Greetings all,
I had a good time at our little event. I finally got a chance to meet the people behind the names. I enjoyed the various conversations with all who attended.
:drinky:

The surpise of the evening was that Princes Carol was the quiet one, Shocker.
:idunno:

With luck this will be an annual or bi-annual event.

It was fun last night. Really nice to meet each of you who attended. I told Jesse that we really didn't need keys to get into the dojo

Wow....what a GREAT time. It really was wonderful meeting everybody and to learn a bit more about their styles and what they are doing with their schools.

I had a chance to learn a lot more about Kosho, and even had a chance to meet one of Mr. Bock's students. I also learned more about Shaolin Kempo, about some of the things the good folks here are doing with their schools, and I learned about a lot more of everything from KenpoJoe.

Folks if any of you have a chance to meet Joe Rebelo...the man is absolutely astounding!

Mr. and Mrs. Cunningham were fantastic people to get to know as well.


On a side note.

Everyone that can...please keep your prayers and good thoughts going for KempoShaun and his rehab. We need him back on the mats and sharing his knowledge...and he sure as heck wants to be threre too. :)

Dunno about the rest of you but I would be all for making this a biannual event. :) :)

Thanks to everyone that helped make it happen! :asian:

Man, sucks to be me, missing out on this event. Hopefully I'll be in a position to make the next, or the next, or the next.

However, I must admit ... I'm glad you all had a wonderful time.

HI FOLKS!
I concur w/ Prof. Cunningham, It was a great event,a good time and nice people! It was good to see the nekick group [peggy,john,brian,Linda,...] was well as John,steve and samantha from the kosho group,Shadowchaser and his son,Carol and her friends,Prof.Seavy and his family,Matt Barnes & of course Jesse Dwire with his wife and Paul,& his other students! If i missed anyone else![just remembered Jeff Jones!]! It was a great time conversing on different people on everything from Kosho ryu,Shaolin kempo,Ed Parker's american kenpo,san chai na and more! Unfortunately, as I always say "I talk too much-I never shut up!"",But when you place me in that scenario, i'm in my element! BTW, I should announce that Matt Barnes won the unoffical "Hawaiian Shirt" contest with a hand made shirt by his wife [gotta love those hula girls and tikis!]. Speaking of shirts,Jesse's got a cool new school shirt and I was hoping to get one! The restaurant was an excellent choice and I enjoyed getting the "E-K-G special" pizza [pepperoni,linguica,bacon,hamburg & sausage] was tasty [and artery clogging]!
I really want to take a moment to thank Shaun Seifer for encouraging me to attend and providing transportation to the event. Shaun is going through some medical difficulties right now and having him even attend was a big deal for him right now. He is a good student, a good friend and I thank him for his help,assistance, and offering his assistance and his home during my short visit. I am indebted to you.
Thank you for your time and friendship!
BEGOOD,
KENPOJOE

Thanks for coming everyone, I really enjoyed meeting everyone, and seeing my old friends. I did take a couple pictures, and they are up as a little slide show at my site.

Looking forward to continuing the conversations that we began there, and to doing this again.

After reading Kenpo Joes post I thought I would mention for those that did not count all the names that there where between 20 and 25 people there when I was there. That’s a pretty good turnout for a first meet.

I think we should construct a thank you and send it to the restaurant they treated us with the utmost kindness and we where well taken care of by there staff. I talked with the manager before I left and he said we where welcome anytime and would be happy to have us back again.

Sounds like a great time. I was hoping to be there, but a few RL things came up and had to pass. I hope that this turns into a yearly event. :)
