I wasn’t sure how to put this one up. I’ve had it for a while, but given how enormous the contribution was, I wasn’t sure how to handle it. Robert Fritz is an instructor at Dragon-Phoenix Martial Arts in Chelmsford. While we all endeavor to keep note books (right? I know you do…), sometimes we aren’t as comprehensive as we could be. That’s why it’s great when someone has the discipline to write down every kempo technique (and some animals) they learn. Mr. Fritz sent me a copy, and with his permission, I’m sharing it with you. It’s huge, so he gets his own section of the ‘kempos’ part of the archive. There are naturally some repeats with already published items, but I want to preserve the integrity of the collection as much as possible. First up is the collection he organized by letter. More to follow (on a regular basis). Thanks Bob!
The past year at Kempoinfo.com
Thank you for being a loyal reader (if you are) and if you are new, thanks for stopping by. The past year has been a good one for kempoinfo.com, reaching over 54,000 page views (up over 13%), almost 20,000 visits(up almost 10% from last year), and just shy of 10,000 unique visitors ( also up about 10% from last year).
We’ve added two additional voices to the site, and now host 128 pages of information, 291 blog posts, and 553 discussion comments, most of which cluster around any time Marlon posts one of his observations. We have almost all of the combinations, and the most complete archive of Shaolin Kempo on the web by a long stretch.
That’s not counting the (and I’m not making this up) 8,322 comments that were caught by the spam filter. I’ve only found one ‘false catch’ so far, so if you had a comment that didn’t get through, my apologies.
What’s up for the new year?
A cleaner site: Fewer advertisements. They don’t offset the costs very well, and clutter the page. I’m tired of them. Adios webring, you started hijacking my visitors.
Kempos and lots of them. I was sent a list by Bob Fritz of Dragon-Phoenix kempo, and will be putting them up in groups, probably in a special ‘Bob’ section due to the huge quantity.
More multimedia, new features (as I try to get them set up) and a few surprises.
If there’s something you want to see, of course please use the comment feature as your suggestion box.
Thanks for all the support. This little ‘hobby site’ has really taken on a life of its own.
It’s official, the Iceman has retired
In a not so surprising press conference, Chuck Liddell has announced his retirement. We haven’t heard much from this Kempo legend (out of the Godin-Hackleman lineage) in a while, so I wasn’t too shocked, but I am a little surprised and pleased to find out that he is a new VP for business development for the UFC. Congrats, thanks (for giving kempo some good press) and good luck.
