Matt DeLuzio, one of Dominick Violante’s students was kind enough to send me combination 97 ages ago, even pointing out where it occurs in Sho ton Kwok, and I hadn’t put it up yet. It’s in now (apologies, Matt) and it prompted me to update the ‘What we have -what we need’ page, and I found that we now have 93 of the combinations, and need only 15. So, with that in mind, if anyone has these:
Need (15 total): 79,82-84,86,91,92, 95,98,99,104-108
Please send them in. Thanks!
Justin Terrien of Swansea Karate has posted a treasure trove of kempo on Youtube. As an example, he’s posted combinations 15, 22,43 and 47.

He also posts montages of kempos or belt techniques, and bunkai from the forms. I’ll definitely be featuring more of these.
I’m not usually one to trumpet anything of Christopher Geary’s, but he has done a service by hosting a .pdf of James Mitose’s trial transcript. If you don’t currently have a copy and are a historian, it’s a must read. So, without further ado, make it a point to download a copy. Right click (on windows) or control click (on a mac unless you have a multi-button mouse). Caution – it’s a 200MB download. Make sure you have time. I found it to be absolutely captivating reading. I paid big bucks for my copy back in the olden days. Hooray for technology.
Edit – the transcript link is dead, but I put up a new one with this post.
