldi who gave me the important foundation of thinking Street first, I spent 18 years with Dave. In 1978 I was able to be introduced to Prof. Wally Jay and trained under him and was a partner with him at hundreds of clinic, seminars and demonstrations and was picked as a Soke Dai

(inheritor) to the Small Circle System. Sijo James Demile was so important to my training bringing in the Wing Chun do side ( Sijo was trained by the late Bruce Lee) Sijo also brought in the street side of the martial arts and the entering and trapping that became so important to the way we train now with Small Circle JuJitsu. 

Other notable achievements are becoming a World Champion in 1996 in Self Defense, being inducted into the World Martial Arts Hall of Fame, winning many self defense competitions , Teaching all over the United States, Europe, and Bermuda.

Many Thanks to all my students and Instructors who have taken this life long journey in the Martial Arts with me.

Big Congratulations to 

Sensei Mark Tuthill

7th Degree Black Belt

on his promotions to 7th Degree Black Belt.  On December 20th in Bermuda, I promoted Mark to his 7th degree Black Belt thru Mark's hard work and determination he has proven over and over again that he deserved this new promotion. Mark started his training with me in 1994 coming up from Long Island NY every month for years and still continues to train with Sensei Ed Melaugh.

Denmark Trip

We had such a great time on my trip to Denmark,  Karsten Dam was a fantastic host.  the event was in the city of Esjberg a small coastal town on Denmarks western boarder. Friday night I taught at the Esjberg Karate club and had the priviledge of teaching his Black Belts in a special class for them.

 

Saturday was a fun day, we had a large group of Martial Artists from all over Denmark, Germany, Iceland, Finland.  It was  an enthusiastic group who had a thirst for learn something new.  It is always fun to experience things from a differant culture.  For lunch I was treated to to bread with thin pieces of local chocolate,  Outstanding !!! The group was so kind that they bought me a box of their chocolate Galle & Jessen to bring home with me.

On Sunday we drove to Coppenhagen and experienced the beautiful parks, old world arcitecture, food, and took a boat trip on the canals.  We also went to the Tivoli Amusement park, the oldest amusement park in the world.  We had a really fun day.  The next day we visited the coast and saw the giant statues that overlook the ocean looking for lost fisherman and visited World War 2 German bunkers on the coast.  Many thanks to a great host Karsten Dam and all his students, I felt very welcomed I look forward to seeing them again.
