Toronto Canada Martial Arts Demonstration

On Friday, November 20th, John McDonald (one of my 2nd Degree Black Belts) and I performed a 30-minute martial arts demonstration in Concord, Ontario at Dave & Buster's. I performed the following Kung Fu weapons forms: Single Dragon Short Stick 1, Double Dragon Short Stick 1, Single Tonfa Set 1, Orr Fai Do Fa (Saber), as well as the 5th Degree American Kenpo Karate form, Long Form 8 (double knives). I also performed the following techniques once slowly, and once at street speed on John: Sleeper, Spiraling Twig, Thundering Hammers, The Back Breaker, and Dance of Death with extension. John performed the following Kenpo Karate sets and forms: Blocking Set 1 & 2, Short Form 1, Long Forms 1-3, Kicking Set 2, Finger Set 1 & 2, Coordination Set 1, Striking Set 1, and Stance Set 2. That is quite a bit of material to perform in 30 minutes so it was pretty intense and the audience seemed to really like it. I even had an old friend who lives in the Toronto area who I had not seen in over 10 years come out to watch. It was great to hang out with John, who is a great friend of mine, student, and fellow brother in Jesus Christ.
