Little Kung-Fu Master
Posted on April 27th, 2009 18 comments
Let me introduce you to my little nephew Ethan.He is the reason I work as hard and as much as I do. I want him to have a future that is rewarding and full of adventure.
I never had kids of my own. But this little guy is just like my own son. He will be 4 years old this summer and he is a pistol.
I’ve been practicing martial arts for a long time and fulfilled a life long dream of owning my own karate school.
We teach only Adults because of the style we teach. We teach a Kenpo Base with a mix of Chinese, Hawaiian and American Kenpo. We also add Kajukenbo the original MMA, it started over 60 years ago.
A good Kenpo Practitioner can hit you 6 to 12 time per second.
I’ve had the pleasure to teach FBI, Police and Special Forces members and trained with some of the greatest martial artist from all over the USA.
Not many people know it, but the late Ed Parker founder of American Kenpo and also known as the Father Of American Karate was responsible for bringing Bruce Lee into the public eye.
Both these men helped explode the martial arts onto the scene in the 1970’s and I’m glad they did.
I hope to get my nephew Ethan as excited about the martial arts as I was as a kid. You can see in the photo that I have his uniform ready!
BTW the definition of Kung-Fu is hard work. You are all Kung-Fu Masters!
Thanks for letting me ramble.
Have a kickin’ week!

It’s wonderful to feel your energy and passion in this post.
Practising martial arts is an amazing teacher of discipline and self-mastery.
I trust you will pass the passion on to little Ethan.
All the best,

I used to practice marital arts, as did my son. The discipline and physical conditioning is awesome.
You should have no problem passing on your love of the sport to your nephew.

Bruce Lee was also a philosopher on top of being a first rated martial artist.
Your little nephew has that intense competitive look.

Lynn,
Cute little guy!
Thanks for the Bruce Lee video, it’s been years since I’ve seen one of his training videos.
My two girls have their green belts in TAE KWON DO now, with luck their martial art is just beginning.
I sincerely pray that your wife is ok, I know how that feels.
All the Best

My son loves martial arts. He takes taekwondo. The instructor is amazing with the kids. He is so funny that I wanted to take classes too. Hope your nephew enjoys it as much as you do.
