12/22/2009:  I received in the mail Kajukenbo Senior Grandmaster Tony Lasit's official biography, which is now posted on our site.

 
12/17/2009:  Merry Christmas everyone!  I hope all is well with you and your family.  Thanks again to everybody who has helped build and promote our website by providing pictures, videos, information, articles, advice, and more.  We launched this website in November 2005.  It has grown so much since then and represents all the different LOTUS teachers and schools worldwide.  However, I noticed that for the year 2009, we had approximately 3,148 less internet visits than what we had for the year 2007.  Instead of more visits we had less.  That surprised me for several reasons: (1) each year more people are gaining access to the internet, (2) each year we should be getting more LOTUS students and more black belts, (3) this non-partisan website has received the input of so many different LOTUS instructors and students that this website should be the website promoted on business cards, flyers, dojo posters, etc.  For this website to continue to grow and represent all LOTUS members, I encourage you to reference our website when possible and appropriate, and also contribute by joining our forum and emailing me pictures, videos, and articles.  Thank you.

 
05/02/2009:  Greetings everyone!  Many of you know that I recently moved to Italy, and that massive move helped me get behind on updating our website.  Well, I'm back in business.  Our guestbook has two new entries, and three more of Ajarn Mack Petry's black belts have been added to our black belt biographies page.  Check it out.  Also, Mike Miener has told me he has pictures from Thailand he plans to scan and email me.  I look forward to being able to share them with you as soon as I get them.

 
02/20/2009:  New photos from our Atlanta, Georgia Gathering.  Thank you Ajarn Michael Weeks for hosting it under such short notice.

 
10/31/2008:  Happy Halloween!  A new article on realistic training tips has been uploaded on the website and on the forum.  The good thing about the forum is it allows you to make comments and/or post questions.

 
10/17/2008:  Hello everybody!  I just want to share with you how successful our website has been, and I credit everybody who has helped me by providing pictures, videos, information, articles, advice, and more.  Thank you.  For the year 2007, our website had approximately 25,694 visits.  For this website to continue to grow, I encourage you to reference our website when possible and appropriate.  I also encourage you to please go to our forum section and become an active member.  This is a great place to post questions, ideas, training advice, and responses.  Let's get more involved.
