- PAST progress on the new Burbank Studio.
The climbing wall is up! That is
right, our new traverse
climbing wall is now finished.
It is 8ft tall and covers about
200sqft. Bralio Garcia, Julian's
dad, used his construction
expertise to make Sensei
Kim's concept a reality and
give us this super cool
addition to our new space.
Julian helped a ton and Melina
and Karol helped with the
finishing touches of getting the
hand holds on. They are blue
and black and some are
shaped like bugs and other
critters. It is so fun and a great
work-out. We were all
sweating after testing it out,
even Bralio had to give it a try.
We also got the outside trim
painted and some interior
details like our
doorway-double-dragons.
If you are in the area and see
the front door open, we are
probably there working so
come say "HI" and check it
out!

- GSP at Blue Dragon!
Georges St. Pierre was at Blue Dragon Martial Arts in Burbank this last week! The UFC Welterweight
Champion came in to work some drills for his upcoming fights and worked out right along side our
Lil'Dragons.
Georges was a very respectful, humble and polite Martial Artist - you can tell he got his start in Karate
(Kyokushin). I was told one reason why he began training in Karate as a kid was because he was getting
picked on in school. So see kids, Karate can be a great tool for you now and in the future, no matter your
goals.
Karate is fast becoming one of the new foundation arts for Mixed Martial Artists along side - wrestling,
boxing, Muay Thai and Jiu-Jitsu.
Thank you Georges, it was an honor to have you on the mats at Blue Dragon!
