Hi Everyone,

On October 1st, Instinctive Response Training LLC
will be hosting a Modern Arnis Seminar featuring
Master Instructor Rich Parsons! Rich as everyone
here knows is a long time Modern Arnis Practitioner,
who has travelled around the United States training
with almost all of the seniors of Modern Arnis.
This Seminar will focus on Knife Defense and Stick
and Dagger training!

This will be Rich's second seminar with us and his
first one was great! If you are interested in
attending please give me an email at:
brian@instinctiveresponsetraining.com !

The Seminar is being held on the Alma College
Campus here in Alma, Michigan! The Seminar will
be taught in the Stone Recreation Center, multi
purpose room from 12 to 4 pm! Cost for the
Seminar is $50! If you are interested in some
great training please come and join us!

Master Parsons rocks! He has extensive street experience and an engineer's mind for how and why things work. He's also a great teacher. If you're anywhere near this, go for it!
 
Due to the unforseen circumstances regarding
the Hurricane Katrina, the Seminar with Master
Rich Parsons will be a benefit seminar with all
proceeds going to help in the recovery.
We can get matching funds from GM for every dollar
that we raise. The proceeds will then be donated
to the Red Cross!

The seminar fee is $50 if you wish to donate more
you are welcome to! Terrible tragedies require
a temendous amount of money. Thank you in
advance for your help!

I'll be there! Can't wait....Brian is a great host and Rich is a great instructor, so it is bound to be a great time. And for charity...none the less!

Thank you all for the comments so far.

Yes, I work for a nice company that sets up for major events like this, matching from the employees. I consider it one of the benefits of having a nice job.

I am looking forward to seeing the Alma group again as well as some of the Grand Traverse Silit group I met in Ohio. And of course all those, that will be the first time we meet.

I wish we could do more, and or sooner.

Rich, we are planning to come down for this and will probably bring a couple guys.

BTW We actually do Kuntaw, there are elements of Silat in it but we are not true Silat players.

I will have some of those stick bags available and with me at that time if you are still interested. I've also been building some big trainers (bolo sized) in differant patterns so I'll bring some of them for you to look at too.

Bill,

Sorry for the Silat Kuntaw issue. Now I know. :)

Yes, I would like a bag, I will be ready to purchase one. Just contact Brian and make sure it is all cool with him to sell at the seminar. :)

Thank you for supporting this event and bringing a couple of your guys down.

Rich,
No problem on the silat/kuntao/kuntaw thing, I just know people sometimes read stuff on the net and get all upset about definitions.
I also like to give proper respect to Buzz, he calls it Kuntaw so that's what it is. I'm sure you understand.

I'll bring some stuff down with me when we come since Brian's OK with that.

Thanks

Hey Everybody,

We are one week away from having a great seminar with
Master Rich Parsons! Best of all, the proceeds will be
going to benefit the victims of Hurricane Katrina through
the American Red Cross. If you are interested in attending
please email me at brian@instinctiveresponsetraining.com !
Knowing Rich, this should be a great seminar. So if you are
interested in serious Modern Arnis action stop by and train
with us on October 1st at noon!

Brian R. VanCise
 
Tomorrow is the event.

I hope to meet some new people and to share what I can with those who show up.

Thank you for the opportunity Brian. :asain:

can make it come check us out!

Yes, Rich is a great guy, very knowledgeable in Modern Arnis! Brian is in a cool guy as well, although it's been years since I've seen him! Should have lots of good info. Sorry I can't make it, but I've got tickets to the game

Well we just finished up and I must say that Rich Parsons
once again out did himself! This was a really good seminar
and Rich taught it in a very straight forward easy to
understand manner. We covered 6 count, 8 count,
10 count with some Crossada and Palis Palis thrown in!
Everyone really seemed to enjoy themselves and I know
that we all felt good by raising some money for the
victims of Hurricane Katrina and Rita! If you get a
chance to have a Parsons seminar I would definatley
urge you to do so! Great job Rich!

Brian R. VanCise
 
Just wanted to give a quick thanks to Brian VanCise for being an awesome seminar host as usual, and congrats to Rich for doing a wonderful job teaching. It was good to meet some more Michigan Bujinkan people and some of the Traverse City Kuntaw folks. It was my pleasure for those who I had a chance to work with!

Yours,

Paul
 
By the way, if anyone is interested in some
great aluminum trainers or a unique stick bag
contact our own MartialTalk member Bill
Bednarick! I purchased six aluminum
trainers from him and they are awesome!
All of the trainers are made directly from
an exact copy of an actual blade and they
are very, very well made at some
exceptional prices!
