What is Kenpo?
Kenpo is a style of Karate developed in the West. The only difference between Kenpo and Kempo is in the translation of
the Kanji to its English form. The words Kenpo and Kempo are both pronounced the same and both mean "Law of the Fist."
Kenpo also teaches students how to use weapons to increase their understanding of self-defense. In Kenpo, defense against
knives, clubs, and guns are taught from the yellow belt and up. Weapon training often begins at the yellow belt level, although
some schools restrict it to those of black belt level and higher.
The Kenpo style strives to maintain a balance between "martial" and "art." The "martial" aspect is expressed by effective,
efficient self-defense concepts and techniques. The "art" is expressed by creativity, self-expression, and presentation of
form.
