I must be doing something right.

Here’s some ‘feedback’ I got. I must be doing something right.

Who cares? Here you are living all caught up and focused on somebody that died way way back in 1981. Get a life, more important live your life. Mitose is dead and gone & since, chances are you never had the courage to confront the man when he was living you come off as a real yuppie ripping him a new ass now that he’s dead. Move on!

He’s right, while I was in junior high school, and unaware of Mitose’s existence, I lacked the courage to confront someone that I had never heard of.

The shame…

A new voice at Kempoinfo

Posted on November 29, 2009 by matt

I recently asked my friend Marlon Wilson to contribute to Kempoinfo as he has been contributing to the kempo community for quite a while, and that I thought what he was saying was important. He’s been kind enough to start a page here sharing his perspective on kempo.

Besides being a frequent contributor to the blog (videos, ideas, etc.) he was my partner on my shodan test. I feel as if he and I paralleled a lot of experiences since then seeking out additional knowledge to make sense of our Shaolin Kempo background. I think that his path took him different places making his voice an important complement to the blog. Please make him feel welcome.

We’re still nailing down the best way to present his page, but that hasn’t stopped us from getting it rolling. Please check in and comment.

Just like some of the ones I learned when I started.

I was Youtube surfing and stumbled across this video:
[ad#ad-1]

‘Bill’ in this video has nearly the same kempos I had when I first went through the ranks. I’m not totally keen on how they are being done, but the fellow here is in the middle of a test, so he might be fatigued. I have no idea where the red belt falls in the scheme of things.
