Thanks for your support – this site is useless without readers.
Mark Urbin stopped by to comment on an article, and I realized that I’ve been remiss in not recognizing one of the seminal Kempo information sources on the web. The Kempo / Kenpo FAQ as maintained by Mark is a comprehensive look at kempo with a pretty unbiased presentation. He updates it regularly and it is certainly worth a read. When I was reading about history on the web, this was one of the sources that inspired me. I have the highest respect for the work he’s put in and the benefit he has given to the Kempo community. Take a look!

Here’s an example of the Muay Thai point of view.
