Open Invitation for New Shooters
Just want to extend an open invitation to all potential new shooters in the Northern Virginia area. If you have never shot a firearm, or would like to get back into the shooting sports, or are an accomplished shooter who'd like to try something in my arsenal, give me a shout.
New shooters get range time, targets, gun use and ammo on me. I've even got extra eye and ear protection - all you have to do is show up.
Send e-mail to my profile if interested.

That's cool.
Outstanding!
Congratulations on the young gentleman's accomplishment.
Congratulations to young Master G for a job well done.
Woo-hoo!
Super! Congrast to young G :-)
Congrats to young Master G.
Good job, Ninja-in-training! Continue on this path, and you'll reap the benefits.
That is very impressive - congratulations (and a mazel tov too!)
Congratulations to TheBoy!
We're ALL proud of his accomplishment, that's excellent. :)
Well done.
Guess that's the kiddie-version black belt... what style? Karate looks like the likely culprit with that black Gi and high kicking patch on it, but you never know, and even if it is, karate itself doesn't say much without the style.
*tries to restrain himself from commenting on reputation of american black belts*
Kempo karate. And yes, it's the "kid" black belt. He's not a full black belt yet, mind you - he still needs to surmount that hurdle in the coming year.
And thanks everyone. I'm damn proud of my boy...
Did a little search on that, found some demonstration videos... and couldn't stop myself from mentally correcting the instructor. Bad Posture! His training dummy had better posture though. ;)
I also noted a number of times where he gave up control he had already achieved to do a minor strike, not my cuppa.
Probably better than what I've trained for teaching to kids though, simply because kids shouldn't be training with joint locks(they're more fragile and can easily cause damage to eachother in training). So not a bad choice there Jay.
A hint to boy G if he wants to improve his technique, which may be missing from what he's been taught: Posture: push your ass out, chest forward, shoulders back, and stay straight, never bend when you do a technique, you lose power. When you use this posture, you will have more power and will be much sturdier(a fun way to test this is standing normally and having someone push down on your shoulder, then adopting this posture and having them try the same. In the first case you'll lose balance and probably fall down, in the second case they'll be unable to budge you).
That's real samurai posture, and it's disappeared in most modern styles, to their detriment.
Another small but important principle to remember is feet-body-arms(achi-koshi-te). How to generate power in technique. Feet first, then body, arms last. Each preceding step is an order of magnitude stronger than the next. Even boxers know this. ;)
