I like that video. I'm glad it is out there for us to see how things were done 'in the day'.

Thanks for reminding me that it's out there.

Agreed very impressive. The forms look very Okinawan it terms of flow. It is good to see circle of tiger and circle of leopard done by Prof.Cerio, at least part of them. One of his self defense techniques looked very much influenced by Prof.Chow and # 28 does have and ending!!!
thank you very much for this.

BTW i would like to point out that despite everything else, this is the person who trained Fred Villari and trained him to at least shodan...back in the way of the day.

respectfully,
Marlon

I know very little about Mr. Cerio. He certainly was physically impressive. Those stretched out full body fingertip pushups are unreal.

i can see from that video why his reputation is held in such high regard and why he was so respected in and out of the kenpo community.

Yes, you really can, much more so than in the "Kenpo Hands" videos. hardly looks like the same person!

Did he create Cerio No Combo, because i learned that, for those of you who might not know, Cerio No Combo, i believe into a semi direct translation, is Cerio's first form, or something like that, it is a kata preformed with a staff.
