I (and this time the family) will be visiting the sunny isles of Meexdom in the second half of August. Hope HoratioHooah is still on O'ahu - he needs more practice carrying large haoles around - dern them cheatin' little Judoka anyway.
I won't be able to work out with Prof Emperado's KSDI because last January I was working out as usual with Universal Kempo and Prof Eric Guiang informed me that they didn't care who I worked out with on the mainland, but in Hawaii it was them, only. I said, yeah, I'd worked out with KSDI on my last visit and he said, "We know." Hmmm, since I like him and his school (and it's five minutes from my bro's house), I agreed. Too bad they can't just visit and do martial arts together. I'm the only one I know who drops into every school in the area - last night worked out with the new Kosho Shorei Ryu Kempo dojo (good) and a month ago three of us joined for a night with a Bobby Lawrence school (nice group, but sorry guys, you're McDojo'd to the max) and so forth.
Here's links to the other threads when we got a couple little throwdowns, so as to provide amusement and info... And yes, Kungfools will not be in attendance again, I'll wager.

Here's a picture of me and HoratioHooah from last winter:

I certainly do encourage everyone to vacation in Hawaii. Between me and Meex we have contacts with and can get you into at least a couple Kajukenbo (or split off) schools, BJJ schools, karate dojos, Gung Fu, and so forth. Come on down to test out your skills and swill Mai Tai's (Meex can drive and he's happy to entertain you and feed you and let you stay at his house and get you tickets for the shows and he has a cute sister!). And no matter what style you think sucks, we can probably quickly come up with a practitioner of that style who can kick your ass!
