Last weekend I was at Graham Lelliott's studio in Fresno, CA to teach a seminar on Form 6. As you can see from the picture, Tara enjoyed herself. Graham has a great group of people and Tara, along with Amy Long came in from Sacramento, Dave Arnold drove all the way up from the San Diego area, and an old friend, Craig McCoy was there, too.
I hadn't seen Craig since Mr. Parker's funeral, so it was good to get caught up. He's got a sharp mind and spent a lot of time with Ed Parker and other top-notch martial artists. While we were at lunch, John Henderson stopped by and sat with us. John had run the Santa Monica school many years ago. So when the two of them got re-acquainted, with Graham and I sitting there, the stories were flying.
Amy Long took this photo and said it captures 'enthusiasm for teaching". I really enjoyed working with the group on a complex subject and learned a few things myself. All in all it was a fruitful trip and I thank everyone who was there to make it a success.
(Side note: If you were at the event and wish to have the pictures, you may download them at www.sacramentokenpokarate.com/Wedlake1.zip (mostly the kids' seminar) and www.sacramentokenpokarate.com/Wedlake2.zip)
