Busy Summer

It has been a busy summer and the blog has been neglected for a little while, but here's a summer wrap up, better late than never. Spring ended with a tournament at Stanford University, with another great showing from Team Elite. (See results below) June brought the annual ETA picnic and Black Belt Ceremony where Joshua Esteva, Austin Kim, Peter Oh, Mackenzie Iverson and Ajay Singh received their Black Belts. Congratulations guys!!! Rounding out the summer, Mrs. Avila became the owner of Livermore Gymnastic Center where she has been the team coach for the last 10 years. Mr. & Mrs. Avila have been busy renovating the gymnastic center for it's grand reopening in September.

New Dojang

Here are some pictures of the new dojang. We began classes on Feb. 1 and it has been great to have the extra space, 600 sqft more than the old dojang. There are still many things to do to complete the move but the journey of a thousand miles is made one step at a time. I wanted to thank all of you who lent a helping hand with the move, especially my father and father-in-law who did a beautiful job with the new cubbies and benches.

Happy New Year / New Studio

We have some exciting news to start the new year out with! ETA will be moving to a larger space within our shopping center by the end of January. Our new home, 53 Wright Brothers Ave. #B, is located between Kitty Hawk Dental and Cafe Paradiso. As class sizes have grown at ETA over the past 6 years there are times that we need some extra elbow room. The new studio gives us 600 sq. ft. more space to stretch out in. More than likely we will be moving to the new space by the middle of January. As soon as the space is ready we will be heading over there!!!
