Is any one who posts on this forum planning to come to Austin?

[Britt]

I think I might go. What will you be going over?

[thtackett]

Do you have anything special you would like to see? We'll review how to get power in your kicks and punches, making trapping work in the real world, advanced footwork and distance training, broken rhythm and defense against grappling. I'm open to suggestions, but it must be something I can do and teach.

Aloha Mr Britt,
Just shoot me an email, or give me a call at the school on Monday. We always manage to have a good time, and Tim is very open to showing you what you want to see.. All you gotta do is ask..

Hope you can make it.

Thanks, Sifu Goldade. I'll give you a call and/or shoot you an email.

Thanks for the call, Sifu, looking forward to the seminar.

Quick question for the both of you: I have a friend that's in the process of moving to Austin who's into sport kickboxing and grappling; I think he would really enjoy Jeet Kune Do, but he's a little leery of most martial arts (particularly stuff like the gi, belt rank, bowing in, no contact, etc.) His repsonse when I mentioned the seminar was that he's "not a karate guy." I don't want to twist his arm or anything, but having worked with him I think it may be just his kind of thing. What would you say to such a guy?

[thtackett]

You can tell him that what we do is closer to kickboxing than karate.

Britt,
Have him check out the website.. We have lot's of different programs based on what people want to do.

- Hawaiian Kenpo / Kajukenbo = Plenty of contact
- JKD / Kickboxing = Sparring every class
- Filipino Martial Arts = Plenty of sparring ( stick, knife & hand to hand )
- BJJ = Rolling every class

We don't bow... We shake hands...

Not everyone wants to do Karate, and not everyone wants to be the next ultimate fighter.. We have programs that will accommodate most people, as long as they really want to train..

Bring him with you to Tim's seminar, and he will see what we are talking about.


Take care

Dean.

[Britt]

Thanks to you both. I'll pass it along.

[thtackett]

I hope to see some of you next weekend. at Dean's.

Just a short note to thank Sifu Tim for another great seminar.

Every time he visits, I better understand not only the "how", but the "why" of what he teaches... ( but I still got a long way to go )

Also Sifu Willie Wilson made it down, and shared some great info on short range / in close punching, and developing short range power... Willie knows his stuff, and was able to pass it on very well... I hope he can make it to Vegas to share this with everyone.

Anyway great time had by all... Time to get back to work...

Thanks again Sifu.

Dean.

I had a really great time as well; thanks to Sifus Goldade, Tackett, and Wilson for an absolutely great seminar. Everyone was extremely friendly and knowledgable (instructors, students, and guests alike), and I really enjoyed it. Looking forward to seeing that group picture on your website.
