Roll- Call Hawaiian Kempo folks!

[Dianhsuhe]

I know this forum does not get a ton of activity but I was just curious who frequents this section. The Hawaiian Kempo "umbrella" covers MANY systems so I wanted to get a feel for WHO is in here! LOL

Considering KT is much smaller than MT I am always impressed by the cross-section of the kempo/Kenpo community that is present on kenpotalk!

Anyone?
Bueller?
Anyone?

Only slightly over 4 years. But I read a lot and ask questions. the down side is I can talk about more things than I can do LOL

[Dianhsuhe]

Four years is nothing to sneeze at, you always seem to have a great insight into a wide variety of topics- Good stuff man!

Have a great night!

Oh no! Now I cannot tell everyone in here that I am the Grandmaster of Kara-Ho! LOL

It is great to see you in here Sensei Gene! Your knowledge and experience would be a great asset to KT!

I know you are probably pretty busy on MAP but please do stop in here often- KT is the friendliest martial Arts forum I have come across.

Also, did you see the Professor Chow Memorial info. I posted? Are you going? I am looking forward to it, big time!

Take care and have a great week Sensei!

Yes, I am aware of the memorial come September. I'm looking into trying to get the time off from work. So, if it happens we will be there

[Kempojujutsu]

While I have an Okinawan Kempo background. I have been researching and viewing my Japanese and Hawaiian cousin's. Most recently been viewing the Kajukenbo DVD's of Gary Forbach. I don't have any rank in this art and don't claim any. I do find it interesting and I can see some simliar things in both arts.

[Dianhsuhe]

Kempojujutsu: It is fascinating how many branches of kempo are out there. Amazing to see how many variations there are and how the location and culture affected each art(s).

Sensei Gene: I really hope to see you in September. It is shaping up to be an amazing time!
