The founder of your Art, or a current big name?

[frank raud]

I would love to get the chance to train with Chitose in Chito-ryu and Shimabuku in Isshinryu and Choi in TKD and Mr. Parker in Kenpo.

A good friend of mine did have the opportunity to train with Chitose, mind you he was 10 years old at the time! http://www.perrywkelly.com/pic_chito.html

If you had the opportunity to train with the founder of your Art (assuming time travel was possible in many cases), or a current big name instructor in your Art, who would you choose & why? Don't forget to mention what Art it is in which you train.

I am fortunate enought to train with the founder of my organization in kendo and hapkido, but not the founder of kendo. Taekwondo doesn't have a singular founder, though General Choi is often credited. But seeing as how he is dead, the only travel option is time travel, but I'm waiting on the invention of the necessary mode of transportation.

I cross train at a Jinenkan Taijutsu school, so I'd say that if I could train with anyone that I don't currently train with, Manaka Sensei would top my list, as he's still alive and I have heard wonderful things about him.

Although I don't practice Kenpo or Combat Hapkido, I'd love to train with Chuck Sullivan and GM. Pelligrini. In addition to training bennies, I have a couple of magazines I'd love for them to sign.

I want to add Larry Tatum, Doc Chapel, and John Bishop to my list of those I want to train with.


Having just returned to the Kenpo arts, I am leaning towards those that are in those styles.

Hey Searcher, if you ever make it to SoCal let me know, Prof Bishops school is a stones throw from our school. I'll go down there with you!!
