Hello,

It has been a long time since I posted here. It seems sometimes that with all that is going on it just gets harder and harder to post here, and on facebook, and the web site, and deal with emails.

I want to send out a big "Thank You" to my wife, Frances Cuartas. Without her all of the multimedia for Family Dragon Karate would not be possible. What a great job she is doing and continues to come up with a geat newsletter every month (if you are not recieving our news letter and would like to subscribe send us an email at andresfdk@optimum.net).

Also, today is Frances' Birthday. Happy Birthday Fran!

Here we are almost half way into February and we have already been so active this year. We had our very first night out with our adult students at Jeff's Cuisine in Norwalk, CT, celebrated Chinese New year next door to the studio at Asia Hamachi, had four new students become Jr. Black Belts, and 9 others get promoted further into their Jr. Black Belts, started a new session of Elite Team training (Chinese Broad Sword), and this Friday we will be hosting our Valentine's Parent's night out!

Next month we will be promoting 6 other students further into their Jr. Black belts and one to an adult Black Belt. We will also be going to our first tournament of the year. This one will be a Kempo tournametent that we attended last year and did a great job, scored many trophies and medals, and had a lot of fun. For the adults we will be having a dinner and movie night at Jeff's Cuisine.

Family Dragon Karate Rocks! We are so excited to continue to serve and work with such wonderful people!
