Both Rick and Maria Warwick are recognized as Shaolin Kenpo Black Belts although the version of Ralph Castro's Shaolin Kenpo as it exists today was simply called Ralph Castro's Kenpo Karate. This was the case until 1981 when it became the International Shaolin Kenpo Association.

Unfortunately, not all the Black Belts promoted by Maria Warwick and her students have received the honor of being placed among the respected Martial Artists contained on the ISKA website...yet. There are many corrections required and it is currently being looked into.

We are working with the ISKA in the hopes that all the children and grandchildren of the Warwick family legacy will receive the same accolades that only some have thus far received. We also hope that the incorrect information currently present will be altered to reflect the truth.

If you still possess your certification to Black Belt, we ask that you send us a photo of that certificate (well aware that in many cases it was 40 years ago) as proof of such things is paramount. It will be watermarked prior to being placed on the website to prevent theft.

Please send those photos to sifujj@hotmail.com
