Master's Seminar in Mandeville, LA posted by scotch on 28 Mar 2005
~The following is from email updates from Sensei Jerry Douglas~

I just wanted to keep you posted and let you know the seminar is still on for April 30th! I'm getting calls from all over the country,and if everybody shows up that say they're coming,it's gonna be a GREAT time to be an Isshinryu karateka at this event!!! I found out this afternoon,another first generation student,Master Tom Lewis,is planning to attend! Masters Lewis and Johnson both got their black belts at about the same time!

SEMINAR LOCATION:
Mandeville Karate Center
2050 Spartan Dr
Mandevilel, LA 70448


Master Mitchum will be teaching (assisted by Master John Ingram), basics,bunkai, and empty-hand weapons. For the afternoon session, Master Johnson will teach self defense,with emphasis on kids,and bo basics. So....bring your bo's!!! One last thing to consider. The New Orleans Heritage and Jazz Fest will be in full swing while we're in the dojo! So come a day early, or stay a day (or two) later and enjoy some great music! Some of us are going on Sunday, so if you're interested, let me know,and we can go as a group!

I'm also working on getting group rates at one of the local hotels. I'll keep you posted on that. PLEASE make plans,and try to make it to this VERY important event! Just think back and try to remember if you've EVER attended a seminar,where there were THREE first generation students! Hope to see you all there.
