Independent Shaolin kempo Organization

 

Hey everyone! I was looking on the net for shaolin kempo teachers in California and I thought why don’t all the Villari-Ussd breakoff schools get together once or twice a year and train, test,seminars,share marketing ideas. We could make it no monthly due fee’s or black belt manuals to buy, just pay for your test’s and seminars,training. Once you start nickel and dimeing people to death the greed just gets worse and your instructor’s leave and start there own organization.This what I believe happened to Ussd and Villari’s and countless other karate organizations.No head of the organization just shaolin kempo teachers getting together(no dictator telling us what to do)In the next year or so I will be opening my own Dojo even though I will be teaching Ed Parker’s kenpo I would like to add a Shaolin Kempo classes as well.What do you guys think? 

 

 My questions are: Can it be done? Not just in California, but nationwide? Worldwide?Should it be done?Somewhere between the Kajukenbo Hui and group meetings for agoraphobics.

I got a message last night:  

Hey Matt. What happened to the video for Stature of the Crane? I just sent one of my students here to check it out for review and it’s gone.   

 

I must have missed that one when I transfered. It’s fixed now.

 

 

 

It’s still at the old one too. Thanks for the heads up, Andy!  If anyone finds anything else missing, please let me know.

Grab Techniques from Nebraska

David Carnley, student of Shawn Steiner, sent in a collection of grab techniques from the curriculum of Christopher N. Geary’s system. I’ll eventually find a more permanent home for them, perhaps in the grab section, but for now here’s a look at one way to teach grabs.   Thanks Dave!

Hi Matt, I wanted to share some info with you about grab defenses in our school. In addition to the grab defenses, we also train a couple of lock flows that incorporate grab releases and chin-na locks and counters. I’m curious if any of these grab techniques appear in Combos that we don’t train.
