This is exactly what I was looking for! He covers both the philosophy and science of Kenpo. I was introduced to my first kick set, stances, blocks, and more information on the handsword than I've ever had before! Also was introduced to Delayed Sword, Deflecting Hammer, and Sword of Destruction. Next class is on thursday.

It was a lot of information, even for a two hour class, but it was a great class. I can't wait to delve more deeply into the art.

Always great to find a home. Congrats Josh.

Warmest Regards
Brian

Thank you! Just so you know, it MIGHT mean I don't join you tomorrow in Milton. I received a lot of information that needs to be unpacked and practiced. So tomorrow I might be a little wiped out, mentally and physically. Keep me on the mailing list though. You haven't heard the last of me.

Are you sure if he's any good?

Josh, is Mr. Rainey teaching at dojo and is there a set time for classes or are you doing private lessons. I'm interested in the times and where.

Thanks,

Clay

A tongue-in-cheek question :wink2:
So true...
As with Kenpo in general, there is as much in between the lines as on the lines. :)

You can't go wrong with Mr. Rainey. I have had a couple of opportunities to work with him. First class Kenpo all the way. I always look forward to the next opportunity to work with him, or his people.

Thank you,
Milt G.
