Sensei Allan,
Just wanted to say how good it was to see you again at our summer training camp and to meet some of your terrific students. Your seminars were, as always, very enjoyable and rewarding. I also enjoyed training with Joe and Ben, and (of course) helping them study American nightlife!
I look forward to seeing you and "the lads" again next year! Until then, OSSU!

Hi Sensei Allan
Thought that I would try this page to say that I really enjoyed your summer visit to Brookings and all the help and friend ship you have given to me. Am looking forward to seeing you this summer at our 20th celebration. I am going to try and have you come to my club as guest instructor while you are here. Hope your Hollidays are great.
Your friend.

Hello, Everyone! Greetings from Canada! I learned about your site from one of my classmates at Virtual University. I would like to add your link to my site and hope you will add mine. Unfortunately, next month I am going to migrate to another ISP but will let you know my new URL. Best to all of you. I hold a 2nd Dan in Kenpo Karate but started off in Shoto Kan. I still regard Shoto Kan as my mother art.
