tigerclaw2 Posted August 23, 2005 Author Posted August 23, 2005 Heres one that split from mattera shaolin kempo arts https://www.delmarmartialarts.com its run by 4th degree black belt joey larocque. Dont know why he left USSD?
kungfufist3 Posted August 30, 2005 Posted August 30, 2005 Heres one that split from mattera shaolin kempo arts https://www.delmarmartialarts.com its run by 4th degree black belt joey larocque. Dont know why he left USSD?Probabley the same reson evryone leaves matteras ussd org. Maybe there not getting good training? Not getting promoted for lack of numbers-students? Maybe he didnt like charging $175 a month for classes and he wanted it to be affordable to evryone?California is littered with mattera breakoffs just like boston is full of villari breakoffs.
tigerclaw2 Posted August 30, 2005 Author Posted August 30, 2005 Check out https://www.losaltoskarate.com its run by master ren leffew a 5th dan. he trained with villari and this where he's different than most martial artist he mixes ed parkers kempo with shaolin kempo. He studys with larry tatum a 10th degree. I wish more instructors would cross train and mix other styles in there curriculum.
kungfufist3 Posted September 7, 2005 Posted September 7, 2005 Thats what everyone should do is cross train and incorporate it in their system.And I hate it when ignorant instructors say my masters the best but I've never studied with anyone else to back that up but my masters the best pieriod.
