Other
Forms:
This section is for forms that appear in some (or even
most) Shaolin Kempo schools, but don't fit into the other
categories. As video and writeups become available, pages
will be added.
Statue of the Crane: This one appears in
the standard Shaolin Kempo curriculum. It was added by GM
S. George Pesare, and appears to be a reworked version of
the Okinawan Karate Kata Rohai.
Circle of the Tiger: Created by Nick
Cerio, this form is based on movements found in the 1-3
kata forms. Many schools have added this to their
curriculum.
Heian Nidan / Pinan Nidan (and in some cases, Pinan
Shodan): This form in either its Okinawan form (as
first or second form in the series) or Japanese (Shotokan)
version has been 're-added' to the curriculum in many
cases. It comes from the same series as the forms 3,4, and
5 pinan originally, but was replaced by Nick Cerio's 2
pinan. Strangely enough, it was part of the inspiration for
4 kata as well. It was originally the first pinan, but many
schools switched it to the second spot in the series.
Weapon Forms:
Shushi No Kon Sho: The basic Okinawan bo form,
which appears in Nick Cerio's Kenpo, Villari's, Masters
Centers and many other places. It's the form in the book
Bo: Weapon of Self Defense by
Fumio Demura.
