Another successful year of hosting GM Bobby Taboada!! The Fall Classic was blessed with great weather, great people, great training, and amazing food! As always thank you to Grandmaster Bobby Taboada for his guidance and friendship. Thank you to everyone who attended the event and made it what it was. A big thank you to all the Taboada Balintawak FQIs and their crews from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Indianapolis, Chicago, Pennsylvania, and North Carolina for coming out and supporting.
Congrats to all the practitioners who tested this weekend:
AJ McGee (Fairfield, OH) - FQI
Michael Craig (Indianapoli, IN) - FQI
Samuel Jones (Fairfield, OH) - COA
Catherine Stafford (Indianapolis, IN) - COA
Amaury Valentin (Chicago, IL) - COA
Finally, thank you to my students, family, and friends who helped with logistics and food. I can't wait until next year's event!
From my heart, you're welcome, and with respect,
G**o Kelly Miller
