SCHOOLS & CAMPS A GREATER MEDIA NEWSPAPERS SPECIAL SECTION Teacher believes karate is m ore than martial arts

By Kevin Friedlander Correspondent

hen children sign up for karate lessons at the W East Coast Karate Center, in the Strath­ more Shopping Center, Aberdeen, John Ralph believes they are learning more than just martial arts. “They’re really learning life lessons that can help them to become mature adults,” said Ralph, who owns the karate" school and has been involved in martial arts for 28 years. “I make sure that they understand it is important to have good self­ esteem and that they have to be con­ fident in their abilities. That can apply to anything they do in life,” he explained. Ralph said students enroll in his school starting at age 5 and noted that there is open registration all year round. He said that there are 75 chil­ dren and adults enrolled in his school. If you are looking to become a black belt, the process usually takes 3 1/2 years, according to Ralph. “You can join my school at any­ time,” Ralph said. “We’ll put you into a beginner’s class and you’ll be able GETTING IT RIG H T — East Coast Karate Center master John Ralph teaches a young student karate moves.

BY WARREN RAPPLEYEA Staff Writer balanced scoring attack and solid play off the bench has propelled the Middletown High School ASouth girls basketball team to a 12-3 mark. The Eagles, who have locked up a spot in the New Jersey State Interscholastic Athletic Association Central Jersey Group IV tourney, are tied for second with Marlboro in the Shore Conference’s Class A North division. South’s three losses, however, came in conference play, twice to Marlboro and once to first-place Freehold Township. Coach Tom Brennan’s team is coming off of a 51-37 victory at Holmdel on Saturday. South held just a 21-17 lead at the half and upped it to 38-33 after three peri­ ods, before pulling away in the final eight minutes. Lori McDermott paced the attack with 16 points and 10 rebounds, while Heather Litzebauer added 13 points, including three, three-pointers. “The kids have done an excellent job of playing to their capabilities and not trying to do too much,” Brennan said. “That has really fostered a team attitude and everyone is working together.” McDermott, who has suffered sprains to both ankles, leads the Eagles in scoring DOWN, BUT NOT OUT — Matawan High School’s Brian Walsh is in control of Middletown South High School’s Justin Merlette early in their 140-pound bout on Saturday, but Merlette would take the match with a pin at 4:37.
