Matching funds until Friday 5 p.m. for MDA

275307_100000869009117_1847319160_nI’m still working to raise money for the MDA. Anything you can do will help, this week more than usual. All donations will be matched (up to $25000) if received by Friday 5 p.m. by Pride Mobility. Thanks!
I know you know that I am participating in the MDA Muscle Walk this year. My goal is to raise funds to help support the efforts that MDA is advancing through research and day-to-day health care services. I’m sure many of you have been waiting for just the right moment to donate – so here it is! This week, any donations I receive will be doubled by Pride Mobility. They are matching all donations raised, up to $25,000. Please consider joining me in the fight to create a world where muscle disease no longer exists. To make a contribution, please go to my Participant Page and click on the “donate” button.
Thank you for your support!

Another Familiar Yet Different Branch

For those familiar with S.George Pesare’s Kenpo, you probably have seen some of the historical footage he was kind enough to share regarding his early training. That footage was shot in Bill Ryusaki’s yard. Bill Ryusaki went on to run his own organization, and even appeared in Wesley Snipes’ ‘Masters of the Martial Arts’ show. Here are some examples of techniques done by some of his students in Brazil. Look for ones you recognize – I found a few. Again, not Shaolin Kempo, but a close cousin.
