GM Larry Tatum and Salutation

Robbie St. Jean has shared this great video with the world of Kenpo Karate. Someone asked Gand Master Larry Tatum to explain the movement and hand gestures we make in our Kenpo Karate salutation and here is what he said.

I hope all of my kenpoists friends enjoy this as much as I did, thank you, Robbie, for sharing this.

The Kenpo Karate Creed

I come to you with only Karate, empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor, should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong; then here are my weapons, Karate, my empty hands.
