Does Relson still teach there? Thanks in advance guys.
WELCOME TO THE HG USNDEP05. yes he does.
Holy Lurker alerts!!
Welcome.
I think there are several Main academy guys who post here,
standby and I'm sure they will answer all your questions.
TTT
Relson does teach but its once in a while kind of thing.
Andre Dierzons (not too sure of the spelling) is the current black belt instructor and in charge of the academy. To train with Relson at the main you got to talk to Andre and fill out paperwork/liability with him first.
Relson is usually doing seminars or checking on the other associations on the mainland. When he comes home, its to rest and check on the main academy.
Best shot is to state when you are coming and then I can check with him and or Rhalan to see if he is in town or will be in town and then post back to here, their replies.
Even then its not guaranteed he will be there as most of us know but at least its good to know if he is in town. When he is in town you just got to come everyday and hope he is there.
Let me know.
i thought Ron Shiraki was the head instructor.
junon - i thought Ron Shiraki was the head instructor.
Too bad he isn't...gotta be one of the top guys on my list as one of the most frustrating bb's to roll with.
scratches head & remembers the last time I got demolished by the great Shiraki san
same.
When rolling with the Shiraki, it's best to just curl up into a fetal ball and wait for the end to come.
Relson was there tonight. Relson said he is going to be doing seminars and checking the associations doing promotions and such. He is supposed to be back in Hawaii the week of December 5, 2008.
Ron Shiraki was also there tonight. He was the head instructor at the main for a while, I learned a lot from him. He is awesome but has decided to do other things in his life right now. He is just taking a break from teaching classes for now.
Ron still stops in the various schools from time to time to tap people like there is no tomorrow but he is not the head instructor of the main or Kaneohe. He is a black belt, still the man and a top instructor and competitor.
He is available for private instructions and seminars. He can be contacted via his website.
