    Perhap someone out there knows the answer to this:

    I was taught (many moons ago) by a sensei called Mal Kellett (from Drimnagh if memory serves) and an excellent sensei he was too. Considering everyone seems to know everyone else here, is he still teaching? He taught me for 2 years when I was a bit of a headcase and it taught me a lot of selfdiscipline and control.

    I take it when you say it's little learnt that its the Chinese Kenpo used by Lei Fang in Tekken 5 as opposed to Larry Tatum's hair combat method of Kempo Karate?

    As I recall (and its nearly 20 years ago now that I think of it!) its a form of Chinese Kung Fu, there were about 6-8 dojo's in Dublin including one up around Inchicore (where Mal hailed from).

    I used to teach Kenpo round that area and I can't say the name rings a bell. Maybe post on wardkenpo.ie

    Ah but riley you learnt Kenpo/Kempo (???) Karate and DeVore is talking about Chinese Kenpo which is an old skool Kung fu AFAIK and not the mullet sporting one we all know and love.

    My father is teaching Kenpo years....I think he said that he was in the first Kenpo club in Europe,I will have a word with him and see if the name rings a bell.
