Master Tsai - Thanks for agreeing to say hello to GM Abbate for me.
To all of you losing sleep over who calls their style what-- "Karate" "Kenpo" "Kempo" "Chuan Fa" "Kung Fu" "Gong Fu" are all...

Dragon man- you said: I wasn't really looking to discuss Abbate really, I was just curious about Ganji's school as it appears to be some sort of kempo school masqueradeing as Kung Fu. I was wondering...
I figured that lengthy book I wrote would trigger quick responses...thanks, guys.
Mas Jdut- funny you mention St Viator gym-- those fights were after my time as a thug and after I moved away from...
