WORLD MARTIAL ARTS CENTER

Though 2004 was the Year of the Monkey in the Chinese calendar, at WMAC it turned out to be the Year of the Baby. Many students were blessed with their 1st or 2nd child. Jonathan Thalasinos (1st dan),Chris Perez (1st dan), Susan Ferrugio (high blue), Lucy Bekheet (high green) and Ron Haynes (high blue) all celebrated the births of their 1st child. Annie and James Bai (1st dans) welcomed Luke Bai in December. Back in October, James’ brother, Steve and his wife Jennifer (both former students of WMAC, now living out in California) also celebrated the birth of their baby boy. Angela Sanchez (1st dan) is expecting her first child in April as well as Joachim Marx (1st dan), Josh Blaker (1st dan) and Philip Martinez (high blue) who are both looking forward to their 2nd child in the upcoming months. At the rate we are going, there just might be a demand for a toddler class in a couple of years!
