Once a month, in a special training session entitled the Ohio Instructors college (OIC), Mr. Joe Doyle teaches Parker-Planas Kenpo at his facility in Mentor, Ohio to any willing Kenpoist regardless of affiliation. The facility is located near Cleveland, Ohio. His website is: http://www.akakenpo.com (http://www.akakenpo.com/)
In these training sessions Mr. Doyle looks over the talents of the participants as they perform their Kenpo techniques and offers advise and training designed to bring individual Kenpoist up to the standards Grand Master Planas sets for American Kenpo. Grand Master Planas has a website which is: http://www.parkerplanaslineage.com (http://www.parkerplanaslineage.com/) if you want more information on him.
Mr. Planas is scheduled into Mr. Doyle's Academy this December 13th for a 4+ hour presentation covering Blue Belt material and Forms. Please contact Mr. Doyle and make arrangements to attend. Cost is currently $120. Space availability is limited.
Mr. Doyle (a 6th degree last promoted by GM Planas) has been having GM Planas in to his Academy 4 times a year for seminars over 10+ years. Mr. Doyle does not consider himself to be equal to GM Planas. GM Planas is the undisputed leader of American Kenpo in Mr. Doyle's opinion. (Mr. Doyle will tell that to anyone that asks the question.) However having trained under Mr. Planas all these many years, (and having been with SGM Parker on many occations) Mr. Doyle has a pretty good idea of what it is Mr. Planas wants taught to American Kenpo students. Mr. Doyle is often heard to say that all he is doing is "roughing-in" the student, that it is GM Planas that does all the "finish" work.
The current cost for these 2+ hours of semi-private lessons with Mr. Doyle is $50.00 per OIC participant. (The OIC membership is free also) The OIC stands for Ohio Instructors College and it is Mr. Doyle's way of indicating that the training is done in Ohio, that the training is designed for Instructors with the material taught being equal to that of a college level educational course. O = Ohio, I= Instructors, C =College. The more of us who come to these monthly training sessions the more fun the whole thing is...
Many of the participants in the OIC are already school owners or intend to become school owners soon. They have stated that the classes are giving them the time they need to review their own material and to get better at their art. Running schools takes so much time out of their day that they seldom have time to practice their Kenpo the way they once did before starting their businesses. It has been often said by participants; "...that being with such a high quality Instructor such as Mr. Doyle allows them to stop thinking about how the material should be presented to their students and start thinking about performing the material as it was intended to be performed.".
Its a little "me" time for the more advanced Kenpoist.
Having GM Planas into his school 4 times a year gives his seminar participants the training that all the other Kenpoist who trained under Senior Grand Master Parker once received. Mr Doyle's Academy is the only school anywhere in the world where Grand Master Planas teaches the entire American Kenpo system as it was intended to be taught, from white belt all the way through Brown. Grand Master Planas wants it to be known that the art that we practice at Mr. Doyle's Academy is properly called Parker-Planas Kenpo. Parker as that is who's system we are learning and Planas as that is the Instructor who is teaching it. Since all this material is covered by GM Planas year after year and since it is well known that Mr. Planas is one of the three main people who actually wrote the original training manuals for American Kenpo, Mr. Doyle's Academy is the only school where there is no question as to the authenticity of the training the student is receiving.
The idea of the OIC is to further the students knowledge by providing 8 sessions throughout the year with Mr. Doyle as the Head Instructor and 4 sessions throughout the year with GM Planas as the Master Instructor. So for 12 times a year, all people who want authentic Kenpo instruction as it was once done back in the 70s and 80s (before SGM Parker passed away) can come to Doyle's and be introduced to the information as it was meant to be shown.
For myself, I have been attending Mr. Planas and Mr. Doyle's seminars for over a year now. (I have been with GM Planas on many occations before coming to Doyle's) I have been and am completely satisfied with the services I have received to date. One day, I wish to travel and promote American Kenpo by providing my own seminars around the country and maybe the world. I, being a conscientious person, want to give seminars that are accurate depictions of what American Kenpo can do. Therefore I am very cautious of where I get my information from. The school I originally came out of was a very good school at the time, but I always felt there was something missing from my training. At Mr. Doyle's I have been able find and to put back into my training the information I missed getting from my former Instructor. I couldn't be happier. (One person that you all know here at Kenpotalk is Jfarnsworth. if you want to, you can ask him about what it is we do.)
I have a website also and it is called : www.KenpoCoach.com (http://www.kenpocoach.com/)
So, if you too want to be the best Kenpoist you can be. Why not join us in the OIC. Currently it would cost you about $880.00 annually to sharpen your already established skills or to become an authentic Kenpoist working through us. Most schools today would charge you a minumum of $1200.00 a year to learn from them and the only Instructor you would have is the school owner. Going to seminars for someone like GM Planas would cost you more on top of that. Doing it our way not only gives you the information you need but you are going to be taught by two of the top Instructors in the country, perhaps even in the world. No-one that I know of, would dispute that Grand Master Planas is the true head of American Kenpo since SGM Parker's passing. Few would argue that Mr. Doyle wasn't good enough to be a Head Instructor (fewer still would say it to his face...) Everyone that knows Mr. Doyle has nothing but the highest respect for him. Perhaps, if you know GM Planas you might ask him about Mr. Doyle some time...
Why not be with the best? Come join us monthly in Mentor, Ohio and let us enjoy your company as well. We would sure like to meet you.
To be clear, We don't want you to give up your home town Instructor, nor do we want you to give up any affilations you might already participate in. What we want is to enable you to be the best you can be. You can not be sure that you are getting the authentic American Kenpo that perhaps you were promised, without coming to Joe Doyle's Kenpo Academy and participating in the OIC programming.
Give Mr. Doyle a call at 440-255-6697. Why not do it today. The call could just change your life. Maybe even save your life if you take the training and ever find yourself in the situation that you haft to use what you know for real.
Thank you sincerely for taking the time to read this and considering its message to you.
