The SPECIAL EVENT at SUMMERFEST

Return to SummerFest Home Page

Every year quite a few SummerFest participants request that "next year . . . how about an all-day session with (insert your favorite teacher) where I can spend some quality time with him/her working on a more personal, focused and detailed session."

I've made a few calls and so far, everyone likes the idea and are willing to spend an additional day in Plymouth, teaching a special half day or full day seminar.

The following teachers have agreed to teach on Thursday:

[This is a separate event and requires an "event" registration"

1. Roy Bedard : 10AM - 5PM Tuition $600 (30% discount for early registrations - July 25th)

THE WINNER GOES TO JAIL
Maslow considered safety and security the fundamental human need, placing it just above air, food and water. Our country is built on the right to live free from tyranny and hostility. The framers of our Constitution believed safety and security to be unalienable rights for which all persons are entitled in order to defend against aggression and using all manner of force, including deadly force if necessary to insure that guaranteed safety.

But remarkably when a person does defend himself in the streets of America, and particularly when that person is forced to take the life of another, he is treated neither as a hero nor a champion of American virtues. Rather he is vilified, arrested and aggressively prosecuted. Most often, in the
aftermath of a self-defense case, the winner goes to jail.

Now, in Massachusetts, the very seat of American liberty, Roy Bedard presents a unique training seminar, the first of its kind in the country designed exclusively for criminal and civil attorneys who represent clients of combat crimes. Whether you are a prosecutor, plaintiff or defense attorney the knowledge and skills you will learn in this 8-hour symposium will open your eyes to the true nature of self-defense and assist you immeasurably in self-defense case preparation.

Roy will share with you the science of combat as understood by law enforcement officials and military professionals who regularly engage in life and death struggles. In a culture defined by periods of war, the combat sciences are one of the oldest in the world, yet they remain so exclusive
to the warrior class that few have felt the need to learn or study this unique physiological phenomena of the life or death fight. You will learn what the professionals know and what they share among themselves regarding:

• misconceptions of judges and juries regarding the fight/flight phenomena
• schematic response to unarmed and armed aggression
• salient features of combat stress
• aftermath of a critical incident
• behaviors that define predatory violence
• what is moralistic violence and why is it lawful and justifiable for self-preservation?
• methods to properly establish and defend an
affirmative defense
• presenting a compelling evidence based case to judges, juries and the press.
• key characteristics of critical incident amnesia
• defense strategies that compel jurors to empathize
• court rulings on civilian and law enforcement use of force, and why cops do what they do.
• methods that law enforcement investigators use when investigating members of the profession and how these differ from investigations involving members of the general public.
• how heuristic police investigations have likely landed thousands of people in jail for exercising their most important Constitutional right
• how to work within the confines of law including self defense, castle doctrine and stand you ground laws.

If you are in the business of defending or prosecuting alleged criminals, you won't want to miss this seminar.
It is a college education in a single day and it is guaranteed to make you exponentially more effective in your work.

4. Darin Yee: 10AM - 4PM Tuition- $50

Many say our grandmaster Kanbum trained solely in sanchin kata for 7 years. I've heard some skeptics questioned 7 years on such limited movements. From my 51 years of southern kung fu studies, my seminar will demonstrate numerous powerful and effective attacks and defenses through my sanchin bunki. My seminar will encourage you to think about every move you make. What is beneficial and what is not so much. You will examine the range of your motions and the use of position to gain strength. My seminar will introduce finest and compare this to strength. If all we can count on is strength, then those of us blessed with size and strength will always prevail. If what we are learning is actually an art, knowledge, understanding and training will conquer all.

5. Robb Buckland : 10AM - 4PM Tuition - $100 ]
YOUR INVITATION TO JOIN OUR JOURNEY

We are looking for fitness enthusiasts and martial artists who are ordinary people with extraordinary determination. Learning is not about finding the best style; it's about finding the best instructors. The best instructor is someone who believes in you and gets you to believe in yourself.

(Lessons you learn in my classes will last a lifetime.)

I focus on two interrelated components that are the essence of one's self-esteem; the real source of self-confidence is self-efficacy and self respect. This experience from my classes is based on the functions of your mind, the method of how you think when you train to make decisions appropriately based on the type of opponent challenging you.

Confidence is not based simply on knowing what to do, but more so on knowing how to do it. Confidence is the component that bestows the power for one to elevate strong conviction in all their executions.

One of the best ways to build confidence in your game plan or to defuse it in your opponent is through developing movement skills.

Of all the physical attributes in martial arts, mobility is the key that makes all the others more effective. Mobility is an essential temporal component necessary to augment the totality of ones technical capabilities and it vitalizes the fighting spirit behind those skills.

Join me to learn and practice the most effective tactically based footwork drills ever to be introduced to fitness enthusiasts or martial artists. Get started working on what all other trainers will be copying in years to come.
Tuition includes a free t shirt
