Congratulations to Connery Cepeda, Oakland Kenpo Karate's first promotion. Connery was promoted to yellow belt on October 21, and has been studying privately with Gary since June. Oakland Kenpo Karate also welcomes Chris Butner back to Kenpo-land after a two-year hiatus. Chris is a purple belt who studied under George Calvillo, and came to the East Bay after finishing his college degree in finance.
Also, thank you to Brian Kane, who came to the East Bay for graduate school and began looking for workout partners. Brian is a 2nd Brown who studied several martial arts styles, and is returning from a long hiatus. As life moved along, Brian studied under some great Kenpo instructors: Andy Smith, Bryan Hawkins, Jeff Speakman and Tony Martin. We'll see how it all fits together, but suffice it to say, there is now American Kenpo in the East Bay.
Oakland Kenpo Karate classes are currently held Mondays and Wednesdays from 5 to 6 at the Kaiser Center Rooftop Garden in Oakland. Connery and Chris are students, while Brian joins Gary as a workout partner. Brian will sit in on classes as possible. A permanent, indoor venue remains in the works. Stay tuned.
