Travels?
In 1985, my wife and I were invited to be Diplomats representing Texas Chiropractic College teaching laser beam acupuncture and spinal manipulations in Chinese hospitals in Beijing, Shanghai and Xian. We also on this trip went to Tokyo and Osaka, Japan and Hong Kong.
In Tokyo, I was invited to visit the Kodokan, because I am a Black Belt instructor of Black Belts in Judo, Karate and several other martial arts called Shito-ryu Karate and Savate French Foot Fighting. Over the last 30 years I have taught these classes. I spent 19 years and 7 months teaching Karate and Judo to the highway patrol, private citizens, and the US Navy Seals and Marine Corp for hand to hand combat. I spent 3 years teaching in Hollywood, CA at the Bruce Tegner studio on Sunset Blvd. I was asked to be in the movie, Our Man Flint, and skydive with Bruce Tegner in a fighting scene, but it turned out they decided to cancel that scene and have Bruce open the film with a short Karate demo instead. So the owner of the Hollywood tv station was a student at the Tegner school at 5910 Sunset Blvd, where I was an instructor, and he had me demonstrate on a weekly TV show teaching self defense techniques.
In 1986, we traveled to Aruba for a seminar with Dr. Victor Frank, DC on Total Body Modification and Neuro Pathway Techniques, restoring function in the pathways on the the motor nerve between the brain the the body and the sensory nerves from the body to the brain. So that we could teach the muscles to hold vertebra adjustments stable, resulting in only one or two treatment, instead of multi treatments that are required through chiropractic techniques. This results in a quick fix and more stability as the muscles hold the bones in place, even when the vertebra has been traumatized by injury.
Currently, we travel often to Seattle area to visit our oldest daughter, California to visit our oldest son's family, and Nashville, Tennessee to visit our youngest daughter and family and youngest son and family, plus numerous other relatives who live there. I work on some of the country music entertainers while I am there. It is one of our most favorite places to visit.
Another place our travels have taken us is to Florida. Our daughter, Melinda lived in Daytona Beach, so while there, we saw Orlando with it's Disney World attractions and NASA and St. Augustine. Our favorite place in Florida is Sanibel Island where we plan to return to this year for a visit.
We also love North Carolina, where Sally's family is from and attend her Family Reunions in Clifton, North Carolina area. We plan to visit the Cape Hatteras Lighthouse this summer as we enjoy lighthouse hopping, and Biltmore House in Asheville, NC, also Grandfather Mountain nearby.
