What have you done for Kenpo lately
by Clyde T. O'Briant
If you're a 3rd degree Black Belt or above, what have you done to earn the so-called "political" ranks of 4th and beyond?
1. Are you actively teaching on a regular or semi-regular basis, passing on your knowledge to those that seek it?
2. Have you written any books concerning Kenpo?
3. Have you promoted any tournaments or seminars in order to spread the word of Kenpo? http://www.ltkkacamp.com/
4. Have you developed any training aids that would assist the average Kenpoist to become a better Kenpoist?
5. Have you made any videos that would aid Kenpoists and non-Kenpoists to become interested in Kenpo or it's principles, theories, and concepts?
6. Have any of your contributions to Kenpo been on the national or international level to reach the worldwide scope of Kenpoists and non-Kenpoists alike?
7. Do you head an organization of substanstial numbers and contribute to member's skills thru seminars or correspondence?
8. Have you contributed to the art of Kenpo in any way?
So, here is some food for thought. What have you done for Kenpo lately?
Have a great Kenpo day
