Coach Knox - ran a free style clinic up in Valley Center last summer. Top notch coaching and he may have got a couple of young converts to the free style arena!! Skill & encouragement from Coach Knox was the key.

Coach Taylor - At the Valley Center tournament, I came off the mat with a first year U6. Coach Taylor was on the hard wood floor on his (est 60 yr ??) knees working with one of his kids on a stand up. I was giving sage advise on the stand up to my wrestler who was not really listening and nodded to Coach Taylor. He smiled, grabbed my Valley Center kid, put him next to his TOHK kid and they worked on the stand up together for about 10 minutes. He was chewing on them hard to get it right with a big smile when they made progress.

This was mid-afternoon, my knees hurt and here was Coach Taylor on his (old than mine) knees coaching his kid and a Valley Center kid because he saw my kid was watching what he was saying went to work with him. It reminded me of one of my favorite childhood martial arts coaches...I had not thought of him in a while. THANKS.
