Already my 16th blog, I begin by reporting that the cinema outing for our youth was an overwhelming success. No less than 62 Kids and supervisors had a wonderful afternoon and fully enjoyed the special Kung Fu training for our youth. After Jerry welcomed the kids, Noël warmed them up and Jeremy took care of the game element. After the Kids warmed up, a special course Jerry had come up with was completed. After a cup of lemonade and a cheese sandwich it was off to the JT movie theater.
At the parking lot a double-decker bus of the company Wijdemeren Tours was ready and headed for the cinema. After everyone put on their 3D glasses, they watched the movie and then returned to the Dojo via the same bus. There our Judo team of The New Gentle Way was ready to give everyone an ice cream as a farewell.
Herewith a brief filmed account of this happening.

Locker Room
Our locker room has been given a new tile floor and walls by the 3 Daltons, Grandpa, Dad and Son Ouwerkerk. All this was done completely selflessly and we are very happy with that. A compliment for the professional work done is therefore in order.

Open 24 hours
We are currently working hard to create a shower on the 2nd floor.
This is especially important when we open the Fitness and Crossfight space for 24 hours in early May.
Such an opening will bring some headaches, now the situation is that except for a few hours on weekends, there is always someone from our team.
With 24 hours a day it will be different but we think we have found a solution for that. Further details will follow as soon as possible.

One Gym One Family
What I have noticed lately is that more and more individual athletes are finding their way to our Dojo during the day, by which I mean the actual Dojo where, among other things, the bag trainings are given. About six months ago only the regular morning training was visited in varying numbers, but now I notice that more and more couples can be found on the floor.
For example, almost every day at 9 a.m. a Boxing team of about 5 to 6 people can be found alternating between training on the bag and in the ring.
In addition, I regularly see some MMA guys training at various times.
You can also see Fred Sikking regularly providing private training in our Dojo.
Our own trainers are also regularly on the floor giving private lessons.
So folks you just want to do some training for yourself during the day, you are welcome to do so. Of course you must be a member of our family.

Until my next blog,
Dick
