When I was calling around Seattle for martial arts places, evidently there's something called Temko or something now. I'm asking what they're teaching, and they won't tell me. They just say it's Kempo.

Okay, what kind of kempo?

Kempo.

"Why don't you come in and see."
"Well I'm not exactly in the same state right now. That would be kindof hard."

So I did some searching around, and turns out they used to be Temple Kung Fu, but they split off or something. LOL

Yeah

I saw those ads when I was a kid, then years later I when was thinking about seriously about starting in MA and I saw the ad on TV again. The one of Simon on the bridge.

I signed up the next day.

10 years later I finally saw the light...

sweet jebas!!! you wasted 10 years of your life with simons bogus stuff?

too bad. bet you're put off on a lot of martial arts now.

here's my advice, if you want that bad taste out of your mouth, go to a school that trains in reality based combat and uses non compliancy and pressure testing to validate techniques and training methods.

Otherwsie, you'll wind up in some nebulous track of "secrets" and cryptic mumbo jumbo that will continue to waste your time on the planet.

If it can't be shown to work, it likely doesn't.

yeah me too at the last job I had. But I'd rather get some kungfu training from a kungfu school. The side benefits aren't why I would sign up for the main course.

neilhytholt,
if you're looking for instruction in Seattle WA, you ought to get in touch with Three Harmonies, he just moved up there.
I caught some of his seminar last month as he was fixing to leave town (albuquerque).
just from what i saw in the 1 day i went to the seminar i can tell you, he is def. the real deal, and the atmosphere in class is great. he's constantly joking around, but he is for real. Knows killer applications of every single move in the form... and they are kick ass applications, not baloney karate type stuff. it really opened my eyes.

in fact it was way more than i could absorb in that time frame, i took myself out of the seminar because i never did mantis before & i was a drag on the class, slowing it down lol :o
i would have signed up for his classes then and there but like i mentioned he was in the process of moving up North so no dice.
at least check him out up there, he is Mr. Jake Burroughs, his school is Three Harmonies and he is regged as Three Harmonies here at this forum too.
he definitely walks the walk and has plenty practical experience applying what he knows.
