Connecticut seminars

American kenpo karate seminars
Just back from the Hartford area over the weekend. I was invited to teach at Cromwell Martial Arts in Middletown. The instructor is Frank Shekosky, and his wife, Debbie, is a black belt, too.

They have two beautiful daughters as well.
This is a nice, neat school with some great people there. Frank is experienced in multiple systems and also learned the Parker system from Paul Zaniewski, one of our guys in CT. He is ranked in Modern Arnis, having learned from Professor Remy Presas. Frank has a group photo in his school of him with Wally Jay, Remy Presas, and George Dillman. That's impressive!

The turnout for the seminars was good with people coming from New York, Massachusetts, and parts of Connecticut. One of the group from the old Robert Ray Karate in the Atlanta area, John Bacon, is living up there and he made it the seminars, too. Bill Gaudette and Lance Soares from MA came down. Both of them had been at the Disney seminar we held the weekend before. That's dedication!

I enjoyed working with the groups there and have been invited back for the fall. Hope to see you there. www.cromwellmartialarts.com
