2002 SUPER SUMMER SEMINARS

20TH CAMP

Twenty years and it seems like only yesterday!  Almost 300 participants and staff helped make this year's camp a huge success.  As always everything ran like clockwork and everyone was energized and excited all weekend long.  Our Three Special Guest Instructors - Master Fumio Demura (of Karate Kid fame), Soke-Dai Ed Melaugh (Small-Circle Jujitsu), & Mike Pombiero (1998 Black Belt Magazine Competitor of the Year) helped to make our 20th unique and well balanced.
