The Kempo / Kenpo FAQ

Mark Urbin stopped by to comment on an article, and I realized that I’ve been remiss in not recognizing one of the seminal Kempo information sources on the web. The Kempo / Kenpo FAQ as maintained by Mark is a comprehensive look at kempo with a pretty unbiased presentation. He updates it regularly and it is certainly worth a read. When I was reading about history on the web, this was one of the sources that inspired me. I have the highest respect for the work he’s put in and the benefit he has given to the Kempo community. Take a look!

Nick Cerios Kenpo Site back up.

John James has finished revamping Nickcerioskenpo.com. Apparently there was a meltdown at the hosting provider a while back and it’s taken a while to get back together. Stop by and take a look – it’s in good shape now and has a lot of information.

What do you know about Self-Defense and the Law?

There’s been a recent discussion on Martialtalk regarding toning down Kempo (Kenpo) techniques, and it branched into a really good discussion of the legal aspects of Self-Defense. Many folks don’t know what constitutes self-defense legally, and very few have looked up their local laws. There are plenty of opinions on the matter. In this case, what you don’t know really can hurt you.
