June 2, 200719 yr So I did some investigating and I found out just exactly what style of kempo my school teaches. It is a blend of Shaolin Kempo and American Kempo. I'm not sure though how I feel about this. I don't know if I should be excited to learn a blend of both, or feel kind of cheated because I'm not learning one true form of kempo. Anybody got any thoughts on this???

June 2, 200719 yr Author Yea...that is a very good point. When I think about it too, everything I have learned doesn't seem like a waste of time at all. It is worth learning. Thanks.
June 2, 200719 yr I agree. What you should concern yourself with is 1) is it effective, and 2) do you enjoy it. Those are the only things that should concern you, really. https://www.haysgym.com http://www.sunyis.com/ https://www.aikidoofnorthwestkansas.com

June 3, 200719 yr I agree. What you should concern yourself with is 1) is it effective, and 2) do you enjoy it. Those are the only things that should concern you, really.I agree 100%. Its also important for those just starting out in martial arts to clearly define their goals. Once you know what you want to achieve, its alot easier to work out what type of training will best help you reach these goals.
June 8, 200719 yr Many mixed styles are excellent. Just go in, give it a try, then make your decision.bat Being a shodan is about learning what you DON'T know about what you know.
June 8, 200719 yr Yeh, I def. think that the most important thing is what you get out of the class. some of the this style/that style of MA is silly and we forget that the most important thing is what we walk away with at the end of the day.

February 27, 200818 yr Well i think its great that your learning a blend , mixing it up is very healthy. I think that there is no 1 style , and that to truly become a great martial artist and person you must take information from where ever you can.
