Saw Prof Sepulveda this weekend up in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area, and he is looking forward to it. He was awesome as always, and I bet he "raises the bar" with Sigung and he together. (Uh-oh, and I thought I knew what "pain" meant).

Here is the report on the Ed Parker Jr. seminar in Utah on June 18, 2004.
It was a really good seminar. A very good sized group of people showed up. I'll summarize some of the points he taught.
Ed Parker Jr., emphasized the importance of thinking "outside the box". He reminded us that Kenpo is free-flowing and elastic, it isn't "fixed" and should be effective--what works for each of us. It is fun hearing all the anecdotes and stories about his father throughout the seminar. I wish that I had the opportunity to meet Mr. Ed Parker Sr. before he died. Nevertheless, it was cool to see how his son thought of his father.
For the training part of the seminar, in the beginning, he pointed out how many people tend to be tense when doing techniques or fighting. He demonstrated how, if we are "loose" or relaxed, our motions would be faster and more powerful. It was interesting to see the difference. Next, he demonstrated pressure points and how it doesn't take much to take down an opponent (when pressure points are used both stand-alone and in conjunction with techniques). we practiced applying pressure points. He then used the three-footed stool as an analogy for balance, and we practiced taking each other off balance, both against the wall and standing. He moved on to ground-fighting, reminding people that in fights, there will be times we end up on the ground. Again, we continued with the three-footed stool analogy by getting our attackers off balance while we were already on the ground. We then did some "sticky fingers" exercise, his point being that we should be relaxed and loose. To be tensed up uses up more energy. Relax and we get more mileage out of our motions--being able to endure. We wrapped it up with techniques or our own freestyle ones, applying all that we had learned today as a review. He concluded the seminar with the question, "WHO are you?" We are defined by what we believe, our principles and our honor.
It's terrific!

Bob Whites Karate Studio is happy to announce the next seminar in our Championship Kenpo series.
On Saturday October 9, 2004 Sigung Steve LaBounty will be holding a workshop from 1:30 PM PST 3:30 PST. This seminar is open to everybody regardless of rank or affiliation. The investment for this workshop is only $35.
Mr. LaBounty is one of the most senior, accomplished and respected Kenpoists in the world. Following is a brief biography, taken from his website
Arguably one of the most widely known Kenpoists, there are many in American Kenpo who say that Steve LaBounty is the true definition of the "Warrior Spirit." Having initially come to Ed Parker in 1966 with a background in Judo and having a Black Belt under Al & Jim Tracy (only their third), Steve went on to distinguish himself in the Martial Arts, carrying Mr. Parker's banner wherever he went.
Both a National and International fighting champion, he is widely sought after on the seminar circuit where he is legendary for his "fighting drills". Mr. LaBounty has spent many years in police work and is active as a Law Enforcement Consultant and trainer. Having reached a level of excellence in the "Yang" side of the martial arts, he spent years pursuing an education related to the opposing "Yin" side, and today, as a practicing Acupressurist and Herbalist, teaches seminars in bodywork to martial artists.
Please call the studio as soon as possible to reserve your spot. The contact information is
