Six Yoshukai Karate students from Gerry Blanck’s Martial Arts Center just received their first-degree Black Belt certificates from Japan. Sensei Blanck is especially proud of this group because most of them have trained with him since the 3-6 age group and all of them are from Pacific Palisades: 12-year-olds Jessica Taft and Liam Pang-Naylor and 10-year-olds Gavrielle Wind, Greta Zumbrunnen, Skylar Saltzman and Ethan Appelbaum-Schwartz. The Martial Arts Center will host a Thanksgiving Kids Martial Arts Camp from Monday, November 25 through Wednesday, November 27 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. daily. Pictured above in the back row (left to right) are Sensei Gerry Blanck, Skylar Saltzman, Liam Pang-Naylor, Jessica Taft and Sensei Marc Lamaze. In the front row are Ethan Applebaum-Schwartz, Gavrielle Wind and Greta Zumbrunnen.
