I am currently performing a weapons Kata utilizing the form of Chong Moo which I have had alot of on-lookers and numerous compliments by various Black Belt Judges. Course utilizing the Chong Moo form, I had to make up my own sword handling techniques to go along smoothly with this form and also add the flash that the judges always seem to like. Early errors i encountered was getting to close to the judges after my flying side kick and swinging a stainless steel Katana sword with a 29 1/2 inch blade will irk the judges really fast, So if you planning to use something like this make sure you do as I do now and that is to measure your distance when you start off using this form with weapons so as not to get to close to the judges after landing the flying side kick. My style of Karate is American Freestyle.

Actually Keichu is a style founded by Karl Marx in New Orleans, La. and is sometimes referred to Cajun Karate. Sensei Marx has his own Dojo now in Calif. and his students compete in the USKA. My sensei use to teach Keichu here in Louisiana.

My style is called Kenson-Ryu. It involves a mixture of styles such as Keichu, Shotokan. TKD, Judo, Jiu-Jitsu. and Aikido. It's hard work and lots of bruises, But myself and my little brother love it.
