We’re back from September 2009 Paul Mills AKKI International Kenpo Camp in Evanston, Wyoming and have a lot to talk about!
First, congratulations to following people on their belt promotions:
- Joshua – 2nd Brown
- Jessica- 1st Brown
- Nate – Green
- Joel – Green
- Blake – Blue
- Aaron – Blue
As always, I was extremely proud of all of you and really glad to see you on the test floor. You represented our school well. Now take the experience and build on it and let it help you grow.
Second, thank you for all the students and instructors who were able to attend and support the camp. I know for some, this was your very first camp and probably are a little bit wide eyed at the whole experience. It was good to have you all there and I look forward to seeing you again at future camps.
As Jessica T. said on our Facebook page:
Thanks! Another successful camp. I came back feeling the familiar excitement for the depths of the art–and feeling a few bruises and aches too.
It really is amazing the amount of material that is offered there. I hope more people can come in six months.
Based on the other feedback I received, I’d say I’m not the only one who had a good time!
Here’s what Jodi had to say:
I would just like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to participate in Mr. Mills International September 2009 Kenpo Camp in Evanston Wyoming. Although I was not able to attend the complete camp I found it extremely motivating and very inspiring. I know that I will be attending the next camp. Thanks again.
Also, thanks to those who attended my seminars and hope you got a lot out of them. For those who couldn’t make my seminars, I will be teaching some of the ideas in class soon.
It was a fun for me to have you all learn from my instructor Mr. Paul Mills as well as the other senior black belts in the AKKI.There were a lot of great seminars on developing the proper mindset, reflexive response training, power, timing, knives, ground fighting, forms, techniques, sets and more.
As usual, my head is still swimming. How about yours?
I will post the camp dates for this Spring just as soon as they are available and hope you can all make it!
About Ryan Wheaton
"When I came to Arrowhead Martial Arts the first time and saw that many people are starting at, or over, my age helped me realize that you dont have to be a kid to begin taking martial arts lessons Its more personalized than any martial arts studio i’ve seen….no getting lost in the crowd! its a comfortable learning environment. Its a place where you expect more and more of yourself because of the quality of the instructors. I love this studio!" - Heather Shaw
What a great camp… Congratulations to all that tested. It was an honor to watch, and to have people know that we represent the same school. You all did an amazing job! I also learned a ton of stuff from each seminar that I was able to attend. Thank you!
Another great camp for sure! What a great experience. The testing format this year added a new level of stress to the already stirring butterflies. Great seminars with lots of important material…both new & basic!
