I just got back from the AKKI Camp and wanted to give everyone a quick update.
First, it was great to have so many people there attending the camp. Thank you to all who made it. For those who didn’t, start saving your nickels and dimes for the next one! I will post the dates of the next camp as soon as they’re available.
Second, congratulations to Christine, Jess and Rex on their advancement to 2nd degree brown belt. Next stop, black belt! You represented our studio well and, as always, you did an outstanding job out on the test.
Third, I can’t believe all of the “secrets” that were taught in the seminars. There were definitely some things let out of the bag, as it were. I know I came back with a ton of notes on new ideas and things to work on.
Fourth, the banquet was outstanding. The slide show that Mr. Jacob put together was fun to watch. There were a ton of photos from 1966 on up of Mr. Mills and Mr. Parker. I even made it in a few of them. I will post some of these photos at some point. For some reason, everyone seemed to like the one of Mr. Mills putting my head through the wall … I wonder why that is?!
I will be posting photos and details of the event shortly to our website. More soon!
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
Please post at least one of the Western pictures of you and Mr. Mills dueling with pistols too!
This was an excellent camp with a ton of great material being shared by instructors from all over the world. I was impressed by the great support from the Ireland school and humbled by the sacrifices they all made to be there. The level of intensity and energy was contagious, and I left several of the seminars exhausted but very happy!! Thanks to all of you that made it, you represented our school well!! Next time I hope we can get an even larger group and really show them how we roll..
