Somewhat, I trained in a school (about 12 months) that broke away from them over teaching differences, but they kept the same or similar curriculum. They follow the Godin, Chow, Mitose line. From what I remember, Godin and Ed Parker both trained under Chow.Anyone familiar with the Universal Kempo Karate style/organization? I discovered a nearby school that teaches. I only have Japanese Karate experience and know very little about other styles, let alone Kempo.
