Thank you!

Chris, I appreciate the offer... Actually, I also have both Allen's book and video. What I'm hoping for is to make contact with Allen's family, in hope that the original documents (electronic - Word Docs or whatever was used) and video, still exist. And if they do, I'm hoping that the family would g...

Greetings from Florida, Home of Scorced Earth Land Development, Inc. (or something like that) I heard sometime ago, with great saddness, that Allen Moulton died. (If Allen is alive, I will greatly rejoice!) I was wondering if anyone knows how to contact Allen's family? I have a question about the ma...

I've asked behind the scences to see if this message was appropriate, but I've recieved no response... So I'll try posting it and see what happens... It's been a long time since I've posted to this website... but I can not allow this thread to continue without putting in my own 2 cents. There were a...

The following is a summary written by Tony, of a visit Tony and I made to Charlie this passed Saturday 10/18/2003 Rick and I (Tony) visited Charlie Saturday, Oct. 18. It was great to see Charlie so much improved. He was in good spirits, smiling a lot and even laughing out loud. He was very alert. Hi...

Severl of us are planning a road trip from Tampa to Orlando, to visit Charlie, either this Saturday or next...

I've heard his stay at the rehab facility is about over. When I know what his new contact information is, I'll post it for those of you interested in sending some encouragement to Charlie.

Rick, Your sensie and his family are in my prayers for a quick and lasting recovery. I am a firm believer in the power of prayer. God speed. Vicki, Thank you for your kind words. Many of us here, including Charlie, his daughter (actually most of his family), myself and others in our dojo, are also ...

I'd like to add one book for two reasons. One, it's small and two, it's practical for the range you'll need it...unwanted grab range. Actually, there are three MA books I would consider a must, but I think when you confine the topic to books particularly good for women, I'd have to just choose one o...

Traditionally in shotokan 5th degree is the highest you can attain… I'm glad you said that... it made other things clearer. I'd like to teach... I want to teach. I am now working on aquiring the substance and quality to have something woth sharing/teaching when the time comes. For now, the closest ...

I've noticed that a lot of you have read my message about Charlie. Thank you. I though I'd post an update on how he's doing. The follow are from an email sent to me by his daughter For those of you who may not know, last Thursday (Sept 18th), dad (Charlie) began slightly moving his left hand and foo...

Allen,

Thank you for your compassion.
I will pass your offer along to the family and our dojo.

The subject line may be strange but it is also true. Some of you have probably worked out with one of my teachers, Sensei Charles Blackmon . This is an important message about Charlie. This message has been authorized by his daughter Dionne. One of my instructors, someone a great many of us love dee...

Thank you, that seems to cover most of them.... Actually it's more complete than I woud have ended up with, but it didn't seem to mention a couple things on my list... the knee strikes (as in seichin and seisan); and the toe strike (as in the seichin and seirui crane block). Perhaps the toe strikes ...

I'm trying to put together some handouts for new students so they can know the names of our various weapons. If you could help me make a complete list, I would appreciate it. I think I have all the names for the various hand strikes/weapons, such as: the shuto for the knife hand; the seiken for the ...
