All of the gathered C&S Self Defense Association Grandmasters, Masters, and Disciples with Nidan Art and Dave Shuler's students at the Effingham Lake Land College location gym prior to the senior group leaving for the 04-19-2007 All Disciple Retreat In Illinois.

C&S Self Defense Association was formed in 1992 for the benefit of Grandmaster Peter Rose's direct Disciples who believed in Grandmaster's vision of the Art and all of life. Our Association, our family, is built upon the strength of character in its members. This is not something that happens overnight. It is a process that is worked on over a period of time, but this is time well spent. The goal of the Association is to provide a solid base for the members to strive for achievement in personal self defense and in personal self fullfillment.

Cancer benefit tourney April of 2011 held in Gilmanton put on by Georghan Verrigan's White Tiger School that our Yondan Russ Jones Sachem club attended. Yondan opened the entire tournament with Wo Kon Ich. Scott, Andrew and Dave Baxter also did forms. Geoff did one of his Goju forms and also sparred. He got 2nd place in both. Scott got 4th for Bassai. All in all it was an eye opening experience. I may start a tournament team for young adults.
