May I visit your class? I live in Carmichael, haven't trained recently, but kenpo has always looked interesting to me. I'm not the flexible teenager I was when I first became interested in martial arts, more years have passed than I like to acknowledge, but I'd still like to do some training.
Thanks for posting this technique Amy! An old high school buddy taught me a technique like this about 15 years. This could be that very same technique I never got a chance to finish learning from him. I was already training in Shotokan Karate, but my friend was very good with Kenpo & sometimes we sparred & practice different techniques after school, so one day he taught me an awesome Kenpo technique, I'm almost certain it was Five Swords' : - ) Thanks for bringing back this memory : - )
Hi. Resources or not, come back anyway. :) We wouldn't keep someone from learning just because they didn't have the money to pay. We have a number of people who can't afford the classes, but they love it, so we are good with teaching them and they help out with the kids classes or anything else when they can. We're very easy-going. :)
@amylongkenpo even though I'm not from USA we need more instructors like you,that know how to teach and that money is not the only interest when teaching. keep the Kenpo flame alive.
@borobei That's very kind of you to say. Anytime you make it out to our country, you're welcome in our class. :) Fortunately, there are many people that I've met who are more interested in sharing the information than in financial gain. I get paid just enough to fund my visits to camps and seminars and to bring people out to teach. :)
@amylongkenpo Thank you very much sensei for making me welcome in your class. I enjoy practicing kenpo and it's not always easy to find a person who can teach it properly,and yes,many people teaches it or other martial arts only for money.unfortunately many people only teach for money and their interest is to have as many people in their studio even if that means low quality class and relationship between instructor and student or student and student.
@borobei Our class is made up of people who enjoy helping others learn. When we aren't giving one on one, someone else in our class is. Great group. I have been blessed with instructors over the years who have been very generous with their time and knowledge, which continues through today. I'm very lucky. :)
@borobei Sorry to point this out, the late GM of Amy's system is about money Mist a monthly due and out you go. Sign a contract and a collection agency will show up at your door. He did it to me when I lost my job and cant paid. GM is very nice about that still "its buisness nothing personal" as he explained to me
