Matt Barnes' Kempo Page

Al Cunningham has posted some descriptions of the combinations he learned in 1970 in his forum. It's an interesting read. This is at the forum formerly known as NE martialtalk.

Jim Brassard was kind enough to send me an email this morning to let me know that he put a video of Combination #68 up on youtube. I did a write up based on the video, and it's now in the archive.

There is a thriving discussion in a thread at martialtalk regarding the combinations. Many folks are contributing their interpretations of the combinations - it's great to see. Check it out if you haven't already. I wish I had time to participate, but updating this site takes up most of the spare time I have for 'internet play'.

Kosho and Marlon Wilson have posted descriptions of combination #60 to the 'Shaolin Kempo Technique Archive' thread at martialtalk, so we now have two (pretty close) variations. Also, there are some video segments linked at youtube based on combo's #5 and #8. They are not me, but they bring up some good points.

Fnorfurfoot from martialtalk has provided combination #59 for us, and there are more on the way. Thanks again to everyone who has supported the technique archive.

'kosho' from Shaolin Kempo Training Center in Orange, MA has provided combination #81, and I finally put up the basic eight point blocking systems from Ben Gawiser.

'Gufbal1982' a former USSD instructor has graciously provided the Twelve Hands of the Tiger blocking system. Thanks, and let's enjoy the new section. More material coming soon - the other blocking systems, forms, clubs, knives, etc.

Thanks for sharing and for using the archive.

Quick edit:Thanks to Marlon Wilson and James Reilly, we now have combination #73, #42, #43 and fixed a typo that made me think we had two versions of #43 (it was actually, #44).

Thanks for your continued support.

It seems that I needed to re-register to keep my mailform working. I have done so, so the contact form should be working again. I apologize for any inconvenience. I have several things that have been submitted as of late, so I hope to get them posted shortly.

Thanks for your patience.
