ravenzoom Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 Up here in Canada, especially in the province of Quebec, Nick Cerio's Kenpo is a very popular martial art. I'd like to have some feedback on it. How is it different from other Kenpo schools? Is it street effective? What does it focus on primarily? etc. I've looked all over the forum for some information on this martial art but there seems to be none. Can anyone say something about it. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenzoom Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 So I guess nobody can tell me anything about it, it's probably just known up here in Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red J Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Nick Cerios Kenpo is the real deal. Well known for its street effectiveness, it is a Hawaiin inspired kenpo that is a Kajukenbo derivative. Nick Cerio was a well respected fighter and master. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravenzoom Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 Thanks for the insight, Nick Cerio's Kenpo seems quite interesting from what you say of it. Do you think it could work well with Judo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempohands Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 It would work quite well with Judo. Kempo is an art that often lacks ground work (from what I've seen here on LI) and the grappling work in Judo would be a great compliment to Cerio's Kenpo.

Red J Posted March 8, 2005 Share Posted March 8, 2005 I just finished working out with a guy tonight that is working kempo with Jui-Jitsu. Another guy I train with has seven years in Judo and was a high school wrestler. They certainly bring perspective to the workouts. We do groundwork, but these guys bring a new depth. So yes, it would compliment your training IMO. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leftsideright Posted March 9, 2005 Share Posted March 9, 2005 i agree with wtKempoStudent, Nick Cerio's Kempo is an effective style. I used to live on Long Island and trained in Franklin Square and in Hicksville. I also believe that it lacks the ground work, although in many of my classes, new ground fighting and grappling techniques were taught to us.

Kempohands Posted March 10, 2005 Share Posted March 10, 2005 Did you happen to train in Professor Fescina's schools? He has locations in both those places.

leftsideright Posted March 11, 2005 Share Posted March 11, 2005 Yes, I trained in Professor Fescina's schools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kempohands Posted March 12, 2005 Share Posted March 12, 2005 Cool, Professor Fescina is my master. Did you enjoy training there? "To win a fight without fighting, that is the true goal of a martial artist." -Grandmaster Nick Cerio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
