Sijo DeMile and Sibok Ambrose Seminar
Feb 8th - 9th Clearwater, Florida: contact George Roberts for more details
at groberts84@hotmail.com
Sijo DeMile will be covering Closing and Trapping on Friday, Sibok Ambrose
will be covering Chi Sai, Phon Sao and more on Saturday.
Follow up: SIJO JAMES DEMILE SEMINAR
The seminars were a great success. It’s been several years since Sijo’s
last visit and this weekend of seminars was some of his best. Participants
flew and drove hours for the opportunity to train and visit with our grandmaster.
They came from Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kansas, Florida and from Windsor and
Winnipeg, Canada. His visits are so rare, so students and friends from all
over the Midwest flock to see him whenever the opportunity arises.
Demand for continued training was high so a third seminar was set up for Sunday. Sijo DeMile taught the mechanics of Bruce Lee’s One and Three-Inch Power Punch. We expected a low turnout due to the last minute addition, but participation was as high as the previous two seminars!
“This was one of the best seminar weekends I have ever attended. The Developmental Meditation was one of the best, the Saturday WCD seminar was tailored for the students there, and the Sunday Power Punch seminar was a bonus.” J. Reichert
“This is an opportunity of a lifetime. I gained new insights and a different perspective on concepts and techniques. I loved it.” B. Otto
The seminar students were treated
to a bar-b-que in Sijo’s honor on Saturday night. The food was plentiful
and the company was excellent. The weather was perfect. Everything came together
to create a highly energetic and positive experience for all the participants,
for Ambrose Academy, and for Sijo DeMile. Special thanks to Paul and Donna
Smith for hosting the BBQ.

Programs
Afterschool Martial Arts – coming August/Sept 08:
An excellent alternative to crowded latchkey or daycare programs. Not only
do you get two activities for the price of one, but your child will learn
lifelong skills such a discipline, character development, interpersonal relationship
skills, and the “Yes I can” attitude; young people that will settle
for nothing
less than their personal best. Because they attend everyday you will see a
transformation almost immediately. Transportation from area schools.
3-5:45pm $65 a week. Class size is limited.
