Feeding Crane Seminar

Hello Mattson sensei,
Its been a long time since we have communicated, and you may not remember me. My name is Fred Lohse, and I am a student of Kimo Wall's. A number of years ago Kimo sensei brought Liu Chang'i, the head of the Liu family Feeding Crane system, to one of your summer camps. This year he is bringing him back to the US, and I will be hosting a seminar with him in Boston. It is actually the weekend before your summer camp on the Cape this year- July 18&19. Liu sifu will be doing a 2 day seminar covering some of the basic forms of his system, applications, and the power development drills that put so much "oomph" behind his technique. I don't know if any of your students in the area would be interested, but if so I would be happy to pass on the info for the seminar, or if you have any suggestions for folks to contact in the area, I would be more than happy to get the information to them directly. Since its the week before your annual event, the timing might not be good, but Liu sifu's system and personal skills are excellent, and very interesting to those of us who practice the Okinawan arts, and folks may be interested in a martial-arts dedicated July!
In any case, I hope you are well and enjoying Florida. Take care, and do let me know if you or any of your students would be interested in attending, or in more information.
Thank you for your time.
yours,
Fred Lohse

Hi Fred:
I don't often go to my gmail account and I didn't see this email until today.

If you send me the information, I'll post it on my website. Most Uechi practitioners visit the website at least once a week.

Best,
George

Hello Mattson sensei,

Good to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. Thanks for the quick reply. Sorry about the delay on my end- I had to finish getting the registration form done, schedule finalized, and so on.

Thanks very much for offering to put this info on your website. I've attached a Word document with the seminar information, and a registration form. I hope that folks will be interested. I know you have seen Liu sifu in action- his power is incredible, and the way he moves definitely speaks to a connection to the Okinawan arts.

Right now, I've limited the seminar to 25 people, and we have about 15 spots filled. However, if we get a good response, I'm going to rent a larger space, so if folks are interested, do get in touch with me as soon as possible.

Let me know if there is any more information I can get to you, or any questions I can answer.

Meanwhile, take care, and enjoy the start of summer.

cheers,

Fred
