My instructor and us students used to attend multi art seminars here in England as a way of meeting like minded souls (and also a little confirmation biast on our training) although we were mixed grades/levels some teachers would have 'black belt only lessons' etc so we used to carry a bag of belts so we could chop and change to the instructors wishes lol the look on the teachers faces was hysterical 'didn't I just see you guys in a beginners session?' Etc questions were raised, great times great learning, now I'm hungry for shrimp 🍤
Actually, going to a seminar sparked my interest again to train on a weekly basis. I had not done Martial arts for a long time, 10 years or so, and then i thought hey let’s do something again and visit a couple of seminars. That got the fire burning again, since then i started training again in a class 2 times a week, and i still visit seminars to learn from others and gain different point’s of view on how to do stuff. So i am thankfull for Seminars.
Yep been to a couple of bubba Gump shrimp seminars before. Good points in this video. We must be an open book, expose ourselves to different concepts and approaches to self-defense, and seminars, videos, etc., are an excellent way to learn and connect with like-minded people.
Yes a couple! But more of Paul v's and there was lots of hands on reinforcing things I knew with some I didn't! Leaving I felt like I'd been to that buffet your speaking about but upon returning home I was hurried to share my experiences with my instructing peers and the local Trooper defensive tactics officer in a unscheduled class. Turns out the only person that thought I need to dwell on what I'd learned was me.
Certain seminars cover a smaller, more focused set of principles and most of the time spent in the seminar is drilling them with lots of repetition. Personally speaking, I prefer these kinds. -GN
I did two days with Gaje pre-Covid and there was not a lot being taught. Mostly just a chance to see and meet the man. I did three days with Kelly McCann a couple of years back that was great. All simple, direct stuff that was reinforced through practical applications and well worth the time and money. I also did three days with Jim Keating a few years ago and got a life times worth of material to drill and keep learning from. Best seminar I’ve attended by a mile.
For me I love seminars and I'm a ptk instructor :) I love seminars I would sleep in my car to be there on time it's fun, and as for the seminar I always repetition the techniques and even when the day of the seminar is over I go over it again and write notes because I don't want to forget the techniques I learn and I pretend teach sometimes lol I get it you might think I'm crazy haha but meaning that there is an invisible student which I'm "teaching" which I find helps me retain alot :) 😀
I like the video. Agree, back in the day there was much more dedication and desire than there is today, as I see it. Plus, now you have those who go to a seminar and become "Masters" and proclaim their skills at their dojo and believe it as well. Seems like there are more who only want to be masters and forget to be students.

That's a great perspective on seminars. They can reignite the fire to train the martial arts. Thanks for sharing!
