The Retired Clergy and Church Workers Association at Garden Spot Village (GSV),
By Ann Mead Ash
Kirk Wolfe, pastor at Bridgeville Evangelical Congregational Church, teaches karate for several reasons, but one stands out. “The children are my favorite (students) because they think they can’t break a board,” said Wolfe. “They just need to be trained … and when they break a board, you should see their faces … and their confidence goes sky high. That is really fun to watch.” Wolfe and his assistant, Japanese exchange student Natsuki Tsuruyama, will present martial arts techniques at a free demonstration to be held at Bridgeville Evangelical Congregational Church, 5971 Division Highway, Narvon,
on Saturday, March 9, beginning at 4 p.m. The event will include 40 minutes of demonstration, followed by a 20minute question-and-answer period. Area residents of all ages are welcome. “We will be demonstrating all the things the students will be able to learn to do as they progress through their belt ranks,” explained Wolfe, who added that Okinawan karate, which includes the weapons; Korean taekwondo; kendo, which involves a sword; jiu-jitsu; and judo will all be demonstrated. Tsuruyama will demonstrate kendo and jiu-itsu, and Wolfe and some of his students will break boards. “Breaking teaches focus to be able to hit a specific spot, and it shows power,” said Wolfe.
