Congratulations Stephen for passing your Yakan Tatlo test and moving on to the Intermediate class.  Keep up the hard work!

We have just set the dates for a seminar with Grand Tuhon Leo T. Gaje, Jr.  Grand Tuhon is the original source for all that we do in Kali.  I recommend you attend to experience learning from Grand Tuhon regardless of your skill level.

The Tactical Arts Academy co-hosted Guru Besar Dadang Gunawan with Doc Dority, Tim Lee, Bill Stutesman, Kelly Smith and the guys of  Pencak Silat Dallas.  William, Derek, Zach and I all went to Dallas this past weekend. 

Great work James in completing your Yakan Tatlo test and moving into the Intermediate Kali classes.  Keep hitting hard!

More studies are coming out that relate exercise to improvements in memory and cognitive skills.  Even though the tests cited in this article were done primarily with old ladies and rats, the information is interesting.  The researchers even found a way to get rats lifting weights!  If they can do it....  Check out the article in the New York Times:

The Tactical Arts Academy of Austin, Texas is looking for a great part time CrossFit coach who can become an integral part of our team and eventually expand into more classes and responsibilities as our continued growth requires.
