Hey Matthew - well the seminar was barely a seminar at all. More like a private or semi-private session. Sterling enjoyed that :) and I enjoyed working with Sterling and the few guys how came from Chicago and Hugo and Chris. It was good to meet the newer guys and catch up with Hugo, Chris, and Sterling. I also get a chance to meet up with Dan who often participates on this blog and say hello to Chuck Pippin. In any case, it was a good opportunity to propel people forward in what the needed to learn AND show them how all of it works together from standing, to knife, to stick, and ground. We did a little of all of it and worked some jurus-jurus too.

I don't know if I'll do another Keluarga at this point since the turn out was so dismal. A lot of people who were well within driving distance did not make the effort.

Even so, it was great to see those who were there and give them a brain dump of things.

Sterling has been promoted onto Level 6 and is going to test out of that by October and then Level 7 in March sometime. We'll have to work out the instructor testing at some point in there.

Tim Consola from Chicago tested out of level 2 and is moving on to level 3.

sorry for all the typos...

Not sure how to respond to your post. Sorry the turnout was so lacking.

it is what it is. I am not going to worry about it but neither am I going to put that energy out ya know? When and if it becomes right again, then I'll do it.

I'll probably offer similar things here in Florida regularly.

As for the rest, it was all good so you can respond positively. Sterling and Tim both got promoted and I was able to give them some of the gist for entirety of the system. That's all good.
