Hey Terry you are always welcome here! One of the best things about being in the Middle of Michigan is that we have small seminars were they are like semi private lessons! http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon14.gif

I love European sword and shield work, I'd love to find out how it compares to this.

Oh well, there is always next time.

Buzz Smith is a great guy and instructor. I highly recommend going to see him if you are interested in the topics covered! :)

[tellner]

Second that. Buzz is amazing. And unlike so many martial artists he's also a stand up guy and doesn't have a pretentious bone in his body.

I highly recommend smoke, stobe lights, some WWE wrestling entrance music and costume, and Rich and myself will carry you into the training area on our shoulders to start the seminar... and for the grand finale, Brian get's shoke slamed onto thumbtacks. Whatever happends in the middle is up to you... :D :rofl:

Gonna be a busy year- I am headed to San Francisco and Seattle to give seminars this summer. The last seminar I held with you Brian went quite well. This one should be just as good.

[Brian R. VanCise]

Hey Harold and everyone else,

We had a really good time exploring the shield work of Kuntaw and also applying the underlying principles to empty hand work. Attached are some pictures. Tomorrow it will be featured on my Blog The Instinctive Edge: http://brianvancise.wordpress.com/ If everything goes well I will have a video clip up on the Blog as well. Enjoy the pic's. http://www.martialtalk.com/forum/images/icons/icon6.gif

This was a really good seminar and Buzz as always really got into the true spirit of the Filipino Martial Arts.

It was a lot of fun throwing the guys all over the place. Shield defenses can be quite surprising.
