Sensei Frank Shekosky with
Professor Lee Wedlake

Professor Lee Wedlake, a first generation black belt under the “Father of American
Karate”, Mr. Ed Parker, will be conducting another great Kenpo seminar at Cromwell Martial Arts in MIddletown, Connecticut. Join us on March 20, 2010 for this awesome event!

Professor Wedlake started studying Judo in 1967 at the Shindo Kan school in Chicago, IL. In November 1972 he initiated study of Chinese Kenpo at a school in Evergreen Park, IL. He left that school as a Brown belt and was later promoted to first degree Black belt on June 2, 1975 by Michael John Sanders, a Kenpo 5th Dan, of Sterling, IL., who also later promoted him to 2nd Degree Black. After Sanders' death in July 1979, Mr. Wedlake began studying with Edmund K. Parker, "The Father of American Karate," at Pasadena, CA. in November 1979. He was trained by both Parker and Frank Trejo for two years and promoted to third degree in 1981. He was introduced to Richard "Huk" Planas at the 1982 International Karate Championships and studied concurrently with Planas and Parker. Parker, Trejo, Planas and Joe Palanzo promoted him to fifth degree in September 1986 Ed Parker promoted him to his sixth degree on November 19, 1990, approximately one month before Parker's passing. Frank Trejo and Huk Planas promoted him to 7th degree on June 27, 1993. Then, in October 1998 during the annual Kenpo Camp in Ft. Myers, Huk promoted Mr. Wedlake to 8th degree. In Fall, 2006, Mr. Wedlake was promoted to 9th degree. Over the years, Mr. Wedlake has written a series of very insightful books on Kenpo Karate.

- Seminar Schedule -

Session #1 , "Kid's seminar - Great Escapes"
11:00 AM-12:00 PM
The kids get a charge out of learning and improving basics, self defense techniques, drills, and self protective tips. This class will also be lots of fun! ”,

Cost: $19 pre-paid by March 10, 2010, $29 after that date.

Session #2 , "Body Mechanics"
1:00 PM-2:30 PM
details of body mechanics using kenpo techniques and forms. This class emphasizes how your body is designed to work. The intent is to instill knowledge of proper mechanics so as to eliminate or minimize self-injury and prevent premature deterioration, particularly in the joints. Instructors will find this especially useful in developing “an eye” for picking out potential problems in students and being able to correct them. Sometimes we know something is off but not quite what and this should help in identifying the problem and fixing it

Cost: $49 pre-paid by March 10, 2010, $59 after that date.

Session #3, "Freestyle techniques"
3:00 PM-4:30 PM
"Learn the standard freestyle sparring techniques such as B1a or B5aPbk. This is an excellent vehicle to impart the Fighting Theories to Combat Equations taught in our system. These are not widely taught but are a valuable tool in demonstrating the rearrangement principle as well as the eight things you can do to a technique.
Cost: $49 pre-paid by March 10, 2010, $59 after that date.
