Hello,

Does anyone know if there is a website (or other contact information) about the AIKKA? The only websites I can really find are La Tourrette's websites peddling his tapes.

That's his organization. Could you mean the AIKIA (Jerry Beasley's org.)?

Oh I know its La Tourrette's group, but I can't find anything about the group itself. Only his retail pages.

I posted this over on KT but....

As far as I know Mr. La Tourette is no longer actively teaching. I spent a year under him a long time ago. He school named Southern Oregon Self-Defense was sold to Robert Hisamoto a number of years ago. It was renamed Samurai Fighting Arts. It teaches more of a MMA than Kenpo anymore. I remember Amy saying that she looked at there requirements over a year ago and said she only recognized about three techs in the whole system.

As for La Tourette, I am not sure what he is doing in his "retirement". I will have to ask around.

His retirement seems to involve teaching people psychic powers.
