Here’s another helping of Kempos courtesy of Michael Litton. Again, I look forward to schools around the country teaching the ones with such fun and descriptive names. Poor Mikey. Check them out to see why…

I have often felt that AKK has the drawback of being so well defined by its creator that it cannot grow. But that is also a result of hero worship. SKK in these respects is at the opposite end of the spectrum…same result though, imo.

The questions of legitimacy in the arts today severely limits creativity, and in our art the question is larger. SKK is being wonderfully documented by Matt (THANK YOU Master BARNES!!!), yet is this a looking back effort or a launching point to move forward.

Can SKK grow and what will it take to do so legitimately?

Here’s a third set of kempos from Michael Litton’s list. They can be found here. I do love the creative names – who wouldn’t appreciate techniques called ‘doink’ and ‘John Travolta’?
