Mont Vernon seminar June 11

6th degree Bill Gaudette of Massachusetts kicked off the 20th anniversary seminars at Jim Peacock's Mont Vernon Karate in New Hampshire Saturday. He did a nice presentation on limb destruction. He was followed by our host, Mr. Peacock.
  I've known Jim since he was a blue or green belt and it's nice to see how he's progressed over the years. His session was on how to blend techniques from Long Three as a situation changes. Very nice.
  Mr. Steve White, instructor to both Peacock and Gaudette followed the lunch break with a seminar he calls "Fun with Five Swords".
   In the picture below you'll see all the instructors along with one of my long-time guys, Robert Wallace out of Spartanburg, South Carolina.
 
  I wrapped up the day with a session on expanding your knowledge with an application of one of Mr. Parker's sayings, that being; "For every move, concept, principle and definition, there is an opposite and a reverse." I've been doing this seminar recently and it's been well-received.

The crowd of close to 40 on a cool, rainy day in New England enjoyed all the classes and some anniversary cake, too.

 Our congratulations to Mont Vernon Karate on their 20 years!
