The Kata
series:
These are the true back bone of Shaolin Kempo.The first
four of these forms were created by Sijo Victor 'Sonny'
Gascon in his school in Burbank California directly after
(or possibly before) his separation from Kajukenbo.
Kata 5 and Kata 6 were created by SGM S.
George Pesare in Olneyville Rhode Island in the early
to mid 1960's. SGM Pesare also created a Kata 7 which
he still teaches, but was adapted by Professor Nick
Cerio into 'Circle of the Panther', and the further
adapted by GM Fred Villari into 'Swift Tigers'.
