I'm looking for a Kenpo/Kempo schools in New York City ? Prefereable in Kosho Ryu Kempo. But if there's other is fine... And prefereable in Manhattan, but doesn't matter that much if it's in another location but at least inside of NYC. Manhattan, Bronx, Queens, or Brooklyn are the boroughs I can get to .

Thanks in advance

You might want to check out Robert Somma's Bronx Kenpo Karate Academy. I believe he is on E. Tremont Aveneu. He is one of Mr. John Sepulveda's students.
Take care

E. Tremont far from Manhattan :(

Bad neighborhood too :mad:

Manhattan is a little tiny bit safer than Bronx.

Harlem, UPTOWN all bad parts of manhattan, bronx = most of it.

Hey Shinryu,

Me and some friends will be in New York in a couple of weeks for the start of a trip, and we're staying at the Skyline Hotel, which it says on the website is "Located in Mid-Manhattan's West Side", is that a bad area?

The actual address is:

Skyline Hotel
725 Tenth Avenue at 49th Street
New York, New York 10019

I'd rather know now that when I get there!

Thanks,

Ian.

hmm, this should probably be a PM really, oh well I've typed it now...

hEY nO PROBlem...

Mid-town is not a bad area. Not at all.

But I don't know about that specific place, anything from 100street and up starts getting bad, the baddest in manhattan is harlem. or 100street-155 is the worst, i live in 171street, but theres lots of drug , that's what you'll see.

Thanks, I saw the Kenpo directory, wow I didn't know NY has such little Kenpo schools, maybe there's Kempo :shrug:

2 schools of those are far,
and the 1st one, is private ? too expensive i'd say then.

Private doesn't always mean expensive (right, Mr Farmer?).
Call him up, the worst that will happen is that you can't afford it.
The best is a long developed relationship!

Bronx Kenpo Karate Academy.

Mr. Somma is a good friend of mine and is very knowledgeable about the art of Kenpo. He has been a student of Mr. Sepulveda since around 1992 or so.

I understand the Bronx is tough, but that's what makes Mr. Somma's classes unique. He incorporates real world knowledge into his teaching. If nothing else go check him out.

Does anyone know if Mr. Somma's school is still in operation? I haven't been able to find anything online about it.
