maaaaan, how time flyes… so much going on in so many different directions but its all good

i hope everyone has gotten most of the x-mas shopping out of the way? I’m almost done. just a few little things to take care of.  i cant believe x-mas is just a week away!  I’ve been pretty busy on a few different fronts. the book is done. just have to get it ready for the download stuff. I’m not too techie. but i have a friend/student who is so i figure after the first of the year it should be on this site as well as in the schools for purchase. I’m pretty happy with how it turned out and am already looking towards the second. i plan on having four in total to comprise the basics of arnis that i teach and will require for black belt. there will be a security seminar in Jan. sometime i will put the details on here asap. within the last 8 yrs i have taught  bouncers/ doormen from all over Oregon in the use of force. I’m proud to say they have all done very well in there fields/clubs. i hope to continue that trend. the tallest has been 7.4 to the shortest 5.6 from 500lbs to 135lbs. crazy, eh?

i also have a good friend that might be coming this way via new Zealand. he is a real master of the arts and if he comes i will be holding a seminar for those interested in seeing a real deal dragon. not too many of those left these days. i hope to make it public but if anything it will be for those guys who have been in my circle and who are adept at arnis already. if it happens it will be awesome. if your interested in said event hit me up and let me know now so i have an idea of the numbers?

upcoming seminar in march 2010. details to follow soon.

waves and warriors 2010 this summer in seaside Oregon. fl-yer to be posted soon. its going to be a great event. a time of learning from the NW’s top martial artist. the majority of the instructors have over 20 yrs under there belts. if that sounds like something you would be interested in hit me up. no paper dragons will be teaching fyi

well that’s all for now from the land of perpetual rain i hope everyone has a blessed Christmas. don’t forget who’s birthday it is and why we celebrate it.

Peace, Love & Light to all of you, ben
