With the addition of our newest SHIHAN, Steve Taranto, we now have 3 SHIHAN’S in Bob Lynn’s Kenpo Karate: Shihan Chuck Thyne, Shihan Mary Callahan, and Shihan Steve Taranto.
Although I am a GrandMaster titled 10th Degree Black Belt, I have decided to be formally known as PROFESSOR Bob Lynn. This for 3 reasons:
#1: We have too many SHIHAN’S
#2: In honor and remembrance of PROFESSOR Nick Cerio
#3: In honor and remembrance of PROFESSOR Aiau Koa
Thank you In Kenpo,
Professor Bob Lynn, Jr., BS, Judan,
