Having known Kelly for several years and had the opportunity to work out with him on several occasions, I'd recommend that anyone who can make this seminar should. He's a good guy with a very solid grasp of Harimau and good stuff to teach. I don't know if I can make it, but I'm going to try - Athens isn't all that far from me. And it'd be cool to meet some other people from here while I'm at it

Thanks for the recomendation Mike. You are more than welcome in Athens and for the cost of the seminar, I think everyone would get their money's worth. I hope to see you there and I can introduce you to some of the OU MMA club.

Absolutely. I'm going to try to make it. I've penciled it into my schedule and, barring unforseen obstacles, I plan on attending

I'll e-mail you when we get closer to the date and let you know for sure and, if I am coming, to get directions. I'm hosting a seminar the weekend before that here in Louisville - if anyone's interested, the info for it's at http://impactacademy.com/seminars/flyers/triple_impact

Part of my ability to attend your seminar depends on how well that seminar does. So, hopefully, it'll do well enough to give me some spare spending money.
