  Kinematic investigations are being increasingly deployed in studies of the
lowest mass stars and brown dwarfs to investigate their origins, characterize
their atmospheres, and examine the evolution of their physical parameters. This
article summarizes the contributions made at the Kinematics of Very Low Mass
Dwarfs Splinter Session. Results discussed include analysis of kinematic
distributions of M, L and T dwarfs; theoretical tools for interpreting these
distributions; identifications of very low mass halo dwarfs and wide companions
to nearby stars; radial velocity variability among young and very cool brown
dwarfs; and the search and identification of M dwarfs in young moving groups. A
summary of discussion points at the conclusion of the Splinter is also
presented.
