Dear Students, Teachers and Parents,

Our new location should be opening around July 7th. ABBA has
partnered up with Kyoshi Larry Lamz of the Institute of Martial Arts
and will be opening a martial arts center at 2304 E. Bijou. This
location will help us serve our customers closer to the center of the
city. We will concentrate the classes at the new locations on
Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays to complement the schedule at the
north school.

Mark your calendars – Saturday July 5th we will be hosting a training
camp up in Crystal Park. Training in the morning, a cookout at the
clubhouse at noon and then a mountain hike in the afternoon for those
interested. A $20 charge will cover the training, clubhouse fee and
food. No extra charge for the clean air and beautiful view. Please
pick up a registration form at the main dojo.

On a different note. Several people that know I am a real estate
investor. I have been asked in the past to teach them my success
proven system of investing. Diana and I have decided to offer a bi-
weekly class and 1-on-1 training for a select few people and begin
teaching them our proven system that has generated returns of over
50% a year. If you would like more information on this program please
e-mail me personally at kyoshibryan@....

Lesson Of The Week

Happy Fathers Day

As many of you may already know, ABBA is the Hebrew word for Father.
In the martial arts, Sensei is the word for someone that walks before
and takes on the role of a father figure in the dojo. I have been
blessed with having taught thousands of students over the last 30
plus years and like a father have watched the students grow to
achieve successes in areas that they could have only dreamed about in
the beginning of their training.

As you become a black belt in your own right and begin teaching your
own students, you too will experience this wonderful sense of self-
satisfaction as you give to others and watch as your efforts improve
people's lives. After all, it is not about all the things you gather,
or the titles you earn, but about what you do to improve society that
brings the true feelings of success and satisfaction.

As a student of karate we know the meaning of duty and
responsibility. We strive to always show courtesy and respect to
those senior to us, as well as, those junior to us. We understand
that a person is born into this world with a debt, and that they only
way to repay that debt is through our actions. How does one repay his
parents for given him the precious gift of life itself? You cannot
write a check when you turn 18 and count it even. No, the only way
you can repay that debt is to insure that you bring honor and respect
to the family name through your own actions.

The martial arts are the same. How do you repay your Sensei for
giving you this precious gift that has tremendous life changing
capabilities? No, the tuition you pay helps keep the school covering
its overhead, but the way you repay your debt to the school and your
style is in your actions when you are in the dojo and in public. You
represent the organization every day, 24-7. It is in your
relationship with others and the way you treat them that will repay
your debt.

On this special day, please take the time to remember all the things
that were done for you and especially by your father. Oh, and by the
way Dad, I love you and happy fathers day.

Respectfully,
Terry Bryan
