Looking forward to hitting the Hilliard training center in a few weeks. The seminar looks pretty good and is bringing in some of my students from around the area.
Rich Troutman is a long time NSI player who has been focusing on the knife for over 10 years in the NSI system, he has also trained with Hock, and Vunak prior to joining NSI.
Dr. Jeff Cooper is a 30 year practitioner of Traditional Goju Ryu, Aikido and other arts who joined NSI about 8 years ago. He was transferred to a ER Facility in Ohio a couple years ago and I haven't had the opportunity to train with him, he does make it to the hilliard center from time to time so that has been a good exchange of information for Dan and his group.
A few of Mike Janich's students will also be attending!
Also rolling in is one of the former 1 st. Special Forces Group team members. Ed worked for a long time with Thopher Ricketts in the Bakbakan arts, he is now a Air Marshal trainer.
Dr. Sullivan is hitting the scene, a great accupunturist, Chinese Medicine practitioner who teaches NSI in Springfield IL. Jim is also former Blackhawk Pilot from Dessert Storm with some pretty hairy stories. Greg Kelly is a 20 year NSI player rolling in from L.A.
Dan McConnell is working the local scene so hopefully we should have a solid group of practitioners to share the art.
Apparently Rich Parsons is also attending, Andrew Evans mentioned his attendance in Kansas at the recent Remy Presas Jr. MARPPIO seminar, Rich is making the rounds which is a good thing. Rich always provides some good insight in the forum discussions it will be good to finally met him.
O.K., Kelvis may show up as well so if ya have any requests,,, just let 'em roll...
