YMAA Retreat Center - Thu, 02/04/2010 - 23:57

The disciples were invited to demonstrate at their local high school in Miranda, CA. We hope to set up a club at the South Fork High School and create friendly relations with the community.

Jonathan Chang and Patrick Manriquez have made significant progress in their training, especially in speed, power, and accuracy. Zach Cohen, Javier Rodriguez, and Jacyhm Jerie, who are all a part of the second generation of disciples, have demonstrated much improvement since beginning the program only 6 months ago.
