I wanted to post a quick review of the Portland Seminar, and thank everyone who helped make it happen.
Thank you Datu Hartman and Senior Master Anderson for sharing your knowledge with all of us.
We had a good group of people turn out. Everyone was enthusiastic, I enjoyed working with everyone. We had 16 people attend the seminar, which allowed everyone the chance to work with each of the instructors.
Senior Master Anderson taught the first session showing basic disarms with variations. Mr. Anderson also taught a "worst case senario" segment which was very interesting. This was what to do when all else has failed. I found this part very informative. I also found that when practiced correctly worked well. However, if not done correctly still worked, but was a bit more painful. Best to practice this one.
The second session was taught by Datu Hartman. He taught a section on Puno Aborts. I had not seen these before, and found them very effective, and fun to learn. The follow ups, if my timing was off, were suprisingly easy. Mr. Hartman closed his session by incorporating these techniques into the basic sparring drill.
Lots of fun.
I had the pleasure of having my previous instructor, Tim Dawdy, train with me at this event. I felt honoured to introduce Mr. Dawdy to Datu Hartman. Mr. Dawdy, if your on the Forum now, Thank you for attending.
Thanks again to Mr. Hartman and Mr. Anderson. And thank you to all who attended. With your help we will make Modern Arnis strong in Oregon.
