Isshinryu_heart Posted May 6, 2006 Share Posted May 6, 2006 I just had a 2-day seminar with Sensei Chuck Merriman. He seemed very knowledgable about karate, and also a really interesting person. Even though he instructs in Goju-ryu and I study Isshinryu, I still learned a great deal from him. We did a comparison of Sanchin kata - the way it is taught in Isshinryu vs. Goju, which was very interesting. He also was at one time the US sparring team coach, so we worked a few drills that he used when he was coaching. I was wondering, has anyone here ever trained with him, and if so what did you think?

Brandon Fisher Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have never had the honor of training with him. I have heard that he is a very good martial artist and teacher. I think it would be a true honor to train with him even for a short period of time like a seminar. Brandon FisherSeijitsu Shin Do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
