Well I started taking Kempo. I thought it would be great and go nicely with my black belt in Tae Kwon Do! When I was a young lad my parents were nice enough to put me in Tae Kwon Do classes when I was about 8 or so...I really can not remember when I started. I took from a man named Mark P. He was awesome! He was a big guy he had to weigh 300+ and stood at least 6 ft tall. He had the dojo in a shed behind his house. I took it for about 8 or so years.
It is funny to see the simalarities in the styles I have only taken one classes but some of the terms are different kicks...I am going to have to get used to that. It feels good to be using those muscles again. Even if I am really sore.
Now I am taking from my Bro in Law Gearold! I am in the class with Noah, Kersten, Spencer, Nina, Josh and I think Kristin is taking too but I am not sure. Also Gearolds kids help him with teaching I am glad to learn from them.
I will admit I am looking forward to sparing again.
I only have one picture of me when I was a young brown belt. So I will post that! ;) We will have to get Lena to take some in the new black Gi :) That is a little strange too because I have always had a white Gi :)

IT was really cool to watch you, Gearold and my men working it last night at the dojo. It was sweet
So...the secret of your super powers have been revealed. You will be mine now, Boywonder! Ah haha!
Way to go, Nik! I loved watching Lena when she was in Tae Kwon Do! Is she learning too?
