I received my "Green Belt" video for Chinese Dragon Kempo and I must say, "Excellent!". I should know, I act in a lot of industrial videos and training videos and such and recognized the quality and simplicity of the "presentation/teaching" put forth by you. Tom A.
I got the first tape. It is great, I am 1/3 of the way through it…I like the Kempo and the practical aspects of it. Robert B.
