I'd be careful. The Masta(Godfather of California) will be the next one to "hook" up with us, then you'll have to come over!:ultracool

Quiero vivo en San Antonio. pero not in el barrio!

Many years ago, my first Kenpo training was done at a school on Southwest Military a couple blocks kind of South of South Zarzamora. Been a lot of years and I really, unfortunately, don't remember too much Tex Mex, and very little High School Spanish!

Siento lo? :rofl:

Take care Brutha ... o .... holmes!

How long ago was this? I know the area you speak of well. I
used to deliver pizzas out that way, until I got tired of getting
robbed.

If you're not a full time instructor, what kind of work do you do,
maybe I can hook you up!

If you ARE a full time instructor, there's plenty of room for a
kenpo school here ... the only 3 (EPAK) schools are all within
10 miles of each other! Just remember to give private lesson
discounts to fat orange belts from the barrio!

You don't remember too much Tex Mex? Well if I can get you
to remember Tex Mex FOOD, you'll be running back here!
The first enchilada plate is on me.

Hi Kirk,

Actually it has changed a lot down there. There used to be a Colona's Pizza and bunch of other cool stuff down in that area.

I used to know Gary Swann when he had dark hair! :rofl:

I'm just a part time instructor. Don't like commercial schools ... I'm just a bit too particular to do it all commercialized. I am a Tracy's stylist by background, but currently am, kind of , haphazardly, playing with Sublevel 4. I have been working at EPAK via tapes. Have gone through the IKCA training, at least well enough to perform it and recognize it! Me and GoldenDragon have been trying to figure out a way to hook up for two years now.

Currently I work for IBM, but out of work on the 28th of this month. Looking again! My wife is a Project Manager for Boeing Aircraft, and not in a hurry to get to San Antonio, as she has a number of good years left in her. However, we are planning on retiring down there. I may even break down at that point and go back to teaching commercially.

I believe that sometime this year, or next Spring at the latest, we are dropping in to San Antonio to see my old Kenpo instructor, and Shaolin Instructor. I think it would be fun to hook up, have some barrio chow, and drink some Lone Star from the pitcher with the bread on top! :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

If worst comes to worst, I'll treat at Dirty Dick's on the River Walk!

There I go gettin' hungry again.

A Dios,

Dan

Boy, you have been gone for awhile. Dirty Dick's is now Dick's
Last Resort ... has been for awhile now. Boeing is huge in S.A.
now, maybe the wife can transfer? I can hook you up with a job
with Bexar County quicker than you can say "pass the tortillas".
With your credentials, it'd be easy, although it might be a bit
slow for someone with your experience. We work on an OS390
box doing a lot of IT applications, and run quite a few systems
to support the criminal management and reporting. My instructor
would love to hire an assistant instructor! (I tried to get Rob to
come down, but he's too greedy j/k Rob) Although he's just a
few miles away from Mr Swann's school. Is that a Tracy school?
It just says "Chinese Kenpo" on the outside, and their brochure
says something to the effect of teaching kenpo with some hung
gar (sp?) kung fu mixed in.

I don't know if you remember South Park Mall, but it's right on
Zarzamora and 35 .. it's actually a pretty decent mall. But go
in either direction, and it's pretty bad these days.

If I haven't sold you (couldn't sell Rob either) on moving back,
then let me know when you'll be in town, it'd be seriously cool
to meet you. Maybe get one of those pics of us side by sight
in a right neutral bow So many have those, I want one
too!!!!! :cheers:

I do, but they even get pissed off if you refer them to a dictionary. They are lazy, and want everything given to them. I will never operate that way, EVER!:soapbox:

When I was a kid, I was always asking my Dad what a word meant or how to spell it. He ALWAYS referred me to the dictionary, even taught me how to use it. Then he would make me tell him whatever it was I learned and he would look at me, nod sagely and say, "Yeah, that's right". It took me 15 years to figure out that he didn't know either until i looked it up and told him! Now, he is always asking me how to spell something, I usually spellit phoenetically for him...he uses the dictionary frequently now.
