John Sepulveda Seminar in Austin

Another Kenpo great, John Sepulveda, will be doing a seminar at Austin Kenpo Karate this coming weekend. Enrollment limited and separate classes will be held for Beginning, Intemediate, and Advanced ranks.

Here is the link to my webpage to see the details and who to contact. Tommy Burks is coming in from Dallas/Ft. Worth and it should be fun.

Prof. Sepulveda Seminar (http://kenpo-texas.com/kenpoevents.htm#Sepulveda%20Seminar)

Contact information to Austin Kenpo Karate and Jeff Schroeder, the host, can be linked from there.

[Michael Billings]

... and thanks to Mr. Schroeder for having him in. Our 1-1/2 hour Advanced Class lasted over 3 hours ... of non-stop work. Extension after extension after extension. This was a true "laying on of the hands" and I have the bruises to proved it.

Oss!!

Hi Kirk,

I think Mr. Billing might kick me out from his class if I post those pictures here without his permision. :D I laugh every time when I saw them.
I just sent three of those pictures to Mr. Billings. If you really want to see it, ask him. ;)

Kirk, you really should be there, the seminar was great.

but I guess I will move myself over here since you guys are off and rolling.

Or until I get my "Forum Police" Badge.

[Chupi]

I had a really great time and meeting someone like Mr. Sepulveda was incredible. I look forward to being able to go more seminars like this.

[cdhall]

:erg:
KenpoTess and Chupi must have photographers on staff.
What's with all the models in Kenpo?

Oh wait, Chupi is a model. :uhyeah:

:-offtopic

Nice to meet you, Chupi. I was in the advanced seminar, I may not have even seen you on Sat. It was outstanding. I hope to put up some notes next week. It will take me that long to collect/reconstruct them.

[kenpoevolution]

Will there be another seminar by Mr. Sepulveda in Austin in 2004? That would be cool. I really enjoyed his last two seminars.

[Michael Billings]

Chupi & KenpoEvolution.

I am glad you both enjoyed the seminar. I will convey this to Mr. Sepulveda when I see him in Idaho in a week and a half. I am certain that he will be back. Probably up in your area also Chupi. He is sure to visit Tommy Burks for horse stuff and maybe we can talk him into a seminar up there.

One of my instructors at the Sepulveda seminar.

Oh, Kirk, I didn't know you would post it here. I hope Craig is okay with it.

[Michael Billings]

Glad I was not the only one sweating.

[Chupi]

Doug & Mr. Billings,

Doug thank you for the compliment that is very nice of you to say. I was there all day actually and at dinner.

Mr. Billings thanks for relaying that to Mr. Sepulveda, that would be great if has a seminar up in this area. I am sure he would have a huge turn out.

Also I dunno I do not think Steve is looking bad in that picture, just have to wonder what he is sticking his tongue out at?

[Michael Billings]

Gotta go train & teach ... yall have a good one!

OK, I saw you at dinner. You were sitting at the corner between Cheri and Steve I think. Mr. Sepulveda moved down next to you at the end.

I don't think we were introduced, but maybe I'll see you again. I will try to go if Mr. Sepulveda comes to Dallas. But not this year. I am booked! I have been to 4 seminars already and have 3 more on my plate before camp in October, but that is another thread.

I may get my notes done on Sunday perhaps, but I'll try to put them up. If anyone else took some, feel free to send them to me and I'll compile them. I'm going to need help anyway as I was really so busy keeping up and doing the techniques that I don't remember what all else was going on and I didn't write anything down after class either.

I did ask Mr. Sepulveda if he had a "theme" or something but I didn't get a good answer at dinner, conversations kept bouncing around. So the moral of this story is I will be "compiling" notes because I'm going to send mine around to a few people first before I put them online.

Feel free to send me some in advance. Thanks everyone. That was a truly great event.

[Michael Billings]

Doug,

He, Tommy and I talked about what he was doing at seminars last year, and the idea of basics and sophisticated basics. He was hitting lots of his schools hard with sophisticated basics through working techniques. Now it is time to kick it up a notch and explore additional Principles, Concepts, and Theories through more advanced techniques using additional priciples. That is why we were hitting all Black Belt extensions. So if there was a theme, this was it.

Oss!

[Michael Billings]

Doug, I PM'ed you these, plus some, but for everyone who attended but cannot remember, in no particular order, except as I remember:

1. Gripping Talon
2. Squatting Sacrifice (he skipped Dance of Death here, taught it in earlier classes and just referenced it for us as the same ankle attack and throw, but from another position. (also the what-if when Crashing Wings and Spiraling Twig don't work.
3. Grip of Death (& related to Glancing Spear
4. Escape for Death | - Related to Grip
5. Five Swords referenced
6. Raining Claw referenced & extension
7. Destructive Twins related to Snaking Talon (add stomp to lead leg in Snaking)
8. Detour from Doom
9. Brushing the Storm
10. Kneel of Compulsion
11. Circling Destruction
12. Circles of Protection (Great one!!)
13. Capturing the Storm
14. Heavenly Ascent
15. Glancing Wing

[cdhall]

I got it.
My notes will not likely add much except some thoughts regarding what I "got" from all this.
