Mr. Billings,
It was great to get a chance to meet you as well. I really should have floated around a little more. I would have loved to "feel" some of your Kenpo. I also wanted to hang with Kirk more. The thing I respected about your attendance was 1) you were a 4th (the highest ranking in the house) willing to line up in a seminar with a person who is of a lower rank than you, and 2) when you stepped up and said, "I'll stand behind my belief that Kenpo is a complete art".
Just a note of clarification, I am not a AKKI student, but I am a friend of Terry McCord in Houston. It was probably easy to mix that up since I had no identifying patches on other than the Universal Pattern. I actually spent most of my time playing with Mary & Toby Rodriguez and will hopefully be doing some training with Mr. Duffy in the near future.
Regards, Jason Bugg:asian:
