Frequently Asked Questions
1. What is "Shaolin Kempo" ?
Shaolin Kempo is a style of martial arts, it is a
combination of Okinawan Karate, 5 Animal
Kung Fu, Jiu-jitsu and Kempo. Various
aspects of the different arts were combined together
to create a superior system for defending yourself in many situations, as opposed to the
more
stringent aspects of each system separately. A good physical definition
of "Shaolin Kempo
Karate" is: effective multiple strikes (linear, angular, circular)
off a moving base with simult-
aneous manipulations of your opponents upper and lower body masses, while maintaining a
position of strength relative to your current environment.
(for more information see Shaolin Kempo
History)
2. What is the difference between Kempo and Kenpo ?
Both arts rooted from the same seed. However they
have evolved differently. Up to the later
part of this century the difference was more of a "Transitional Glitch", however
today there
are some significant differences. "Kempo" is usually
associated with "Professor Chow" and
his subsequent lineage. "Kenpo" is usually associated
with "Grandmaster Parker" and his
subsequent lineage. It is interesting to note that "Master Mitose"
used Kempo and Kenpo
interchangeable when he spoke of his families art form.
3. Am I too old ?, Am I too out of shape?, Have no time to
Train ?
The only person you compete against is the person you were
yesterday. You progress at your
own pace and do what you feel comfortable with. Saying your too old!, Too out of
shape! and
have no time are great excuses if you are looking for an excuse. Remember "A
journey of a
thousand miles begins with a single step". (for

5. How safe is it to use my credit card for
purchasing Merchandise on-line ?
A credit card is your best defense on the Web, The importance
of keeping a credit card
number confidential has been drummed into consumers' head for years. So it's no
surprise
some people fear their credit card number are vulnerable in cyberspace. But
that belief is
unfounded. When it comes to buying products on the internet, the credit
card is the best
method of payment because it provides the most protection to the consumer if
something
goes wrong. Federal law guarantees that cardholders are
liable for only the first $50.
in fraudulent charges if the number falls into criminal hands- though
there are no reported
incidents of numbers being grabbed en route at an on-line store.
"It could happen, but I
think you're relatively safe," says William Perez,
coordinator of the white collar crime
program of the FBI. Criminals are more apt
to target databases filled with credit card
numbers. "That's where the pot of gold is, " adds
Perez, It's best to stick with retailers
that have SECURE SITES. "When you don't know
who you are dealing with, use a
credit card", says David Medine, a Federal Trade Commission official.
