A lot of mat time fighting, a great deal of interest in speed, but little emphasis on principles and concepts of "modern standard Kenpo". Fortunately I had GD7 and Doc to look after me..

Anything your referring to specifically...I know he has a video program, but the guy I trained under trained under him directly and was a 6th. I've seen his vids, I have some of his books. What specifically are you asking?

I was interested in training with the Doc. I have seen some of his videos and also read some of his published material. I was wondering first hand what it was like to train with the Doc in person. I have found his videos very enlightning and he seems like a pretty down to earth person.
I was going to see if i could plan some time in the future to fly out for a week to train with the Doc.

Ah, the same dude who wrote that Ed Parker's ' neutral bow ' stance was the biggest joke of a stance. Gotcha.

From some of his older material...I think it was the printed stuff that came along with his ' Speed Hitting ' tapes.

Yep,

Folks are always remembered for their shocking quotes. I think he said that in one of his vids as well if I remember correctly...He was into the "liquid bow"..I think that's what you AKKI guys call it...Or more of a JKD type stance with the rear foot turned to 90 degrees with the weight on the ball of the foot in a cocked position instead of 45 degrees and flat. Front foot is still at 45 degrees...That's what my old instructor taught.

No, we call that the ' modified neutral bow '. The ' Liquid Bows ' concept is more of an idea-in-application than an actual stance.
