If...he's asked nicely...and no one wears any Patriots gear...

Anywhere to see YOU!

YAAAAY!

Thank you sir. It helps to bolster how difficult it is to learn the REAL arts from books and videos. I thoroughly enjoy sharing information with students like yourself. There is so much basic information that has not been taught to so many people. They seem to assume they actually "know" basics. Unfortunately, they don't. Thank you sir for being there and bringing Shane. I'll never forget how far he jumped and the look on his face when the nerve cavity was poked after taping his arm and re-assigning his muscle priorities. We'll do it again and get deeper next time sir. The old fat man loves to teach and the 5 hours we did wasn't near enough. What can I say, with people like you, the gracious Steve Hatfield, Dr. Bowers, etc. It was a blast. What a great bunch of people.

Essentially we learned how to step back into a neutral bow. then we worked on drag step forward, drag step back, step drag forward, step drag back, step through forward and back and then change direction 90 degree and then the cover step. We also did an intro to the hammering inward block and the vertical outward block and touched on an AOD drill. The drills touched on the PAM and the BAM.

It was fun and even intrigued my 15 year old son who I snuck in despite Doc's aversion to training youngsters. The great thing was we had a room full of mostly black belts with a fair amount of red showing and every one just set to work learning Kenpo basics. Everyone had fun and 4 hours was not nearly enough time.

If Doc can make learning to walk this much fun I can hardly imagine how interesting his regular classes are.

By the Way Doc, Brant tried the step back, PAM the front foot at wrestling yesterday and was able to just stand there when his opponent shot to take him down.

Thanks for your time Doc.

After I forst learned that step-back & PAM thing, I was able to hold a mosh pile from moving any further in a certain direction. They had to chnage directions, because they couldn't move me to get through me. Good stuff.

That can't be sir. Everyone knows it can't really be as simple as just "knowing the basics."

We'll do more next time and get deeper into SubLevel Three. That is a lot of fun.
