I initially made this post without any printed reference in front of me, and inadvertently mis-spelled Mr. Hibben's last name. I apologize if this was disconcerting for anyone. No insult or slight was intended, after all, I have four of his knives.

The 2003 Fall Kenpo Clinic featuring Professor Bob White is approaching quickly, next weekend- Friday, November 21st through Saturday, November 22nd- and it looks as though we will be having a great turnout!

To make it an even better weekend, I just wanted to send out a quick reminder to anyone who might still be interested in attending.

For more information on the 2003 Fall Kenpo Clinic, please feel free to check out our camp flyer at the following link-

http://www.unitedparkerskenpo.com/Whiteseminar.html

I merged the "2003 Fall Kenpo Clinic featuring Professor Bob White" under this Sticky as per EPAK Forum guidelines. I am leaving it in Kenpo General as that Forum is a little more lax about events being double posted.

Fellow Kenpoists,

I would like to wish all of you the very best this holiday season!

To continue with our excellant schedule of Kenpo instructors this 2003/ 2004 year, I would like to invite all of you to the 2004 New Year's Bash Featuring Master of the Arts, Mr. Richard "Huk" Planas!

The 2004 New Year's Bash will be held Friday, January 9th through Saturday, January 10th, 2004 at the University of Pittsburgh.

Mr. Richard "Huk" Planas is a 9th Degree Black Belt in the Ed Parker's Kenpo System. Known as the "Instructor's Instructor", Mr. Planas teaches the "why's" of Kenpo, not just the "how's" based on the rules and principles of motion. Though his expertise is mainly in Kenpo, he has studied many other arts including Judo, Tai Chi, Kung Fu, Shotokan, Silat and the Filipino arts.

Join the UPK in welcoming Mr. Planas to the University of Pittsburgh for the first time. This is one event you do not want to miss. See you on the mat!

For more information, please contact Joshua Ryer at-
412-759-9710 Or e-mail at- True2Kenpo@aol.com

Professor Tommy Burks (my very own teacher) is coming to Austin for a seminar on January 10, 2004. It is a rare opportunity to train with a truely great Kenpoist who was one of Mr. Parker's personal students. He is a wizard with the double clubs and knows how to get the most out of what you bring to the table as a Martial Artist of any style.

The seminar will be at my school and I will post more information regarding times and costs if anyone is interested. Hope to see you Texas Kenpo guys there!

Respectfully,
-Michael Billings

See Mr. Ryer's post, two above. Mr. Planas will be in Pittsburg next weekend!

Greetings Fellow Martial Artists!

I hope this e-mail finds you, your family, and your students safe and doing well.

I would just like to send out a brief invitation to everyone for our 2004 Winter Workshop featuring Professor Zach Whitson on Friday, Feb. 6th and Saturday, Feb. 7th at the University of Pittsburgh.

The event will begin on Friday evening from 6pm to 9pm with a Meet and Greet session and then a Mini-Seminar covering some basic concepts and principles of Pekiti-Tirsia, a sophisticated kali and knife system.

Then on Saturday from 1pm to 6pm, Professor Whitson will build on his innovative Counterpoint teachings. Counterpoint emphasizes the "what if" phase of your self-defense techniques and how to graft from one technique to the next.

Don't miss out on this excellent opportunity to welcome Mr. Whitson back to Pittsburgh and learn more in the never-ending Kenpo system!

For further information on the 2004 Winter Workshop, please check out the UPK Website at- www.unitedparkerskenpo.com Or e-mail the UPK at- True2Kenpo@aol.com.

This letter was posted on the Kenponet by Vishal Shukla. I hope that some of the people on Martial Talk will be able to attend.


The response to the Bob White seminar has been fantastic. Thanks to all of you have already reserved your spots. The seminars are filling up fast and I encourage those of you who have not yet confirmed to do so as soon as possible. Remember that if you want to reserve a spot, you need to send a check or call with your credit card number as soon as possible. The contact information is at the bottom of this post. If you have any questions, please email me or call the studio.

In addition, I am happy to announce another instructor has agreed to share his knowledge and experience. Mr. Rob Fenton will be assisting Mr. Newton in the final seminar.

Mr. Fenton is a 4th degree black belt and 20+ year veteran of BWKS. He has significant boxing experience; his family owned a boxing gym, as well as years of amateur wrestling. Mr. Fenton has won many karate tournaments and is a multiple time champion at the International Karate Championships. Rob is currently training hard for his Mixed Martial Arts debut fight.

Perhaps the greatest test of Rob’s toughness is that he has survived a lethal attack. Several years ago Rob found himself attacked by three paroled felons. Mr. Fenton’s brother had been knocked out so Rob was fighting to save the life of his brother as well as himself. Rob survived a shattered wrist (blocking a tire iron that was aimed at his head) and had his throat slashed from jaw to jaw by a knife. Not only did Rob survive he put all 3 of the attackers in the hospital.

As he prepares for his MMA debut, several Martial Arts magazines are interested in writing articles about his survival of that attack. We talk a lot about realism and how we would react in a life and death situation. Rob has been there, done that, and lived to talk about it.

Once again, here is the information about the seminar:

Looks to be another great get together!

Saw Prof Sepulveda this weekend up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and he is looking forward to it. He was awesome as always, and I bet he "raises the bar" with Sigung and he together. (Uh-oh, and I thought I knew what "pain" meant). :)

Don't know if it's been posted already...Long Beak Internationals are coming up. Last weekend in July/1st weekend in August. Mr. Trejo has also set up a Friday afternoon of seminars by some pretty awesome kenpoistas.

Hope to see all y'all there.

Dr. Dave

Here is the report on the Ed Parker Jr. seminar in Utah on June 18, 2004.


It was a really good seminar. A very good sized group of people showed up. I'll summarize some of the points he taught.

Ed Parker Jr., emphasized the importance of thinking "outside the box". He reminded us that Kenpo is free-flowing and elastic, it isn't "fixed" and should be effective--what works for each of us. It is fun hearing all the anecdotes and stories about his father throughout the seminar. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Ed Parker Sr. before he died. Nevertheless, it was cool to see how his son thought of his father.

For the training part of the seminar, in the beginning, he pointed out how many people tend to be tense when doing techniques or fighting. He demonstrated how, if we are "loose" or relaxed, our motions would be faster and more powerful. It was interesting to see the difference. Next, he demonstrated pressure points and how it doesn't take much to take down an opponent (when pressure points are used both stand-alone and in conjunction with techniques). we practiced applying pressure points. He then used the three-footed stool as an analogy for balance, and we practiced taking each other off balance, both against the wall and standing. He moved on to ground-fighting, reminding people that in fights, there will be times we end up on the ground. Again, we continued with the three-footed stool analogy by getting our attackers off balance while we were already on the ground. We then did some "sticky fingers" exercise, his point being that we should be relaxed and loose. To be tensed up uses up more energy. Relax and we get more mileage out of our motions--being able to endure. We wrapped it up with techniques or our own freestyle ones, applying all that we had learned today as a review. He concluded the seminar with the question, "WHO are you?" We are defined by what we believe, our principles and our honor.

It's terrific!

Bob White’s Karate Studio is happy to announce the next seminar in our Championship Kenpo series.



On Saturday October 9, 2004 Sigung Steve LaBounty will be holding a workshop from 1:30 PM PST – 3:30 PST. This seminar is open to everybody regardless of rank or affiliation. The investment for this workshop is only $35.



Mr. LaBounty is one of the most senior, accomplished and respected Kenpoists in the world. Following is a brief biography, taken from his website



“Arguably one of the most widely known Kenpoists, there are many in American Kenpo who say that Steve LaBounty is the true definition of the "Warrior Spirit." Having initially come to Ed Parker in 1966 with a background in Judo and having a Black Belt under Al & Jim Tracy (only their third), Steve went on to distinguish himself in the Martial Arts, carrying Mr. Parker's banner wherever he went.



Both a National and International fighting champion, he is widely sought after on the seminar circuit where he is legendary for his "fighting drills". Mr. LaBounty has spent many years in police work and is active as a Law Enforcement Consultant and trainer. Having reached a level of excellence in the "Yang" side of the martial arts, he spent years pursuing an education related to the opposing "Yin" side, and today, as a practicing Acupressurist and Herbalist, teaches seminars in bodywork to martial artists.

Reading Mr. Van Deusen's bio...he is a 5th Black in American Kenpo. Is that Ed Parker's American Kenpo or an offshoot system?

Mr. Pick will be drawing on his over 40 years of Kenpo training and innovation to teach the Eight Stages of Engagement, the tactical area of response, 12 points and Fortified Engagement pertaining to single and multiple attacks.
As a result of the many requests he has received concerning his knowledge of the knife, Mr. Pick will also teach a separate two-hour class (for brown and black belt students only) covering the UKF’s principles of armed conflict and the UKF knife principles and application. The PTK (Pick Tactical Knife) and the principles of its design and application resulted in Tactical Knives Magazine stating “...the PTK’s success with forward-deployed operators has made it one of the most demanded knives in the Spec Ops community.”
