A quick interview with Senior Grandmaster George Pesare to clear up some concerns he felt after listening to a recent episode of this show.

I'll be working with SGM Pesare to release the second edition of his documentary DVD "Early Kempo in New England" which documents Nick Cerio training as a white belt under SGM Pesare at his kempo school in Rhode Island.

AJ Perry from Australia speaks of training with Jeff Speakman and his experience with Dan Inosanto. He's got some great techniques for improving your school's marketing especially for bringing on new kids to your school and methods to keep them entertained.

In this interview Diana Lee Inosanto discusses her childhood and what it was like growing up with the infamous Dan Inosanto as a father and Bruce Lee as her God-father.

Shihan John James is currently the vice president of the Kempo Lo Kahi association of America. But in past years has had the opportunity to call himself a student and disciple of the revered Professor Nick Cerio, who was the founder of Nick Cerios Kempo and also helped to popularize kempo karate in New England.

It's time to reflect on 2011 and look forward to accomplishing new things in 2012. It's been a huge year for maLineage.com as it was officially launched in April. I can't express my appreciation enough to everyone involved. Thank you for all your contributions and I'm looking forward to another year of learning and growing with you.

The second half of the interview with the wonderfully insightful and brilliant Master Arthur Rosenfeld. He talks about the "hunger" for something more profound in life that leads us toward philosophies and traditions like those of Tai Chi. We also talk about a little bit of the science of Tai Chi and how it has developed in modern times.

Master Arthur Rosenfeld is a contributor to national magazines including Vogue, Vanity Fair, and Parade has been seen on Fox News and other networks, and heard on numerous national radio programs. He also has a show featuring the benefits of Tai Chi on National PBS.

The discovery of an ancient Italian manuscript led David Cvet to explore medieval combat systems and eventually found the Academy of European Medieval Martial Arts in Toronto Canada.

Join me for a real quick episode this time to give me a chance to summarize a couple of the lessons we've had the opportunity to learn with the Martial Arts Lineage Podcast.

Instructor Michael A. Vollero, is a 26th generation Longmen Pai (Dragon Gate Sect) disciple, 16th generation Sanfeng Pai instructor, and student of Zhengyi Daoism. He makes yearly pilgrimages to the Wudang mountains of China to study Kung Fu with the Taoist monks and participate in the ceremonies and rituals at the Purple Heaven Palace.

"What's better; a Porsche or a tank?" is a question Sifu/Guru Ron Balicki poses on the differences and methods of adaptation between styles of martial arts. And he reminds us that Bruce Lee encouraged practitioners to "be more important than the style".

I'm personally a 5th generation successor of Senior Grandmaster George Pesare which makes this a very exciting interview for me. He is the man responsible for bringing Kempo Karate to New England and spreading it to the masses.
