How many and differances in Shaolin Kempo

[Mariachi Joe]

It was great, I had room/board while I got my GED, HS Diploma, a technical trade, and they paid for my first year of college. Family did have much money, so without Job Corps I don't know how I would have gone to college.

Thanks Hand Sword, I appreciate that. Now that your not doing SKK, what style are you learning?

 

[Hand Sword]

None. I haven't chambered a punch or flamingoed a kick in almost 6 years. Fighting, thats a whole nother story LOL.

There is a Martial Arts Festival in Disneyland in February of 06 that I'm planning on going to. On the form it asks what style of ma I practice and I'm not sure what to put down, Karate, American Kenpo, or Kajukenbo cause I'm pretty sure it's not traditional Chinese Kung Fu like my instructor thinks. Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

 

[Hand Sword]

You mean Feb. of 07? 06 passed already LOL! Whatever style you practice will be fine to put down.

I'd put down Kempo Karate. Neutral, but correct.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

My options are:
American Kenpo
Classical Karate
Traditional Kung Fu
Judo
Tae Kwon Do
Savate Filipino MA
Kajukenbo
Open Karate
Brazilian Jujitsu
Jujitsu
I've narrowed it down to American Kenpo, Kajukenbo, or open karate.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

Right sorry Feb-07, thanks Handsword.

 

[Hand Sword]

Open Karate will do since there is no choice for Kempo. The Kempo we're talking about is a derivitve of Kajukenbo, but is now a seperate style. American Kenpo is Ed Parker's way.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

I figured it wouldn't be American Kenpo, thanks Handsword I'll send in the forms for open karate. The festival should be great besides the competion Ed Parker Jr is doing a clinic and there is a fastest punch competion open to all participants.

 

[Hand Sword]

That's a treat! To see Ed Parker Jr. doing a clinic? Film if you can.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

I'm taking a camera, hopefully they let me film it, if not I'll still enjoy the clinic and share the experience here.

Cool, but, when he's talking, focus on taking notes (bring a paper and pen) and remembering! It will be very detailed stuff!

 

[Mariachi Joe]

I will, thanks for the advice Handsword.

 

[Mariachi Joe]

Well gentlemen it's fun and educational, have a goodnight.

Mariachi Joe, are you planning on doing the rest of the animal tests? Sorry to go back to that, but for some reason that whole subject has been on my mind all weekend.

Will it be a clinic on painting and illustration?

if these are different divisions of the tournament they may have different rules for the sparring matches. You might want to look at those rules to decide which most closely matches the type of sparring you have trained for.

I think it's a clinic?

Hand Sword- That's out of respect to an honorable person! Too bad that is lacking in this world now, especially in the MA world, where Honor and Respect are supposedly taught.

I respect my instructor, a few months ago I was going through some rough waters and the guy never heckled me for money but instead took the time to listen and be a friend. Even if I leave ussd later on I'll won't forget his kindness. That's why I'm honoring our verbal agreement. Problem is my instructor charges me less than he does the other students and he told me the higher ups accepted it but that once the two years are up I have to pay what the other students pay which is upwards of $200/month. No way I can afford that so that's why I'll probably leave when my two years are up.

Hey joe,
I found a villari-ussd breakoff in utah www.shaolinarts.com
I bet their a lot cheaper than ussd.
