Highlighting their program has been guest appearances by fifth de- gree black belt, Mike Bernardo. The Bernardo Karate Academy in Crediton is nun by instructor Ron Bowers and students of the acade- my were recently graded by both Bowers and Bemardo. "The need for self defence per- haps isn't as great as a big city but it's definitely there," said Bernardo. While29 white belts were graded on this particular night, Bowers and Bernardo also leafed through doz- ens of manuals which not only keeps a record of their karate re- sults but monitors how the younger onasidain school as well. "We try and tie it: vt with their school work. So instead of teaching just punching and kicking we stress how they are performing outside of this [karate) school," said Bernar- do. His particular discipline of karate is Shor-in-yu and among his more promising students are Colin and Jo -Dee Grasdahl of Crediton. The siblings had a chance to as- sist Bowers and Bernardo during the grading procedure and Jo -Dee even sparred against her mother Pat. When he is grading the younger students, Bernardo looks for the ba- sics. "At that young age, I'm looking for their stance. If it's good and sound, that's a good thing to build on." Bernardo has usedhis martial arts -talents to land amtovie contract in which he has already done the first of a series of five movies. The next registration day for the Bernardo Karate Academy in Cre- diton is April 27.
