LOL!!!! I was thinking that the New England area was always
having the cool seminars!

 

[tarabos]

yup...it's funny when you think about it...but 70% i'd say for what determines your level of success in the martial arts is

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION....

i'd love to train some muay thai...but it's nowhere to be found around me...

oh well...cest la vie...you want it bad enough...you chase it down i guess

Pensylvannia?

Isn't Mike Cappi having Mr. Planas and Sean Kelley and several others up there this weekend or next?

Yes, he is. Here is part of the flier I got. Man, this is a good list. How many Journey people are here? 6?

Mike Cappi's
American Kenpo Karate Studio's
9th Annual Fall Fling
Kenpo Camp 2002
Oct. 25th - 26th & 27th
Instructors
Huk Planas - Lee Wedlake
Zach Whitson - John Sepulveda
Ed Parker, Jr. - Mike Cappi

With Special Guests...
Diane Tanaka ~ Larry Kongaika
And... Bob Liles

If there was any way I could be there, I would go.
Mr. Cappi does something like this once per year but it is very far away, and this one was on the heels of our camp last weekend. Maybe I'll put all the info up in the Events section.
:karate:

 

[tarabos]

you got me...i was aware of cappi's camp...but left it out so people would feel more sorry for me.

camps and seminars aside...it's tough in general with the amount of schools in my immediate area. Delaware has a fairly robust selection of different schools...but the work schedule and the time it takes to get there keep me from branching out a lot.

WKKA camps weren't too bad back in the day around 8 years ago...but now...hmm....

 

[GouRonin]

Ya know, I would go back to Cappi's camps (2 times a year)except that it's just too darn expensive to go. After exchange, the camp itself is worth while but then really what kills me is the hotel costs.

I mean, I drive 12 hours to get to Cappi's so it's half a day drive there and half a day back. Which means I like to leave a a day early which means that extra day blah blah blah... So I'm not upset about the drive itself but the cost of the hotel is more than the camp itself.

Luckily I have access to a few camps where I can crash at friend's places to attend. This is something I have been a big proponent of for years. In fact Kenpo Sweden and Lee Wedlake's school in Florida actually have an exchange program for their camps. They figured out that this not only is good relations but it also brings more people to the camp and involves them more. Jeff Blay's New York Camp has an exhange program with the Huk Planas Canadian Seminar as well.

Good ideas. Don't know why people don't jump on them.

Well you can crash at my place if ya make it down to this one

I don't know exactly what you mean by an exchange program, but I have already arranged to crash at a friends place for the Alamo Clinic. Our studio does not have a lot of room for anyone to actually sleep there, if that is what you meant.

If you are coming to Texas for this, let me know. I would like to meet you, but I also want to be forwarned about meeting you in person.

We will also have to tell Bob because this would be another example of MT members getting together in real life. :karate:

It would be cool if you or some of the other Canadian guys could make it down here. I want to go to Kenpocamp in Vegas next year, that may be as close to halfway between TX and Canada as it gets? I started a thread for that camp, I will post there if/when I confirm my attendance.

No, we used to do them all the time in hockey. You stay at someone's home. Then they come stay at your place during an event your school is having or that is near your place. Usually there is some screening or meeting first at events or on the net or whatever. Jeff Blay and I do this all the time. Saves on costs and also makes sure there is one more person for whatever seminar you are having. Imagine, 50 people at a seminar can theoretically double with this system. Not all 50 will come but it does increase the number of people who do.

I don't think that even Texas is ready for me.

This actaully happens quite a lot in this area with people on martial talk and is in fact how a lot of this got started with all of us getting together.

kwitcher bichin! The cows would just be somewhat .. anxious,
no need to not come at all. What 7 months isn't enough
warning? How much time do Canadians need to plan?

By the way, my offer to crash at my place only stands if Billy
doesn't come .... or Rob ... or Dutch :2xbird:

Hey I second that comment. With only a handful of practicing kenpo schools in the whole darn state, makes it hard to get the true kenpo instructors in.
