Sara’s Skit with Dustin as the Victim
Sara presents her “Bistro” skit at the October 26th 2010 Black Belt Exam. Her poor husband gets tossed around and finally really gets nailed big time at the end. Sara received her 2nd Degree Black Belt. Hopefully we will receive some other videos of this skit and can edit them together from different angles and closer views and even add some music.
“Old School” One Step Sparring
This is a video of students from Kinney Karate doing One Step Sparring during a Festival of States Demonstration. You could call this “Old School” One Step Sparring. This is a great training drill that teaches many really important skills that a martial artist needs for well rounded technical body dynamics. I thought there are some really good techniques here that haven’t been seen by my students for a while and it never hurts to go back and learn from some of the old basics.

Young Martial Arts Black Belt Demonstration
Two young but experienced Black Belts created this demonstration on their own and presented it for an audience. The two young men are now over 30 years old and have their own kids. Jimmy, the student in the white top, is still active and a top Florida MMA fighter. Filmed for a segment of Michael Kinney’s televison show “Kinney Karate World”.
Martial Arts Team Fight-The Elvis Jackets Executive Team
Kinney Karate Executive Fighting Team vs. an opposing team. OK, this has a spoof-type intro for our home team. Thanks to radio personality Mark Larsen for providing the voice-over. The name of the Kinney Karate team is “The Elvis Jackets.” This odd name was chosen because Elvis was a Black Belt and we made Black Jackets to resemble the “King’s” look. Yeah, we also wore the big sunglasses. We thought it was funny, the crowds loved it, we had a great time with it, and best of all, The “Elvis Jackets” were undefeated.
Kinney Karate Demonstration at Tropicana Field
This video was filmed at the opening of the Florida Suncoast Dome in St. Petersburg, Florida. The dome was renamed “Tropicana Field” and is now the Home of “The Rays”. What an experience! How many Karate schools get the opportunity to perform at a Major League Baseball stadium.
Amazing Kick and Leg Control
This Kinney Karate Black Belt demonstrates amazing control of his leg and excellent technique in positioning. This is a great exercise to practice. It allows the student to have complete muscle and power control when executing a kick.
Filmed for the television show “Kinney Karate World” featuring Michael Kinney.
America’s Funniest Home Videos-Karate Breaking Dance
Michael Kinney trained this student from a beginner in his Maryland school. In this video Rick, a seasoned Black Belt, performs on the TV show “America’s Funniest Home Videos” and places 2nd. He actually won money and demonstrated his talent in breaking with a twist. The location was the studio in Adelphi Maryland founded by Mr. Kinney and his instructor Dale Tompkins.
Martial Arts Ballet
This “special effect and sound show” features students at Michael Kinney’s Karate Summer Camp doing a choreographed “Ballet” to music.

Seth teaches Kinney Karate in St. Petersburg, FL.
Martial Arts Demonstration of Psychic Energy Power
This amazing demonstration shows the Psychic power of the Martial Arts. One Partner uses Mental Telekinesis Energy to control the actions of the other. This is a creative satire, although some people think it’s real. [THIS IS A JOKE, THEY ARE DOING THIS FOR LAUGHS AND MAKING FUN OF THESE TYPES OF DEMONSTRATIONS. DON'T TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY.]

Kinney Karate Summer Camp 1990
This video visits Kinney Karate Camp in 1990. The camp was located at Camp Good Council in Inverness, Florida. Michael Kinney has sponsored a camp for students for 30 years. It just happened that we had a videographer on this visit who took the time to edit and put this video together. I’m sure a lot of former students will have fond memories of Kinney Karate summer camp.
The Founder of Aikido (Part 1)
