Hello NKCG. It will be good to meet you all when this storm passes. My name is Mr. Dan Schultz and I have been a friend of many of the NKCG black belts for many years (Mr. McDonough tied my first black belt on many many years ago). I am looking forward to learning the NK system over the next several weeks (hopefully not months, but as I look down at the midsection, it may be months!) and crossing my black belt over to NK so that we can work together, that is if it's OK with Mr. McDonough and Mr. Albertson.
While NKCG is shut down, please pay attention to this page and the messages being sent by Mr. McDonough and Mr. Albertson. Try to do as much as you are able at home (or outside if the weather is nice like today!), work hard, and have fun!
It's good to be back and, again, I am looking forward to meeting as many of you as I can when we fire it back up.
GET YOUR STUFF READY!
