For our West Coast Friends

For those who want to see about the links to FMA in kempo and broaden their mind on knife defenses, I just received this email from Pat Armijo:

I hope all is well with you. I just wanted to let you know about a couple of seminars. The first one will be in San Pablo on June 7th and 8th. GM Alfredo Bandalan, GM Vincent Cabales, GM Remy Presas Jr. and GM Max Pallen will be featured at this seminar.
 
The seminar will be filmed in high definition compliments of ORION Pictures.
 
Please check the following link for the seminar flyer.
 
 
The second seminar will be in Ferndale, Washington, at Karate Quest, on June 13, 14, and 15. GM Remy Presas Jr. will be coming up to demonstrate his unique skills in Modern Arnis. Several of his students from the San Pablo School will be joining  us.  Please check the following link for the seminar flyer.
 
 
Best Regards,
 
Patrick Armijo
If I was in that neck of the woods, I’d definitely check it out.

There are a couple of guys – Cliff Seminerio and Juan Serrano – that have begun a project to put the entire curriculum of Ed Parker’s American Kenpo on Youtube. They want to create a free resource. I certainly want to support their efforts. Let’s make a point of watching their stuff and giving some helpful feedback.

Seminar June 1st

Posted on May 18, 2008 by matt

Dragon Phoenix Martial Arts is hosting a seminar June 1st from 10-3. KenpoJoe Rebelo will be teaching a section comparing different types of Kempo emphasizing the shared principles. For those wishing to see the similarities in principle between kempo and the Filipino arts, Guro Dan Donzella will be there to teach single and double stick drills and some Panantukan. Finally, Sigung Rudy Duncan will teach the combat applications of Tai Chi. I know all three of these gentlemen, and have enjoyed working with each of them. This is a great chance to address several areas that can improve your practice. Hope to see you there!
