Hey gang, 
Sorry for the delays in any of my fics and in anybodies drawing. I had
hoped to have Hidden Talents 7,8 and Ranma/X-Men pt4. on the ner by bow but
something came up. All this stuff will be there by Monday evening, on my
honor and my life! Wish me luck guys, it's 5:20 in the morning and I'm
about to leave for a tournament in Dallas. I'm going to probably get my Tae
Kwon Doe butt kicked.

 Good luck.  

 Does anyone on the FFML practice kempo?  Is it in the Ranma manga that
the Anything Goes style is based on kempo?  If so, why would Takahashi-sama
use kempo as the foundation for Ranma's fighting style?  How would the
other Ranmaverse martial artists be classified)?  Which martial arts, if
any, do their varied fighting styles resemble?  (Obviously, Kuno uses kendo.
what's kewl about kempo is the fact that it's a japanese take on kung fu..
as for most of the others.. well Shampoo is most likely of one of the Kung
Fu schools (i don't know where it's supposed to be, but if Joketsuzoku is in
northern China then the dirivative would most likely be Shaolin, although
with the Amazon history, for all we know they could have been the
originators... and if it's southern Tai Chi Chuan).. Ryouga well.. i'd guess
he's actually pretty close to Ranma, in the first fight betwen the two (not
the flashback) they used many of the same kicks, and punches against each
other.. but later in the series he starts to diverge (maybe he's part of the
SECRET third line of Anything-goes, the Hibiki school.. he sure follows the
mentality) the rest of the cast is either mythical, a big joke, or something
beyond my knowledge..
