Congratulations Lauren and Wendy!

All,

As previously mentioned; Mrs. Wendy Nader And Ms. Lauren Cagen were to demonstrate their technical knowledge and ability of Ken Shin Kan Goju Ryu on Saturday the 22nd of March 2008. I would like to state that they did so with great poise and very strong spirit (Ken Shin). In My eyes the two great women have overcome a great deal to reach this milestone in their karate training and personal lives and it has been my pleasure to watch them become who they are today; as am sure all of you consider them as well as I do, please join me in supporting their continued journey in the Budo. The intensity was excellent!

Respectfully,

One of them has practicaly grown up in the martial arts and the second has has been with our school for since late 2003. both of them make the best of their time on the tatami and have demostrated the necessary requirements to present for their Shodan examination on March the 22nd 2008. I would like to take this moment to offer my support during this important milestone in the lives of these two martial artits. It is not oftent we have the pleasure to watch so many years of hard work come to fruition so I ask that all of you join me me in the show of support on Saturday 22nd 2008 in Dojo Ken Shin Kan Miami. Once again I would like to state my admiration for these two ladies as their comitment, talent and energy is unique and demands recognition.
