Sir, I have just curiousity questions for you, and your past
regarding your studying with Mr Parker, and SL-4.

What I fear is a couple things. 1) turning this into yet another
political discussion full of political grievances 2) being out of line
in the eyes of anyone, including yourself 3) implying in any way
that my questions are just that- questions, and nothing to try
and stir things up to make attacks against you.

That being said, regarding such questions would you prefer that
I (and subsequently others in the same situation I am in) you
be asked via email, or on here?

Respectfully,

Kirk

I notice that Mr. Chape'l is featured in a lengthy article in the current issue of Black Belt Magazine. It's the Ed Parker article referred to on the cover here:

Watch it Homer, you're about to blow it again! Mr. Burns is watching you!

Just send him an email. Dr. Ron Chapél welcomes all honest questions.

 

[Kirk]

Yeah, I posted that at the end of August, and have since emailed
Dr Chapel, and received his reply. Thanks :asian:

Hey Kirk, I just notice you are from San Antonio...so am I?

Who is your instructor and what's your rank? It's great to meet other like minded individuals locally.

I study with Mr. Abernathy. I'm an orange belt.
How about yourself?

I studied with Mr. Castro and reached green belt level a couple of years ago. Due to financial reasons I have been unable to continue my studies, tho... I remember when I got my orange belt...some cool techniques in that level!

Are you planning to return?

Sure am! There are some family issues that need to be taken care of before I resume my training. I do miss it so much, in fact, that I'm willing to travel the 30-odd miles to go back to my old school.

Wow, 30 odd miles! Where do you live? I'm about a mile down
the road from Castro's school.

I live by 1604 and Judson Rd...just shy of 30 miles if I take 1604 to Castro's. I used to live less than a mile when I was attending Castro's studio before I got married.

I'm surprised you're not at Castro's, what with him being just down the road from you. Isn't Abernathy's off of Babcock Rd by Eckhert Rd?

 

[Kirk]

Yeah, it sure is. Only about a 10 min. drive.

Hey does Mr. Castro have a website or anything? Isn't he with Mr. Speakman/the AKKS?

I want him to have Mr. Speakman down for a seminar. I have not seen Mr. Speakman since 97 or so.

I will try to get to Kenpocamp in 03.

Not that I've ever been able to find. Last I talked to him, well
over a year ago, he said he was working on one.

You are correct, sir!

He's had him in before. Now this is NOT fact, just rumor that I've
heard ... is that seminars are for his school only, they're not open
to other schools anymore. Why, I don't know

I know Mr Castro has been before. My instructor has pictures.
