Mr Rebelo is a Martial Arts Historian,with one of the largest Martial Arts Book,Magazine and Video Collections on the East Coast [if not the U.S.]

"Mr Rebelo had magazines with articles that I had written, that even I did not know were published" ROBERT LIEDKE [Aikido Master and Martial Arts Magazine Author/Writer]

"I have known Joe Rebelo for a good number of years, both as a student and as a friend. He has a unending thirst for knowledge in both the study of the art and also in the History and Tradition side of the art. More people should study this part of the art so it will not die. Thanks to Joe for helping to keep that very important part going on."RICHARD "HUK" PLANAS [Former Vice President of the IKKA and considered by many as one of the "living encyclopedias of Kenpo"]

"Joe Rebelo is the "go-to" guy on the east coast for the history and traditions of Ed Parkers American Kenpo. From the meaning of Ed Parkers middle name to the exact show that Ed Parker appeared on in the "The Lucy Show" Series, to the ins and outs of the 32, 24 or 16 technique curriculums, Joe is a unique man that has an unquenchable thirst for knowledge of the American Kenpo System. If you need to to know ........... who, what, when, where, how, or why........ call Joe Rebelo. " DENNIS CONATSER [Founder & President of the IKKO {International Kenpo Karate Organization} and long time direct student of Ed K. Parker

"For the last few years I have been privledged to work with Joe Rebelo in the art of Ed Parker's American Kenpo Karate. His understanding of the art, and his capability to relate his knowledge to other systems has helped me in better understanding my martial studies. It is truly a unique experience to train with him as he brings rare prespectives to the art that aids in exploring and understanding the Kenpo principles, philosophy, and techniques."BRYAN ZARNETT [Creator of the American Kenpo FAQ {frequently asked questions} and Co-Creator of the Kempo/Kenpo FAQ on the internet]
