Its interesting then how all the different schools teach different
kempos. Do you think this is good or bad for the style? Should
there be a uniform/ set way of teaching the basics? I am not

when I was that level.Back then I could not get enough then as It
was 25 yrs ago.I found the best way to teach Kempos at that level
was to work with the techniques that are found at those levels,such
as stature of the crain,#3 kata,#4 kata.students at that level must
be kept motivated,and you can have a lot of fun working with these
students,not to mention make you understand what make these forms
work.
