An excellent article on the value of training with people from outside of your school.

Training with other people can open our eyes to different methods and ideas.
Some instructors and associations discourage, or even forbid, students from training elsewhere.

Every technique has a counter, and every counter has a response. One of the things I appreciated most about Master Eric King's instruction was his emphasis on thinking beyond the initial technique and preparing for what happens next. That's the difference between learning moves and understanding the art.

One of the highlights of the seminar was Master Eric King's practical instruction on defending against an opponent armed with a stick. Rather than relying on flashy techniques, he focused on proper positioning, timing, control, and simple movements that can be applied under pressure. Expert instruction rooted in real-world application.

What a fantastic afternoon of training!

A huge thank you to Master Eric King of Art In Motion Karate for an outstanding Modern Arnis seminar at Generations Taekwondo. His knowledge, charisma, energy, and ability to engage students made this one of the most enjoyable and valuable seminars we've hosted.

Over three hours, we trained practical footwork, striking, defensive applications with the stick, knife work, timing, angles, and movement. Every drill was packed with real-world concepts that challenged students of every experience level while keeping the training fun and engaging.

One of the things that stood out most was Master King's ability to break down complex techniques into practical, easy-to-follow instructions that everyone could apply immediately.

We are incredibly grateful to everyone who attended and helped make this seminar such a success.

It would be an honor to welcome Master Eric King back for another seminar. If you missed this one, you'll definitely want to join us next time.

Thank you again, Master King, for sharing your decades of experience and passion for the martial arts. We all walked away as better martial artists because of it.
