New Section – Club Techniques

Out of the same 1998 manual come the club techniques, although again, I teach them differently now. They do give an example of ‘typical’ Shaolin Kempo club material however, so they are included in the archive.

I also took the liberty of reorganizing the site a bit. Some of the sidebars had become ridiculously long. Hope it works for everyone.

Milestone of sorts

As I was watching the most recent changes to the site get published, I realized that it was taking a bit longer these days to complete the upload. That’s because the site now spans over 50 individual pages. The archive has really taken on a life of its own, as it now contains:

88 combinations
47 Kempos (with maybe some overlap)
39 Animal techniques
10 knife techniques

and 10 blocking systems. That’s about 184 self defense techniques, and we’re not done yet. I’d like to thank all the folks who’ve contributed, or even just sent feedback. Every one of you has really made this worthwhile for me. Thanks for being along for the ride.

New Section – Knife Techniques

After much searching, I found the files for a 1998 manual I typed up for the dojo. I’ve grabbed the knife techniques out of it, although we don’t teach knife defense in that manner any more. I figured it was a good example of ‘typical’ Shaolin Kempo knife defense.
