Thanks to Ten Tigers Martial Arts we now have videos linked for most of the combinations through #40, with particularly good coverage from 20-40. It’s actually easier to list the ones that we don’t have: #1,10, 11,13,16,19, 20,22,26,30, and 32. Above 40, we also have 41, 42 and 52. What a great start!

Speaking of YouTube, one of our contributors has posted a treasure trove of old Kempo videos including  an old eminar with Fred Bagley and another with John Fritz. Drop in on his YouTube page and check out all the great historical footage.

Ten Tigers Martial Arts in Las Vegas has put quite a number of techniques (including combinations) up on video on their YouTube homepage. I’ll be linking specific videos to their written descriptions in the archive soon. I emailed Sensei Michael Hamm (chief instructor) to ask about using the videos and he was very gracious about it. Additionally, if you are in the area, he will be hosting Professor Kimo Ferreira for a seminar this spring which will certainly be great chance to get in touch with ‘roots’ Kempo. I look forward to the chance to work with him as he works with my teacher. On the video page there’s a ‘teaser’ clip that shows a little sparring – it does my heart good to see them actually hitting each other. I know it’s only a clip, but I thought that was a good sign.
