Six Kata is one of S. George Pesare’s contributions to the Shaolin Kempo system. The version in this video is one from one of the offshoots (probably a Villari offshoot). It’s interesting because it breaks the pattern established in Kata 1-5 of the cross block (right foot out at elbows) opening and moves to a more explosive accelerating / decelerating movement style. We have a couple of other videos available. Check them out to see the variety of ways this form can be done.
Six Kata – another view.
Did you know there was a Shaolin Kempo Group on Myspace?
And they found me. It’s not my scene, but for any of you who enjoy Myspace, there is a Shaolin Kempo group, with its own discussion forum. I just hope they find the new site soon. I’m not a myspace member, so I didn’t put a post up there to direct them to the new site, since even as of last summer they were still using the old one.
Bad news in droves, Helio Gracie R.I.P.
[ad#ad-1]
Helio Gracie has passed on to the big tatami mat in the sky. The man who has been the driving force behind BJJ / Gracie Jiujitsu for as long as I can remember passed away today. His family spawned a revolution in the martial arts, and I offer my condolences to his family, students, friends and fans. Thank you for reintroducing us to the importance of the ground game, and rest in peace.
