Kenpo Hall Of Fame Update
The “Kenpo Hall of Fame” will soon have its own website where each inductee into the Hall of Fame will have a link to each individual’s web site.
Thank You
Dobbs Kenpo would like to thank Extra Martial Arts for putting Ronnie Dobbs on the cover of their Aug/Sept, 2008 issue. The great thing about Extra Martial Arts Magazine is that it is actually read by thousands of real divorced martial artists. They also wrote an excellent cover story.
