looking for a seminar/training opportunity in the USA

Sometime in December or January I'll be leaving the Wado wilderness of northern Thailand for a short family visit in the USA. It would be great if I could combine my visit with a chance to get in a few days of good training. Anywhere in the northeast or northwest would be doable (NYC would be ideal) & my schedule is flexible as long as it's in December or January. I've done some searching for seminars but haven't found anything. So I thought I'd throw this out to the All Wado community. Anyone know of a seminar or other training opportunity I could take advantage of in the US during that period? Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions.

Tyrone Pardue has just moved to Boston so that could be a possibility.

Don't know if he has established a dojo location yet.

Paul,

Come on down to Florida and train with us. It's warmer down here anyway. NYC in January?! Too cold for karate! Ha ha.

If yo make it this far down, you are welcome.

Jay, thanks for the invite but I'm afraid Florida is a little out of my way, at least for this trip. The cold in NY won't bother me... for the week or so I'll be there. Actually it'll be a nice change from Thailand's tropical climate. Having grown up in New Jersey I kind of miss the cold sometimes. Then again after a brief taste of winter I'm sure I'll be glad to get back to Chiang Mai.
