Our family volunteers at SMUM (Santa Maria
Urban Ministry, San Jose, CA) for Studio 17, the after school homework and computer
lab. SMUM is the official charity of the
Episcopal Diocese of El Camino Real.
Studio 17 is offering a summer program of field trips, camping, cookouts, etc.
My daughter Jessica volunteered to teach three Saturday karate and self-defense
classes as part of the summer program. Jessica earned her provisional
Shito Ryu Karate Black Belt in 2006, her
Shodan rank in 2007, and with two other girls started a
Taekwondo and Shito-Ryu club at
Carnegie Mellon University last year. Here is Jessica teaching her first two
SMUM classes:
1st class – first pushups

2nd class – instructions
