And they found me. It’s not my scene, but for any of you who enjoy Myspace, there is a Shaolin Kempo group, with its own discussion forum. I just hope they find the new site soon. I’m not a myspace member, so I didn’t put a post up there to direct them to the new site, since even as of last summer they were still using the old one.
Did you know there was a Shaolin Kempo Group on Myspace?
Bad news in droves, Helio Gracie R.I.P.
[ad#ad-1]
Helio Gracie has passed on to the big tatami mat in the sky. The man who has been the driving force behind BJJ / Gracie Jiujitsu for as long as I can remember passed away today. His family spawned a revolution in the martial arts, and I offer my condolences to his family, students, friends and fans. Thank you for reintroducing us to the importance of the ground game, and rest in peace.

Topic of Grave Concern
Every so often, there is the incredibly sad story regarding a martial arts instructor accused of molesting a student. Here’s another. Innocent or guilty, it’s a black eye for the industry. It affects us (kempo folk) directly as it is a USSD school. How do you handle the risks involved?
This story is probably the tip of an iceberg. What do you do to protect yourself and the kids you work with from situations like this?
Note: this is under discussion at Bullshido and Martialtalk.
