Leopard Pause Dojo Newsletter

* These issues have a Black Belt Club newsletter too. It's only available for ATC, BBC, XBBC, and MC members and GLK Black Belts. Contact Sifu if you want copies. [Ed. note: By popular request, I'll be rounding up the old copies to post up on the internet. The files will require a password for viewing. New editions will go to the Club members only.]

Subscriptions cost US$20.00 per year, to cover the cost of mailing and handling. It's free if you print it yourself.

Some of you may be wondering, "Did you have a newsletter prior to 1999?" Well, the answer is yes and no. We were part of a (now disbanded) Shaolin Kempo association in 1992 and wrote for their fledgling newsletter, the Shao'lin Dragon. It was discontinued a few years later. A few old KGSA newsletters from 1997, 1998, and 1999 are available in the archives but are in poor repair. There was a short run of Kick'n, published by NAPMA. Now we utilize that newletter's articles, combining it with our own original content.

Selected Articles

Here are some articles related to Karazenpo Go Shinjutsu and Hawaiian Shaolin Kempo. They are written by our instructors and guests of the school. The latest articles are placed on top.
