October Camp 2003

  OCTOBER CAMP (2003) was a blast. Our guest this year was Sifu Michael Billings, a practitioner of Kenpo. He showed his stuff and Professor Lansdale showed his. As an added bonus, Professor Frizzell and Guru Mike Casto and Sensei Norma Almanza conducted short clinics.

Guru Casto demonstrated Indonesian and Fillipino arts, with an emphasis on ground work. Painful nasty non-ju-jitsu groundwork.

Professor Frizzell demonstrated the effortless stick work that defines Shen Chuan Stickboxing, and Sensei Norma Almanza worked boxing drills and showed the connection between boxing and Shen Chuan.

And, of course, Professor Lansdale demonstrated a combination of low, mid, and high level techniques from Shen Chuan.

Tapes of the October 2003 camp are available for twenty-five dollars. It's a two tape set. Includes Professor Lansdale, Sifu Billings and Professor Frizzell.

The Photo Gallery for the Camp is located on Page 9 of this newsletter.


Other Seminars...

LATE IN OCTOBER, Professor Lansdale was Sifu Billings' guest in Austin, Texas, where he conducted a seminar in Shen Chuan with the help of Jared and Adam Taylor.

NOVEMBER, Professor Lansdale conducted a seminar at Grandmaster Higginbotham's school in Indianapolis, and it went over very well.

This is the second time this event has been held, and it's scheduled again for the weekend before Thanksgiving, 2004. This is a favorite event of Professor Lansdale, as he and Grandmaster Will are good friends.

Shihan Coy Harry assisted in this seminar, and was of great aid to the Professor.

ALSO IN NOVEMBER, Professor Lansdale and Sensei Jared Taylor conducted two hour programs at the INTERNATIONAL COMBAT HAPKIDO HALL OF FAME meeting in Lexington, Ky. It was very well received.

The word is spreading.

For those of you who have been with us from the start, you are in on the ground floor of a martial art that is growing by leaps and bounds and will be prominent in the twenty-first century.

Future events. APRIL 24-25. Professor Lansdale, Uncle Bill de Thouars, Founder of the Kuntao system, and Guro Ken Pannell, who gave a great seminar here with Professor Lansdale not too long ago, will be giving a seminar in Louisville, Ky., conducted by our buddy Guro Mike Casto.

This is worth the trip. Not only to support Shen Chuan, but to train with two other excellent martial artists. Uncle Bill is a legend. Don't miss it. For information, check out TRIPLE IMPACT on the web here.
