Kenpo Karate

Ron Nakamoto is joining Sacramento Kenpo Karate!

We have some big and wonderful news!

Ron Nakamoto has agreed to come to Sacramento Kenpo Karate full time! He is bringing his student, Thomas, and later Thomas' daughter, Nicole, with us as well. With that, we'll be getting Johny back with us, even if only part-time.

Ron will be coming with us to train Tues and Thurs for the regular class and Wed for the advanced class.

As a general announcement, I will not be attending Wed. night workouts for the month of December. If the rest of you would like to get together at Mather on those Wednesdays, you are more than welcome to, but Ron and I need a little break.

We've been looking forward to having Aron come back. He's been out for a little bit and class isn't the same without him.

We've also enjoyed having Kevin Bates come to class and share his knowledge and good nature with us.

We would like to Welcome Ron and his students with great enthusiasm. He is a wealth of information and is an all around good guy. We're delighted to have him join us.

Seminar with John Sepulveda

Yesterday, Ron, Eugene and I went to see John Sepulveda in Elk Grove at Sher Khan karate.

As always, it was a pleasure to see him. I first met him when I was about 12.
He was very good friends with my first instructor.

At any rate, he went over a variety of techniques with the extensions and did some double stick work.

I know Eugene had a good time, as did Ron.

It's always great to work out with different martial artists and it's also a good check to see where we need to improve and where we can smile secretly to ourselves knowing that we did a good job.

While we all recognize that doing kenpo is for ourselves and that we shouldn't compare our skills to others, it's hard not to. :)

It's also a great learning experience to work with people who've had different instruction and have different ways of moving. Anyway, it's was a great time had by all.

We all appreciate Chris Tanaka for the invitation and will gladly return anytime Mr. Sepulveda is in town.

I was glad to see him getting around so well after his back injury almost a year ago.

Next week is Mr. Lee Wedlake. :)
