When was he in Joplin? I live in Springfield, Mo. Does Mr. Speakman attend any other events in the area? I would love to attend one of his seminars if given the chance.

June 4th & 5th for the NCMA annual tounament/banquet and Hanshi Lou Angels celration of 15 years of the NCMA and his 50 years in the martial arts.

I beleive Jeff attends this tounament annually because he is very close to Hanshi. It's my understanding that Hanshi gave him his 1st blackbelt.

I have to tell you, I've heard people talk caca about Speakman but after meeting him and "hearing" him, I know why. He is a good technician and he speaks openly about those in the Kenpo community who he feels have strayed and to top it off he uses a "line" that I like that I adopted from my Sifu Felix Macias Jr.

If someone disagrees he tells them to "show him." Overall he's a nice guy and it was a good experience.
