GM Pellegrini,
I wanted to thank you again for the excellent Combat Hapkido seminar in Richmond, Virginia this past Saturday, October 2nd. It was a great honor and privilege to have trained with you, Masters English and Scali, students, and other practitioners. Master English and his students were excellent hosts, and they are blessed with an outstanding Dojang.
I learned a tremendous amount. Afterwards, I took many notes of the techniques you demonstrated, we learned, and practiced. I trained my children the following day (who I have been training in martial arts for several years). They are 2 boys and 1 girl (ages 6, 7, and 9). They love hapkido and training with their dad. We have our own small dojang in our home where we train, and where I plan to display your photo you signed to me. Thank you again.
I plan to attend future CH seminars, and pass the word among my FBI, Fraternal Order of Police (FOP), and other law enforcement, and martial arts colleagues, on the effectiveness of the system (especially for law enforcement professionals).
Lastly, as you requested, I attached the photo of you and I taken at the Dojang. Please let me know if you have any problems receiving it, and I will re-send it. I look forward to seeing you again, and training with Masters English, Scali, and Rivas in the future.
With great respect and best wishes for the health, happiness, and prosperity of you and your family, and in martial brotherhood,
Joe Strantz
