I was contacted by a reader from Ireland, Jonny Figgis from Hard Target Self Defence Systems (yes, they mean to spell it that way) about some sources for Shaolin Kempo information. We had a great discussion regarding what to do with his material and what if anything he should add. From the sounds of his training, I encouraged him to keep on doing what he was already doing, and here’s why:
They train a limited syllabus (basically the shodan level give or take) and focus on applying it in realistic situations. I pointed to a few folks who he could look up, but really I don’t want to mess up what they are doing – I think they are on the right track. Do what you do well. I can’t wait to see what the future holds for these guys.
