Wheres the Shaolin in USSD Shaolin Kempo?

Answer 1

I have noticed that their school teaches a combination of shaolin and kempo karate. Their style is based off of the shaolin arts, but incorporates many aspects of traditional karate. One thing to keep in mind is that all popular eastern Martial Arts, including those from China, Korea, and Japan, are somehow or other based off of the shaolin style, which in turn came from earlier martial arts practiced in India. So, in reality, there is shaolin is in most every style, USSD claims the shaolin style because theirs arguably has the most similarities among American schools. The reason for the incorporation of karate can be attributed to the fact that it would be impossible to teach real shaolin arts in an American dojo. It takes a lifetime of dedication and intense training from a young age to the extreme that it may be considered child abuse if it were to be practiced widely. Although USSD is not entirely shaolin, it is still a great school of martial arts and I would highly recommend it.
