Featured Activity

Cane Self-Defense
Time: Thursdays 10:00 a.m.
Cost: $10.00 members
      $10.00 non-members
Location: Exercise Room
Description: This month we'd like to shine the spotlite one something all of us could use. Some self defense. Specifically Cane Self Defense. The class is how to defend yourself using your cane or walking stick. Taught by Senior Master Jim Willoughby. He has taught the class for nearly four years. He has been involved in martial arts for over 50 years, is a member of the Masters 2012 Hall of Fame. Senior Master Willoughbys' thoughts on the class is simple. Everyone else was teaching kids, and he had a bad knee so he and former instructor Grandmaster Pierre Bergere put a class together that takes seniors limits and disabilities into account. There are other cane classes out there, but they require a full range of motion. This class does not. The class also focuses on the redirection of power, and not necessarily attack. It is a fun class for serious situations. Everyone is welcome, but remember to bring your cane or walking sticks. Also, dress in comfortable clothing. The class meets at 10 a.m., and the cost is $10 per week. For more information call us at (909)862-8104. Remember, the best offense is a good defense.
Wii Bowling - Seniors vs Cops vs Firemen
By: Mike Sylva
If you looked out at the parking lot, you might have thought all heck was busting loose at the center, what with firetrucks and cop car parked out front. However, it wasn’t a bad thing. They came to the center to participate in a very special Wii Bowling match.

The firemen and police officers played against our Wii Bowling Leagues Top Team. Fire consisted of C. Valenzuela, G. Mowat, R. Acevedo, and John Hagen (a former deputy who subbed for them). The Cops consisted of R. Collins, E. Ogaz, M. Maker, and E. Popa. Now the fact that the seniors bowl every week, year round, while the firemen and cops haven’t Wii Bowled in years didn’t discourage our safety personnel. And while the scores may not reflect it, they actually did well. Final scores were: Seniors 1747, Cops 1196, and Fire 1173. We hope to make this an annual classic. Who knows how it will turn out next year with a year to practice.
