From Sensei Joe Morejon of Black Belts For Christ about the Demo at their Annual Banquet in Albany, GA - "IT WAS FANTASTIC.  The K.I.C.K. Team really blew everyone away.  People got emotional with the patriotic presentation.  It was the perfect start to the event and set the upbeat mood for the night.  I just don't know how we'll top ourselves next year.  Please thank everyone on the team and Mr. Won.  You guys really are THE BEST."
