Yeah, I have attended some of Tatsuo Suzukis' seminars. Extremely talented man!

Now we're talking. Personally I don't care whether they are famous (in the movies sense) or not. What is imporatnt to me is whether they are any good.

Bill Wallace was great. I missed the full seminar but I did stretch and talk with him for a while.

Other good ones to attend would be Joe Lewis, Kathy Long and Bram Frank.

I attended a couple of seminars with Remy Presas a while back. Obviously, that was before he died.

I consider the seminars to be a great opportunity to expand your knowlege.

Done a seminar with Leon Jay, son of Wally Jay. Gokor Chivichyan had Manny Gamburyan were together at another seminar I went too. That's about it. Hard to get to famous people in MA from Tennessee. :cry:

Has anyone else here attended one of his seminars or something similar from another high profile martial artist?

I never had the opportunity to train with Superfoot, but I did attend a seminar given by Wally Jay. For some reason he chose me to be his demonstration dummy. I remember being awed at how this little old man could put me in a world of pain (I learned that day the importance of tapping out) with the smallest of movements.

I also had the opportunity to attend a seminar given by Fumio Demura.

As a Goju-Ryu practioner, though, the most awestruck that I've ever been has been training under Morio Higaonna in several IOGKF gassukus and when I tested for my Shodan under Sensei Higaonna in his San Diego area dojo. Maybe that's not as big as a Superfoot or Wally Jay, but to someone in the IOGKF, it doesn't get any better...
