Warren D. used to train with us here in Maryland, but moved to Western NY a few years ago. He has set up a training group in Western NY and invited me up to give a seminar for his students. It was a fun trip, and I enjoyed my first “beef on weck” sandwich …
Guro Bob Shin facilitated a six-hour Sayoc Kali seminar just outside of Buffalo, NY. It was attended by eight people, with experience ranging from several years to none at all. Several of the general principles of Sayoc Kali were addressed, including feeder/receiver mindsets, proper training etiquette, the concept of ‘all blade all the time’, and general blade handling techniques.
Thanks for inviting me up, Warren!
