jakeandsade Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 I am a Provisional Black Belt in Kwon Shu and I will tell you that this is one of the funnest martial arts I have ever taken!! It may just be my instructor but I have learned so much when it comes to self-defense and It has been really great, I hope everything is going well with you and your dad in this style of karate.

Stlthofnight Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 What does it mean by provisional Black Belt? I'm not familiar with that term...

Traymond Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 This is all I could find on it. I'm thinking it is streight up Kenpo, or a mix of 3 styles. Kenpo I think is american, and I think this has Japanese influence and chinese as well. I've been watching Kenpo videos and it doesnt fit what were learning that much so I'm pretty confused. When I go back to my next session I'll be sure and ask my Instructor.Here is the link. http://daveyclose.tripod.com/what.html'It always makes me suspicious when people mangle languages. "Kwon Shu" sounds like korean or maybe cantonese? "karate" is Japanese. Why not pick a language and stick to it? Either Kenpo Karate or Chuan Fa Kong Soo Dao or Kwon Shu Dang Soo Do? Or just "Super American Karate" or something?If it is an okinawan language then is had some chinese influence in it as well. If you take chinese arts and Okinawan arts then why not use both languages it shows much more discipline then just using one, iMO that is.
