JB,
In addition to the reasons I have mentioned about no video footage; I was also requested not to allow it.

As far as my back round and lineage. It's very diverse and wide spread.

I started out in 1973 at a whopping three years old under then 4th dan Bill Harmon. Mr. Harmon had studied Okinawan and then under Jhoon Rhee. My next teacher was my step-father Will Keller, he studied quite a few arts while with Navy Special operations. After Mr. Keller (I moved in with my father), I studied Karate-Te under Jerry Nichols, this brings up to 1979. In 1979 we moved to WV and there was not much available in the way of MA training, so I continued practicing what I already knew and my Dad taught me some boxing. In 1982 I met Tim Smith and studied Tae Kwon Do actively with him until 1990, while I was in the military. I was awarded my first BB in 1988. While in the military, I studied under Pam Walters (TKD) for about a year. I then started studying Shorin-Ryu under Glenn Knott, while still travelling about once a month to continue to train with Tim. I continued active study with Tim and Glenn until 1992, when I went on a job that saw me travelling for 9 solid months. During that time, I studied with Nick Madrigil. Whne I left that job and came back to WV, I studied with Tim some more until I left for Florida. In Florida, I trained under Jim Lemmin(TKD) until he and I had some philosophical disagreements and I left. I then started training in Kenpo and Jiu-Jitsu under Tommy Badalato. I studied under Tommy for a year until I went to train under his instructor, Rich Alford. I studied under Rich this past year. At this point, not only was I back in WV but realized I had gotten as much from him as I was going to. At this point in time, I am Mr. Conatser's student. So my current lineage, is me, Mr. Conatser, Mr. Parker. My TKD lineage is quite confusing. MY Kenpo lineage before Mr C is what I call slightly muddled but now clear. All of the details are quite boring and span almost 30 years. Suffice it to say, I have 4 first degree black belts and a third degree. I am working diligently towards my fourth at this point in time.

Which Rich Alford? Where is he located? My old Instructor was Rich Alford in Clearwater, FL and we had a student there named Tommy. I just received an email from another martial arts forum member informing me that Rich Alford just died on August 8th, funeral services not set yet. I responded to find out which Rich Alford, as I did a search and found a few of them that were Kenpo Instructors.
