Shaolin American Kempo Karate

During the years of 1958-61, the original twelve punching combinations were developed, and three formalized forms, today known as Kata #1, Kata #2 and Kata #3. 

The forms were made up of movements from the KAJUKENBO system, rearranged, and were largely the creation of Walter Godin who combined various pieces of KAJUKENBO forms. 

It is unclear exactly where the first twelve punch combinations selected came from, however it is largely held that they were designed by Walter Godin and based again on KAJUKENBO. 

One of Godin's most notable creations is Shaolin Kempo combination # 4, which he continued to use in demonstrations and seminars until his passing in 2001.

In 1966, Nick Cerio broke from George Pesare after receiving his Black Belt and struck out on his own. 

When Nick Cerio began as an instructor, he taught ONLY.... 

Twelve Combinations, and three forms - these were Kata 1, 2, and 3. 

3 forms and 12 combinations and Prof. Cerio achieved his Black Belt...THEN added more. So does one need 20-30 forms and 100-200 techniques????

NOOO.....a few forms and several techniques IF taught CORRECTLY should be enough to yield a ton of information.

It is unclear exactly where the first twelve punch combinations selected came from, however it is largely held that they were designed by Walter Godin and based again on KAJUKENBO.

Within the year, Nick Cerio began collaborating with early and original students on the East and West Coast. Armed with an extensive new amount of knowledge about his original system, he began to create. (with the help of George Pesare)

The result of this was what we now call Kata numbers 4, 5, & 6 and an additional 14 punch defenses for a total of twenty-six.

Many of the original 12 combinations were slightly changed and renamed in the Nick Cerio System. 

Good examples of these are - Buckling Branch/Combination #7, Menacing Twirl/Combination #12, or Bending Tree/Combination #19. 

As evidenced by the names of the "Nick Cerio techniques," the changes were made upon the advice of Kenpo Grandmaster Ed Parker

Walter Godin was born 3/21/1937. With the help of Victor Sonny Gascon(Born 3/6/1933), his brother-in-law, they developed the 1st Kata. 

Gascon begins his training in Judo in 46 and begins teaching in 58...after learning Kajukenbo from John Leoning. 

If we do the math.....they where both UNDER 30 years of age when creating 1 Kata. This is not to say they were not good martial artists. 

👉 But, it seems hard to believe they were the all knowing-wise Masters, and that their creations were perfect and had no flaws. 

Not to mention, which variation of the form is the same as the original??? 

I've been a judge many times and have never seen the exact same form executed.
