Greetings

[tarabos]

New here, just wanted to say hello first instead of just jumping into a thread. I used to post sometimes on the old yahoo kenpo board. I recognize some names here from it. Looking forward to some good discussions.

Welcome aboard. You'll find we've got a ton of Kenpo talk here.

:asian:

 

[tarabos]

That was a quick reply...good to see there's a good amount of activity on these boards. From the looks of it, there's quite a lot. Good stuff.

 

[arnisador]

Welcome aboard! I notice Systema in your profile--be sure to check out our Russian Martial Arts forum as well.

 

[tarabos]

yes...i noticed the russian martial arts board. very nice. there are a lot of good resources here. i'm glad it was brought to my attention.

I notice a lot of the kenpo people here are employed in some way in the computer field, is this the new trend? Kenpo logic - computer logic, are they the same?



:asian:

 

[tarabos]

i don't really consider myself a computer guy even though i work on one all day. i consider myself and artist...a designer. and i've been studying kenpo before getting into my proffession. just a coincidence i suppose. plus, people who use computers a lot are probably more likely to show up on a forum like this since they are more computer literate than most people. that said, i'm really getting off the kenpo topic here...

 

[Klondike93]

Are you still doing Systema or just Kenpo?


:asian:

 

[tarabos]

my systema experience is admittedly very limited. i only know what has been shown to me through others who have left kenpo for the most part to do systema. i've enjoyed what i've been shown but it's nowhere near enough to say that i have officially trained in the style. i am thinking of joining up with a few friends that do it to work the stuff some more, particularly the knife work. so to answer the question, kenpo is still my main style, probably always will be for the most part. i don't want to sound like i'm getting tired of kenpo here though...far from it. right now it's tough for me because of lack of training partners, so i do my best with my workouts and what not, and just keep plugging away.

tarabos,

I looked, but I can't find kennett square on a map (online).
How far are you from Pittsburgh?

Glad you're here, just keep your eye out fot the "Goldendragon!" He's luking around here somewheres!

pittsburg is a pretty good hike for me. kennett square is pretty small, the only claim to fame it has it that it's the mushroom capital of the world, and we also have logwood gardens. it's about 20 minutes or so from delaware, about 45 minutes south of philly.

Actually, it's Dennis Conatser, not connaster.

Don't worry about it though, he's used to people making that mistake. These days he hardly ever kills anyone over it.

It's the same living in England with a French name. (Grihault)

The English can't say it or spell it.
