Tuhon Kier,
My name is Robert Denzer and I just purchased my membership 2 days ago. I obtained my black belt in the Tracy’s system of Kenpo from Dave Kovar in 1987. I then had a 7 year career in kickboxing during the Alexio years, ending around 1994. I still train regularly, my Gold’s also has 9 of the 7 foot tall heavy bags so I can kick and punch around 15 rounds pretty regularly, training is NOT work for me. Over the last 32 years I have always trained and done a little stick work and been teaching myself FMA knife fighting, for the lack of a better term. But, in regards to your tome, what is my training in Sayoc supposed to be? I have talked to John at NorCal but he is more than 2 hours away. I am in Roseville, north of Sacramento. I will be attending all seminars down there, I have the 3 of 9 DVD and am waiting for the beginners DVD. The problem is the 3 of 9 shows no basics to which to train. I am a huge believer in repetition being the key to any endeavor. I have searched for 2 days on the website and cannot find a thing on what to train daily or even what the basic knife strikes are? I possess a plethora of DVDs that show the basic 8, 10, 12, angles for sticks and knives, but, I could really use some help as to what I should be doing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Robert Denzer
