Morning,I just wanted to drop a line and say how lucky those are who are located in the Atlanta area. I have the first series of the DLP as well as the Foundation DVDs and while they are an excellent source of material, I find that having access to a Guru in the system is invaluable. Despite my background and experience in Wing Chun, which lends itself well to AKTS, I still find myself making simple mistakes regarding the training and movements. While I am sure that I would be able to resolve these errors over time with much practice, I feel my progress is accelerated by having a Guru to train with who can offer insight and correct my mistakes before they are compounded. There are so many things which one also needs to experience which are hard, if not impossible, to explain in words. While one can see the end result in the videos, there is nothing like seeing things like power generation demonstrated in person. It is encouraging to know that the end result can be obtained by following the direction found on the DLP tapes. I am fortunate to be only 1 1/2 hours away from Guru Derric who not only has the knowledge and skill but a great personality as well. In addition to the AKTS, Guru Derric opens his home to my children, whom I bring with me when I train. Being a single parent, not having to find a babysitter for Saturday mornings is also appreciated. In my opinion, Guru Derric personafies not only the skill but the morals and ethics of AKTS!! I would encourage anyone who is in the area, or just visiting, to take advantage of the chance to train with Derric. I believe you will not be disappointed. Peace,Dave

Hello Elijah,I regret that I will be unable to attend the training in Colorado. Unfortunately, my finances and my status as a single parent will prevent me this time, but there is always next year. I recently was awarded custody of my three girls and now that this is out of the way I am taking them to visit with their mother. I will be bringing them back to Georgia the first week of July. However, I wish you all the best and am confident that one day I will get to meet others and learn from their experience in the art. Besides, I always wanted to visit Colorado
