In order for the system to start working, we need your help to start voting to verify other profiles. I have pre-verified many of you already, so you can start the voting. The more votes and points we can register in the system, the better it will work once we open for the public and people need to verify their students and friends.
It would be a big help if you can go through the profiles in the system and cast votes for those you think look legitimate. You can use the search function to find all the completed profiles that are eligible to receive votes: https://www.kenpochecker.[...]ompleted=1
Thanks!

Can't vote til your rank is verified... Great Idea but not sure it's going to be "the way" since you have very few on here actually verified and voting... Just a thought. I know that in time as more more join it won't be an issue. But for now?

This has been thoroughly tested on the BJJ site with 17,000+ members so we know the system works well. It is slow in the beginning and requires some patience and contribution from the first members :) We'll get there!

Looking forward to seeing this as large as the BJJ side

If you provide us with some more details of what the problem is for him, then perhaps we could help? :) 20,297 users has registered on our sites so far, so it should be possible for him as well! :)

Hey everybody,
If you check out new people when they join, and they have legitimate certs, etc, if we can all vote for folks to help get them verified so they can vote for folks, I can attest from beltchecker and judochecker, if we don't get the early folks voting and helping bring others up it stifles the site and its adoption in my opinion.
Just my 2 cents from seeing adoption in the other 2 sites.

Hi Kim! No worries sir.
Our lineage comes from GM Ed Parker as we are an offshoot of Ed Parker American Kenpo. One of his first Black belts John McSweeny was my teacher, Tom Saviano's teacher. Our style of Kenpo is considered a mixture of Old Pine style from Mitose, with the original techniques of Parker, along with some Goju Shorei Kung Fu added in (strike-wise)but minimized. We have 30 techniques, but by Brown level, you are expected and required to start having variations to the base techniques etc.
By the time Black belt testing happens you are doing 4 variations to each technique. We aren't very form heavy (only 3 forms) but are extremely heavy on self-defense and fighting with, and against weapons etc.

I can say eventually I did receive a confirmation email, but it wasn’t easy. Took trying several emails before the one I am using now worked. Could be at some point others won’t be as dedicated or diligent as I was and just give up....

I can vouch for Mr. Conley (as I have with my vote) as being a legitimate practitioner and student of SMA Tony Martinez in Utah. The voting on this site kind of died when that new car smell wore off of this whole thing.

Mine got verified up to brown and then I added a certificate from one of my lower belts that I found and it deleted my status and put me all the way back to white. I have all my certificates up to my black but still haven't been certified so there isn't much I can do yet.
