What's the difference between all those styles of karate, jujitsu, kungfu........ I've never heard of it but yes with a name like that I would believe that it is a martial art. Neat tricks? What neat tricks? my bad i meant to say if it's a good MA.

The beauty and the value of the samurai sword are chiefly on the excellence of its flawless polish. The blade should never be touched with the hand because it is dangerous and will lead to eventual rusting. The best way to prevent rust is to keep the sword lightly oiled with lightweight oil because the heavyweight oil will soil the interior of the scabbard by causing dust to collect. Apply oil once a month to the sword if it is kept in a salty atmosphere. If in mountainous areas, the sword should applied with oil once every three months. Do remember to wipe off the old oil from the sword with a soft fabric, such as soft tissue before we reapply the oil to the blade. Then, sprinkle special oil-removing powder or talcum powder on the blade surface. After that, wiping off the powder by a clean before apply the light oil to the blade. Please do not use metal polish on the blade or on the metal mountings, especially the guard (tsuba). Finally, the tang should never be polished because it contains vital information about the maker.

i don't know how American Kenpo is like or the difference of American nor Shaolin Kenpo. Maybe you should start a thread asking that

What’s the difference between Tracy, American, or Shaolin kenpo? idk but you still answer my question. have you heard that Shaolin Kenpo Karate is no good?

Oh...so YOU'RE the one that's taking that system~! I knew sooner or later I'd find you! I'm wondering if there would be any simularities between what you do, and what I do, as Shorinryu has strong connections to China, and I believe Shaolin Kempo from about 300 years ago. i'll IM you on Aol and ask you some questions.

I had a sword but sold it away. my friend has a collections of them and has cleaners and polisher along with them. i haven't had any experence with the cleaners but they'll probally help with the rust. here a website that has cleaners, polishers, etc that you can order. http://www.gungfu.com/cart-htm/weapons_weapons_accessories_sword_cleaning_kit.htm

Kenpo is considered by many to be the first eclectic martial art. Its origin evolved from Karate which; according to legend, began over a thousand years ago in China. At the beginning of the seventeenth century two families, Kumamoto and Nagasaki brought knowledge of Kenpo from China to Kyushu in Japan. Modified throughout many years into its current form, it is referred to as Kosho-Ryu Kenpo, or Old Pine Tree school. It is from here that most modern forms of Kenpo are derived. According to modern legend, in 1916 at the age of five, James Mitose was sent from his homeland in Hawaii to Kyushu for schooling in his ancestors' art of self-defense called Kosho-Ryu Kenpo. After completing his training in Japan, Mitose returned to Hawaii. Near the beginning of World War II in 1936, Mitose opened the "Official Self-Defense" club in Honolulu. It was from here that the five major Kenpo influences; Thomas Young, William K. S. Chow, Edmund Howe, Arthur Keawe and Paul Yamaguchi would study and bring Kenpo to the rest of the world. William K.S. Chow adapted Mitose's approach and "Americanized" the art. He is perhaps responsible for the largest leap of Kenpo to the general public. In 1949, Chow opened a school of his own at a local YMCA and referred to his art as Kenpo Karate. i would like to ask you a question that would probaly be a stupid to you. isn't the art of Jeet Kwon Do unfinished?
