I haven’t found the footage I have of me doing five kata, but Youtube comes to the rescue again. This kid doesn’t do the flying side kick, but it looks pretty much like you would expect five kata to look.

It’s interesting to see the development that takes place when a school is cut off from its original source of information. In this particular case, the school is twice removed, once from the main line of Shaolin Kempo, and again from an offshoot, and has explored both Kyusho and SL-4 kenpo to flesh out their knowledge, creating an interesting frame of reference for techniques. In this clip, David Carnley demonstrates the particular interpretation of combinations 3 and 2 used at the Steiner Academy of Martial Arts.
I got an email from Jim Brassard today. He has a nice video on combination 17 posted to Youtube today. He refers to the old habit of many Shaolin Kempo folks regarding stepping back and shows his interpretation.
