Winter Battle Tournament Held on Jan. 31st Ft. Oglethorpe, GA Congratulations to Kenneth Summerlin (on left) and Anthony Mendez (on right) Both fought their way to Gold Medals Hanmudo /Hapkido News On Saturday, February 21st, Master Chaplin offered a free self defense class to our local community . He taught a few basic techniques done with elbows, knees and palm strikes. He then covered how to escape from choke holds and wrist grabs. Overall, a very informative class. We all had fun and learned a lot at the same time. Many thanks to Master Damon Excell, Cathy Smith, Morgan Everett and Armando Salinas for donating body parts and time. And thank you so much Master Chaplin for sharing your information and helping us stay safe! Gateway offers free training throughout the year, so check the website regularly for future dates. “When it comes to self defense, the only difference between being a victim or being victorious is self defense training.” By Master Betty Amodeo I know we all start out each new year with renewed determination to live a healthier life for the upcoming year. To exercise regularly, reduce stress and eat a more balanced diet. I do ok with the exercise part but could use some help with the balanced diet :). That is why I am glad I have the help of Juice Plus+. Today, good nutrition is universally accepted as essential to good health. The whole food nutrition of fruits and vegetables, in particular, have been shown to help reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, and cancer. Many health professionals have seen how Juice Plus+ can help men, women and children alike to improve their nutrition. When Grandmaster Amodeo was diagnosed with cancer, the Oncologist recommended he start taking Juice Plus+ to make sure he was receiving the nutrition he needed while on chemotherapy. I started taking them too. That was over 5 years ago and I am still enjoying the benefits of the 17 fruits and vegetables found in Juice Plus+. The biggest change I noticed was an improvement in my vision. They now offer JP+ Gummies for kids. It is great to be able to offer your child improved nutrition for less than $25.00 a month. I am excited about sharing this product (and the opportunity to be a distributor in times when we could all use the extra money). If you are interested in learning more about this product and the amazing clinical research studies that support the addition of this whole food in a pill…..check out my website…www.juiceplus.com/+ba16458 There are also brochures located in the lobby.
