I just wanted to say a quick “thank you” to all of our students at Arrowhead Martial Arts Studio who attended the March International Kenpo camp held in Las Vegas, Nevada this past weekend.

It was great to see you there learning and having fun. For those who have never been before, I hope it more than met your expectations. By the looks on your faces and the comments you made, I’m sure we’ll see you all back!

As always, I personally learned a ton. The gun defenses were amazing. Mr. Mills has spent a lot of time on these techniques trying to make them simple, direct and effective. Being a world record fast draw champion he is now teaching how to disarm an opponent based on the those same mechanics and ideas. These techniques are far more efficient than what we used to do!

Also, the concept of the “awakening technique” is very powerful. We will cover this more in class over the next few weeks.

For those that couldn’t make it this time, I hope you begin planning to attend in September. It will be another great event. I will post the dates to the September camp shortly. See you in class!
