Summary of Sean Kelley Seminars

Last night I just got back from Bradford, Pennsylvania after attending 2 seminars taught by Senior Professor Sean Kelley. My good friends and students, Matt Trejo and Brennan Weatherhead also came with me.

The first seminar was "Speak with a knife, Part 2." In this seminar, we reviewed the striking angles and attacks that were taught in Mr. Kelley's knife seminar back in May, and then added in some knife on knife drills, as well as an empty hand vs. knife drill with a disarm.

In the second seminar, Mr. Kelley taught on the "What-if" and "Formulation" stages of Kenpo. In this seminar, we worked on Snapping Twig, Shield and Mace, as well as Twirling Hammers. He also showed how to blend Shield and Mace with Twirling Hammers while aggressively moving forward.

The day was then topped off with sparring. There were some great fights, and I always love closing the day off with a few fights.
