I must agree with everyone. It really makes me upset when I see a ten year old walking around with a black belt. In my opinion children should not recieve black belts or anything even close. If it were up to me their would be no belts like the way it was back in the Shaolin Temple. I've seen purple belts beat the tar out of Black Belts. It all depends on the individual's skill level.

Yes my school has received challenges but they were never honorable. The challenges were issued by students of other schools and not from the instructors. My chief instructor didn't even acknowledge the challenge really. He was confident in his success.

To Yoda "It all depends what's available when you go to college - where are you going?" I'm at San Diego State University. Thanks for the effort. Much appreciated. I've been looking into taking BJJ with some sort of Kempo or Kung Fu system. What does everybody think? What forms of Kung Fu and Kempo are best for hand strikes? Thanks again!!!

I had to give up my study of Shaolin Kempo when I moved to college. Since that time I've wanted to study another art. I need one that addresses my love of grappling but at the same time does not neglect the areas of striking which I also find to be important. Basically I want to join a versatile art that is both practical on my feet and on the ground. Any suggestions? Or do I have to mix and match different arts?
