Shen Chuan Review - Announcement of Camp Lansdale #11

Friday Night:

6:00-7:00pm: Sensei Adam Coats with Shihan Richard Hartstein, will demonstrate techniques from the SHEN CHUAN STREETBOXING DIVISION. Sensei Coats has been assigned the development of this division, overseen by Professor Coy Harry and Grandmaster Joe Lansdale.

7:00-8:00pm: Shihan Paul Britt will demonstrate techniques that show his personal approach to the harder style aspects of Shen Chuan. Shihan Britt has had many years of real street experience as a sheriff's deputy and police officer, and has written articles on martial arts for magazines.

8:00-9:00pm: Shihan Bob Lacher will be demonstrating Aikijujitsu techniques from Shen Chuan. Quick easy lock ups and throws.

9:00-10:00pm: Sensei Jared Taylor will teach techniques from Shen Chuan that link with the popular sport of combative ring arts. Sensei Taylor has had a number of successful ring bouts in both boxing and cage fighting. This should be fun and informative.

Saturday:

9:00-10:30am: Grandmaster Lansdale will demonstrate striking, advanced joint locking, and throws. Grandmaster Lansdale will have been involved in self-defense and traditional and non-traditional martial arts training 45 years as of this camp. UNIQUE AND AMAZING MATERIAL.

10:30-NOON: Our HEADLINER GUEST, Guru Mike Casto will be demonstrating how he has added Shen Chuan training to his training in Sikal, and other systems, and how in turn he has brought other techniques to Shen Chuan. Mike is a very fine martial artist and is a student of Grandmaster Lansdale, as well as Guru Ken Pannell of the Sikal system. He has been a guest many times at Camp Lansdale, but this is his first, and well deserved, time to be our headliner along with Grandmaster Lansdale. You DO NOT WANT TO MISS THIS.

NOON-1:00pm: LUNCH (No instructor necessary)

1:00-2:00pm: Our SPECIAL GUEST, Sifu Brandon Jones, will be demonstrating techniques of self-defense from his system, SEVEN STAR PRAYING MANTIS. This is a rare and unusual system, and an equally rare opportunity.

2:30-3:30pm: Grandmaster Lansdale returns with pressure point training, balance disruption, as well as assorted self-defense techniques. If you haven't seen Shen Chuan balance disruption, you are in for a treat.

3:30-4:30pm: Professor Billy Jack Worsham will teach a clinic on quick strikes to finish. Professor Billy Jack is one of Grandmaster's personal students, and is a personal student of Professor Coy Harry, inheritor of the Shen Chuan system. Fast and furious. We call Professor Billy Jack Worsham the Rabid Chihuahua.

4:30-5:30pm: Sifu Michael Billings will teach Chinese Kenpo, emphasizing elements of Shen Chuan that he has added into his techniques. Mike is a long time Kenpo practioner, and a very good one. This will be an outstanding session.

5:30-5:45pm: A BREAK, and you'll need it.

5:45-6:45pm: Praying Mantis Gung Fu with Sifu Brandon Jones. Another look at this unique form of self-defense.

Sunday:

9:00-11:00am: Guru Mike Casto. A full two hour session with Guru. This time emphasizing weapons, stick and knife and empty hand.

11:00-NOON: Professor Coy Harry, Soke Dai of the Shen Chuan system will teach concepts and principles and how to apply them to technique. Professor Harry is Grandmaster's hand picked successor and his knowledge of the art, and his ability to explain and teach it, are unsurpassed.

NOON-1:00pm: Unsupervised lunch. Don't put your eye out.

1:00-2:30pm: Grandmaster Joe Lansdale: Full Tilt Boogie Shen Chuan. Many aspects of this exciting art will be explored by its founder.
