You showed your forgiveness and allowed yourself to be removed from others that treated you wrongly that didn't know or understand their purpose of how to be a true artist of our art style. You understood my Fist of Law of the Chow/Chun, Sr. ways of...Don't Ask, Don't Cheat and Don't Lie. Now, you are learning how to receive as I will give to those who are worthy and will receive not falsely of the titles or ranks and will carry on by not giving students false hopes. Remember... we serve the weak to protect and defend. Respect and Love...Sifu Chun, Jr.

“ Mahalo and Aloha to all that participated in this weekend and allowing myself and my students of the Go Shin Jitsu Kenpo/Chinese Kempo Federation to demonstrate the effectiveness of the Chow/Chun, Sr., Method of Self Defense. I want to send a special Mahalo to all the male and females that accompanied their loved ones in the Women's Self Defense session as uki's. These individuals sacrificed their body's to allow their better half to learn how to use what was taught and show how to protect themselves...MAHALO, YOU ALL DID A GREAT JOB!
I wish you all a wonderful life and if our paths never cross again...Block, Punch, Kick, Protect and Defend..
Be safe and take care of each other. “

Hansuki Form
To whom it may concern:
My name is William Chun, Jr. It has been brought to my attention concerning the original Art Form of the Hansuki, which was created by William Chun, Sr., whom to many of the East Coast is the Grandmaster of your Branches and is the Roots to William Chow (Great Grandmaster).
This is not a subject of who did what. I have seen the disgrace of what is a sacred form that was not even close to the Hansuki form that only three or at most four true Chow/Chun, Sr. students had learned. It’s just unfortunate that there are so many in the Kenpo/Kempo system that doesn’t know this fine Art.
I remember at one of my seminars, a student asked me, “Master Chun, why is your Kenpo/Kempo different?” I replied back, “It’s the Original Arts Style of the Chow/Chun, Sr. roots, so it’s your Arts Style that has become different.” I knew then that I had a hard road and a lot of work ahead of me. So I guess this will be one of my friendship messages concerning the form Hansuki.
What I understand of this form that comes out of the East Coast is that it doesn’t have any
meaning or character compared to the Original. This is the only difference. From the original form Hansuki, which was created by Grandmaster Chun, Sr., it’s just unfortunate that others don’t respect a true form of creativity. Others use the excuse by saying, ‘They are doing it out of respect for the Creator.’ This is why they do it. But how can one understand what they don’t feel when they are blinded by their own demons. Diluting is what’s being done to this form. I’m writing this message to all Kenpo/Kempo practitioners, ‘Study your Fist of Law and the China/Empty Hand’.
I have met and still keep in touch with many of the East Coast students from all parts of the New England area. I’ve taught and seen really good Kenpo/Kempo practitioners, but I understand the dilemma of being between a hard rock and loyalty. When an Artist uses his brush, he knows that adding will keep the similarity to the original vision.
I never use television, books, DVD’s, or tapes for training of one’s Art Style. I understand my duties as a Representative and Successor to the Chow/Chun, Sr’s lineage and roots. The
International Self Defense Federation/Association will continue to share and educate the future students of the Art Style of Kenpo/Kempo.
This is not up for discussion. We can talk about it, but would we all really understand it? I
learned through my training the hands and feet are not going to be used more than your mind. Which leads to not wasting my energy from, or for one’s point of views of making lies in of one’s own beliefs. When you look at a picture and want to add to this picture, you are not only visualizing, you’re creating from others.
The damage has been done. And for my part, it’s simply correcting who the true creator of the form Hansuki is. And for those who sent their concerns and dismay of what happened to this form, I send my Mahalo (I thank you) for that and want to insure all of you that it’s in good hands.
May all of you be safe and till we get to meet again, god bless and nui loa.
Aloha and Mahalo,
Master Chun, Jr.

To Whom It All Concerned :
My name is William Chun, Jr. I'm writing this in reference to the stealing and with disrespect to my father and two of my uncle's by true blood. In question is the development of the Mountain/Moon Patch that was used without permission though it was in the family for centuries without conditions.
The creator and owner which one is deceased and the other still alive has presented me with a writeup for legal actions. Though this is mentioned in my book, I challenge anyone who thinks they have the rights to the creativity and the meaning to this design.
I understand that in Canada and parts of the United States there has been actions taken by an individual or groups who has schools, dojos, clubs and or studios whom is falsely representing our family creativity of the M/M which is one families and the original meaning belonging to the other family. If this person has the sense of compassion to the true artist of this creativity than do the right thing or it will go to court with prove NOT LIKE YOURS....It would be the original presentation and NOT BY A THIEF.
May you all train hard and true and promote with meaning.
Yours in Kenpo/Kempo
William Chun, Jr.
