KIND WORDS
Below are a handful of some of the exceptionally kind words we’ve heard recently. We strive to make the IRMAA seminar get better and better each year. We couldn’t do it without our amazing Ohana & Friends! Oos!
“For the record … I thought that the Seminar was awesome … hugely successful … and more than worth the drive. I also want to thank you SO much for your very generous reaching out to me and your obviously heartfelt inclusion of me into “your” family. The “spirit” present at the Event was palpable.”
- Dr. Frank Allen
“I thought that the seminar went very well. More organized and focused that last year. The variety and quality of presenters/teachers was well done. I really had a good time a learned a little something, too…”
- David Fullen
“…Your seminar was great. Technically speaking. Learning the Gun techniques, speed take downs via striking the throat, and knife take away’s were outstanding …I definitely picked up more than I thought. What a great time. Everyone was top notch…”
- Sifu David Irvine
“Thank you so much for inviting me to your seminar today. I had a great time and hope to see you more often in events to come…”
- Michael D. Park, Sr. Professor and Founder
“…Congratulations on the successful event and thank you for spreading you knowledge upon us.”
- Jeff Brackman
“This past October 20th, IRMAA, and Jay Vera’s International Realistic Martial Arts Association Seminar and Banquet was truly a summit of masters! What a great event to learn from some of the best in the world in realistic street level law enforcement and self-defense professional perspectives. Truly an event that brought together masters of FMA (Filipino Martial Arts) such as Gm Ervin Ballarta and Gm Bill Aranda , Gm Joe Cayer Okinawan ShotoKan of RyuKyu Kempo lineages, AKA Professor Michael Park, KOA president and Kajukenbo Grandmaster Daniel Baker, Sigung Mike Brennan Judo and BJJ Instructors, many, many more! I look forward to the future and expect great things to come from these events. Best wishes and very special thank you to My Friend Jay Vera for all the hard work to grow the Collage of Martial Arts from which the Ohana of Kajukenbo grows and congratulations on a successful year!”
- William Ross, Chief Instructor
