" Chun meets Chung ", 2009

On our vacation trip to Oahu my wife Kakalina and I had a great time visiting ohanas and friends and of course the grinds (food), and the other things you do when visiting the islands. This trip was also extra special, I finally got to say aloha to Jacob Chung and to meet his wife Patricia Chung. I first saw Jacob back in 1986 of January when Jacob was Professas Grandmaster and one of the last true Kara Ho haumana (student). Jacob was doing some chores for the Professa and at that time I couldn't say aloha to Jacob simply because he was in training, and those things don't change and though I wanted to meet Jacob, but I fully understood this, the Professa automatically was telling me about Jacob. Professa cared for him and said, " he was a good boy " , and with the same breath mentioned he like your daddy, true and hard, you come like that and with a golf ball like in my throat I muttered something, like a fish choking. The Professa continue to say that Jacob," knows my Kara Ho Kempo ". He started to grumbled some words and names and stated about the others (names withheld), speck with fork tongue and they change my art style of Chinese Kempo. Jacob, no changam.....he train with me long time, he like my son....though the Professa has a birth son name Steven Chow.

The meeting of Chun and Chung simply came by e-mail from Jacob sending and giving our Ohana nui a mahalo for the plaque that was dedicated to our Grandmaster Chow at the Nuuanu YMCA in Honolulu. I had a chance to contact Jacob and talked story for a while and thn I mention to Jacob that my wife and I will be in Oahu in April of this year. So I finally got to say aloha to Jacob and too meet his wonderful wife Patricia. Jacob brought us to a restaurant in Honolulu and had some great grinds and talked a lot about the Professa and things simple and things that I missed in talking story with our clan and the things I can relate too. But, I saw some of the pain that still lingers in our Kenpo/Kempo Martial Arts honua of our Grandmaster Chow, but I told Jacob, we still here and for those who and what they did, they might think they have what it takes, but there will always be their McDonald type groups. I will train hard and true and we both understood and knew who we are in our Grandmaster Chow's art style. And my thoughts of Jacob, well... not to go into another story...SIMPLY THE PROFESSA WAS RIGHT!! And as of today, Jacob and I still stays in contact.

Mahalo to Jacob and his wife Patricia and aloha to all of our Kenpo/Kempo haumana nui.

Aloha ohana of Kenpo/Kempo,

There's a form (kata)... to some, that was brought to my attention concerning a video of the Professa (Chow), doing a form that was put on John Bishop's site (see link below) though I never met Mr. Bishop and this was the first time I had the pleasure to see what was put on a John Bishop site and it brought back some memories of this form. It also feels great to know that when I saw this clip it was like a ton of ice melting, because of the things I have heard years ago about the Professa not doing Forms/Katas. Mahalo Mr. Bishop. It delights me to see that what I know of this form and how it was developed and created by the Professa and my father William Chun, Sr. The year was 1955 - to present..... because we still teach this form of the tension internal developing of ' ikaika ' (powerful-force), if you look carefully at the Professa's breathing then it should be simple to see from the movement to his motions it has the ' ikaika '. This form has two versions of the second and third moves and motions of " Tension Form 2 and 3 ", which later was labeled as " Climb of the mountain and Top of the mountain ", the reason of these creative forms was to combine the hard with the soft of the Japanese and Chinese influence of our art style, but the Hawaiian Lua was later added to identify the Professa's Chinese Kempo everything else was just respect of the other arts that he liked. My father knew the lua, but he kept it behind his teaching the ways of the Go Shin Jitsu Kenpo Kai, ' he understood that one has to develop his or hers inner self before adding what you don't understand of your character '. As for myself, I learned lua.... not studied it to the fullness, it was too sacred and for me to learn what was taught was fine enough for me, because being from Hawaiian Heritage I felt you have to understand when it was being used of the lua techniques....it was very effective!

Mahalo to all.... for allowing me to have a chance to say things about the Professa and Chun, Sr. Here is another adjustment in our art style.....The Professa is my Great Grandmaster.....My Father is my Professor.

Note :
This write up is by NO means to disrespect anyone or to prove anything.... it was just something I felt all of my branches lineage to our roots it would help and to know that my developing was to share and if some of you feel it's important to use this for your own selfishness than at least mention..... " The Chow/Chun method of Kenpo/Kempo....Give my Instructor and Teacher the credit..... It belongs to them not you or me ". I'm a student and a warrior of the Go Shin Jitsu Kenpo/Chinese Kempo Kai art style. The castle was built already and now it's time to show how much of these instructors and teachers that how much they really meant to all of us. Because to be honest, for most of you.... your instructor or teacher was a student as for all of us. How you keep your room in this castle organized it's your choice, but " understand others before making judgment ". Professa once said, ' Demons become Devils ''.

Aloha and Mahalo Aikane,
Bill Chun, Jr.
