Private Dojo Testimonial!
Larry,
I remember you answering one of Annette's questions at the end of a
seminar about what Annette and I call, "our Kenpo low". From what I
remember, you said that we may have reached a plateau in our Kenpo
and we would move on to the next level. Well, that is what the PD is
helping me do. :-) Also, one particular line in Compressed Knowledge
jumps out to me... "For some studying Kenpo starts shedding light on
what they thought was reality but really was an "ideal phase" of
their thinking. Selective reasoning." This is how Kenpo has changed
my life but never knew how to put it into words.
