American Kenpo Karate in Vegas

Larry Tatum's Vegas Camp 2005

Lots of choking, blocking, hitting and other fabulous kenpo things happened at the Tatum Vegas Summer Camp.

There's nothing better than getting in your gi, meeting a group of like-minded individuals and hitting each other a bunch. Gotta love it!

Much karate happened here at camp. Twelve interesting seminars and a lot of learning. We enjoyed demonstrations from Canada, fabulous food and great company.

Kenpo Camp Seminar Pictures

Las Vegas Summer Camp 2004

In June of 2004, we all met in Las Vegas for kenpo fun and much sharing of knowledge.

These are some of the pictures from the First Annual Larry Tatum Las Vegas Summer Camp. Amy Long and Cal (don't know his last name) tested for their black belts. Cal is from Canada.





The awards banquet was fun. People dressed up and looked fancy and awards of recognition were given to all the instructors. Juan Serrano was one of the instructors, as was Darryl Liner.

There is a group shot of all the instructors as well as a group shot of the brown belt class -- this one taught by Patrick Kennedy, who came from Ireland to share his knowlege.






After the test, several black belts struck a pose. Typical kenpoists -- hams to the core.
Amy and Cal buddy up, as well as Amy with her instructor right after the test.

Since Amy is the one who put this blog together, naturally, she's in a lot of these pictures. Amy and Billy Lear take a few moments of rest between seminars.
