This picture was taken at the "Gathering of Eagles" in Las Vegas, CA in February of 1999. The gentleman on the left, whom I am shaking hands with is William Chun Jr., son of William Chun Sr., who was one of Professor William K. S. Chow's senior Black Belts in the Kara-Ho Kenpo/Kempo System. William Chun Sr. was the main people that Nick Cerio and William Marcierelli worked with when they first went to Hawaii.

, located in Fairfield and Vallejo, California. Many consider his father to be Professor Chow's prodigy and the original inheritor of William "Thunderbolt" Chow's Kara-Ho System. It was an honor to meet him after reading the article on he and his father's system in Karate International Magazine. The system had all the earmarks of Hawaiian Kenpo/Kempo: hard, bone-breaking blocks or soft, circular parries, quarter-beat timed multiple strikes, buckling actions or leg take-downs, slapping checks and palm strikes were all showcased during his seminar. He confirmed many of the aspects that I have seen from previous instructors who have trained with Professor Chow directly.
