Mr. Chad Morishita 4th Dan and his student Ms. Tona Foster, 5th Gup, from Salt Lake City, Utah visited McCauley Taekwon-Do and Fitness the weekend of March 15 - 18, 2007.

It was great to have them at our school and training with us.  We were able to help each other brush up on our competition skills in prepartion for the upcoming Nationals/World Qualifiers to be held in Pleasanton, CA, April 27 - 28, 2007.

Mr. Morishita will be competing in the World Qualifiers and Ms. Foster will be competing in her first Nationals.

We spent several hours over three days working on sparring, patterns and drills, and in the non-training hours we had the opportunity for some great food and even better conversations.

Although many of our students were unable to train with Mr. Morishita, those that did appreciated the time that these martial artists took out of their busy schedules to come to Walla Walla and train with us.  We always learn new things and incorporate those new techinques and values into our own school.

Mr. Morishita shared with us his experience of teaching a "Night Of a Thousand Kicks".  I think the name says it all.  I’m not sure how our students enjoyed the fact that Mr. McCauley shared this experience with all of us.  Mr. McCauley thought it was a "Night Of a Thousand Kicks, Per Leg".  Needless to say, there were many sore bodies after that class!

We are anxious to see Mr. Moishita and Ms. Foster at Nationals/World Qualifiers and wish them well in their respective divisions.
