So I just got back from KenpoJoe's Birthday Party, it was huge and he got some amazing gifts with some amazing people there. So, to my friend of 20 years, my instructor of 16 years I say, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Rebelo Sensei!!! Love you bro, and here's to 50 more! To those who missed the huge bash at...
Well, for those who asked me to keep you updated, and for anyone else interested, my first fusion was unsuccessful, I'm going under the knife again on Dec. 17th. I'll have 2 orthopedic surgeons and a neurosurgeon, they'll be using bone from my own hip as a graft and a bovine protein that over...
I have a few students who are handicapped or can't move in the same way everyone else does, or other students that the bunkai just won't work unless we move things around a bit. So, if you looked at all my students, about 90% do things the same, but about 10% of them have their kata modified for...
I guess all I can add is that, while there are plenty of Kem/npo schools in Worcester, where I live, I'll still travel around 2 hours to train with Rebelo Sensei, up to twice a week, and I can't wait until I have surgery on the 17th, and heal up so I can get back to doing so! :D If the...
Thank you Sensei, it was great, and a PLEASURe as always to see you and Sifu blackwell and have you as guests in my home once again. Hope you're able to use some of the uniforms I gave you!!! Thanks again, and I WILL be back training with you ASAP!!!

If it's in Mass, count me in!!! If it's after the 12th, I'll be out with my fiance and soon to be stepkids from June 30th - July 12th. I just had a spinal fusion, so I might not be in top form, but I'll be there!!!
After nearly 2 years of extreme pain and disability, I finally gave in and had spinal fusion, the operation lasted nearly 14 hours and has left me immobile (for the time being) and slight paralysis in my right leg, I also have no feeling in parts of my right leg and the back of my head, but that...
I've missed training with Professor, and I'd love to see he and Keiko-san again! As soon as I'm healed from my recent spinal fusion, I'll be sure to try and get a few lessons before I move to Pennsylvania!!!
I just saw them both in the "other" movie they just made together, "Death Warriors", he was in it for all of 5 minutes (St-Pierre), and yes, it was MST3K material. When you advertise Rashad Evans, Keith Jardine, George St-Pierre and Rampage Jackson, you expect to see them for more than 2 minutes...
