American Kenpo? Chinese Kenpo? Shaolin? White Tiger? Kenpo 5.0? Kempo vs Kenpo? So many questions come up when we talk about this art so today we're going to take a little tour of several different types of Kenpo.

Chōjun Miyagi had summed up the numerous styles of Karate as being “different methods of teaching the same thing.” I personally think when you look at it this way, it reminds us not to take individual ‘styles’ too seriously. If the original intent of the pioneers was self defence against non consensual violence, what works works.

I have to agree with this, because you can even find this kind of variation within a single art. Each person and school is going to have a different approach and best to find the one that aligns with what you want.

I'm a former Villari Kempo student and I remember it being a lot of fun - my favorite form being "Stature of the Crane." I remember my school became a United Studies of Self Defense dojo and there were some changes I didn't like. Sparring, for example, became "no contact" which felt silly. I also remember it suddenly being more expensive too.

I respect Chuck Sullivan for attempting to reduce the vast amounts of techniques in the curriculum of American Kenpo as well......and a little disappointed you didnt review the most devastating form of Kenpo, so profoundly dangerous that it far surpassed the Kenpo it likely came from, New Mexico's Ameri-Dote....formulated by the venerable Master Ken!

I trained in Chinese kenpo in the Traco system under Tomas Connor (thats how he spelled it at the time) in Phoenix, AZ. As far as his martial arts background is concerned, the only thing the senior instructors said was that he had been a boxer. He originated the 5 low priced introductory lessons approach to gaining new students. This was something he learned as a dance instructor for Arthur Murray Studios. He had been a weightlifter when he was in California, and became a competitive bodybuilder in he 50's. He was very strong and muscular and had a complete bodybuilding gym in his main studio. We became friends and I was one of only a couple students who were invited to Tom jr's wedding. I feel privileged to have known him.

Taijutsu is merely body movement, so would should be seeing more body/foot movement and just shorter punching methods. I watched White Tiger Kenpo and it would fit right in with my Yoshin Ryu Jujutsu training as we often combined striking making it more like Kenpo and less like Aikido. Best wishes in your training.

Another excellent video. I always appreciate not only how well thought-out the content is, but how respectful the tone remains. A couple points: -I have seen the "m" vs. "n" used to distinguish lineage as well. -Funakoshi may have popularized 空手 over 唐手 but there are records of the former ("empty hands") being used as far back in the 18th century; Japanese, like English, was reaaally fluid back in the day. Initially, in Okinawa 唐手 was originally TOUDE (or TOUDII) until around 1901 when it started being promoted as KARATE, which led to the gradual shift toward 空手. Thank you again, and OSU Mr. Parker.

Taking on this topic took a lot of courage, my hats off to you. Although there is much to comment on, I will refrain and only point out a couple discrepancies. ie. The B.K.F. (Black Karate Federation) is not a "Kenpo" organization or style. Second, The Black Karate Federation was not founded by either Steve Sanders (Muhammad) or Donnie Williams. The Black Karate Federation was founded by Myself, Dr. Clifford Stewart, and Grandmaster Jerry Smith. A little digging will verify this. You might also contact the CEO of the Black Karate Federation Mr. K.C. Jones through the BKF Facebook Page. Steve Muhammad was a student of Chuck Sullivan not Ed Parker Sr. I love what you're trying to do and it is obvious you work hard to present a valuable educational aspect of the arts.

Hi everyone, I have experience training under GM Jim Brassard as mentioned. I trained in Shaolin Kempo for 16 years, 9 of which as a full-time dojo manager. Then I found GM Jim Brassard in 2012, and have stuck with him since. Grandmaster Brassard believes in no-nonsense Kempo, so he created Shaolin American Kempo. He found the most practical uses from many Kempo arts and teaches the best principles from them. A lot of this involves deleting forms and techniques. Like Bruce Lee, he teaches that physical fitness is the foundation of any capable martial artist, so fitness is highly emphasized in his program. It is designed to get you fit and conditioned while learning self defense, and it works! One of the things I love most about training under GM Brassard is that he gets you thinking. He doesn't just teach movements, he teaches principles and practical street sense. There is a time and place for different types of movement, and he has created a science of it. I have seen many types of Kempo/Kenpo, and I believe GM Brassard has done an outstanding job with his Art. GM Brassard has perpetuated my skill and understanding light years beyond what it was before I met him. I love Kempo, and to pay homage and give credibility to our style, I made a quick video demonstration - search in KZfaq for "Kempo Rocks". I hope this is helpful to some of you! Brad Randolph

This topic is intriguing to me as My Chinese Kempo instructors Sensei perished in a helicopter accident in the military back in the 80s i believe by the name of Major Rodney Ventar. After he was discharged, my instructor competed in Forms and weapons forms in the international circuit, which led to him meeting Professor Harold Laranang, whose style i believe was technically Kajukenfu, and trained under Adriano Emperado. The style had Kata, and Ko-budo weapons kata, but also had Arnis curriculum as my instructor had come from the Phillipines at 17. It would really be great to determine Professors lineage.

I don’t know his roots. Most of the time then (the 70s) people didn’t not talk to much about the style so much as they did about who they were training under. The guys then were serious dudes and a lot of us were Vietnam vets and we enjoyed being with the guys again that could relate and for some of us the martial arts was what we used.

I love the history of all of this. Thank you for placing some things for me. And thank you for your video. I studied a form of Kenjo, offshoot of Kenpo/Kempo from Okinawa. The Grand Master was Jerry Knowle, his first student was James Crowder, and Master Crowder became Grand Master after Grand Master Knowle died about 20 years ago. My discipline was Crane. It was very different but I loved it very much until an injury took me completely out of commission. I can no longer practice martial arts in any capacity and I miss it so much. When I found it, and it found me, I was searching for something in my life and had searched for something most of my life, it filled that void. I've seen other forms of Kenjo that are nothing like what I experienced. It was very deadly and very aggressive. I will never forget the feeling of being able to perform my Crane Kata. Bo staff, and chucks, double chucks. It was a wonderful time in my life. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

I used to train in a style of Kenpo called "twin cats" it's aptly named because of the many techniques borrowed from Fou Jiao (tiger claw kung fu) Sadly it's not really a well-known system - my guess is because it's likely traded hands with many chinese families (triads) Nowadays I'm training in Tang Soo Do (Korean Karate) and loving every minute of it!

I'm from Indonesia. I learned Kenpo for around 3 years when I was 11yro until 13yro. Shorinji Kempo, with a horizontal flip swastika logo, called Manji. And I was told by my senpai that once I learned/join Shorinji Kempo, I shouldn't join other martial arts. There was nothing weird, apart from the fighting art, I did learn lots of moral value was taught and also meditation. Although he doesn't mention much about Shorinji Kempo in this video, after ages I finally understand the differences.

I don't know. still feeling some of my old injuries from our " gotta know what it feels like" sessions. and of course we didn't have matts for the grappling.

Hello! A couple of points I wanted to clarify: 1.Fred Villari never trained with Prof. Chow 2. James Brassard's original training was with Fred Villari in Shaolin Kempo. Later, he would incorporate Ed Parker's American Kenpo to create his own hybrid. His brother Len has been involved in American Kenpo for decades. Thank you for correcting your earlier comment regarding John Mcsweeny and Tom Saviano. I was hoping you would mention David German's T.A.I, his system of Kenpo jujitsu made him one of the pioneers of MMA in this country and he was the first person to combine Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate with jujitsu.

After reading through the comments, I thank Ed Parker for giving us the freedom to explore within our own system due to the fact so many 'traditional' styles are so concerned to not change anything. This brings out the fact that how important it is for a Kenpoist to train in something classical to give them a foundation to build on.

As a person that’s trained in Kenpo most of his life I have come to know a bit of the history as well. Basically, Kenpo split into two main paths after Professor Chow’s Karaho Kenpo. One being your lineage American Kenpo and two being Kajukenbo. My family tree ties into this branch. Kajukenbo lead to Karazenpo Goshinjutsu, which lead to Pesare’s Kenpo, which lead to Nick Cerio’s Kenpo, and finally lead to Shaolin Kempo Karate. Each founder like you said added other martial arts to help form their systems. But as you mentioned we all come from the same family tree. In some ways we are cousins in the Kenpo family.

The Kenpo style I study seems to come from Chow's student Ron Alo. When Alo brought Kara-Ho Kenpo to California, there was not really any forms in the system. Alo got a Dan rank under Robert Trias. Trias was taught by a student of Choki Motobu. Mitose had also referenced Choki Motobu as a great Kenpo master. The addition of Okinawan Kata in Kara-Ho Kenpo by Alo has been what is the Okinawan Kenpo I study in Arizona. The Ryukyu Kenpo is actually more varied. Motobu and Funakoshi both referred to karate as Ryukyu Kenpo/Kempo. Oyata had actually changed the name of his system to Ryu-Te because of controversy with Dillman. Basically, Okinawa Kenpo Tomri-te is what was passed down from Nakamura. Odo and Oyata brought the system to the USA. Dillman took the vital point strikes that Oyata taught into the "pressure point KO" and the "no touch KO". One of the students of the Arvisos here in Yuma, AZ has put himself under the Dillman organization. I do not study there, and will not study there, because of this issue. The lineage I have seems to go this route: To Alo... Me Cano Sensei Porchas Sensei Arviso Sensei Alo Sensei Alo lineage 1... Alo Sensei Chow Sensei Mitose Sensei (Reference to Motobu Sensei by Mitose) Alo lineage 2... Alo sensei Trias Sensei Hsiang Sensei Motobu Sensei I consider AK to be a sibling of my system. I also see some influence from AK in our system, as the Arvisos and Porchas families have often competed at competitions that Ed Parker and AK students also would attend. I have a deep respect for both the systems from Hawaii, and see the value in the systems and how they can improve my undrstanding of martial arts.

Cool to hear from an Alo lineage Kenpoist. I study under Ron Alo from 1969 -1979. We also shared an apartment as roommates in 1978-79. This was before he married Julie. Early on there were very few forms/kata. There was actually a heavy judo influence in the curriculum in the early years. In fact Ron was an asst. instructor at a judo club where I was at first before he branched off and I followed him.

Early on with Ron Alo we wore the Trias patch and were under the USKA umbrella. Trias was a 6th dan in Judo so his mixed style reflected that. It was about '74-75 ish that Ron created his own system and phased out some of the judo and introduced more forms and kata. Although he retained a lot of sparring heavy training. I've practiced with many Kenpoists from all linage and today I would say the original Kenpo Alo taught was closer to Kajukenpo. There are still just a few dojo's that wear the Alo Kenpo patch but those schools teach something closer to a Parker curriculum. In fact just a few years before they both died (both within 1-2 years of each other) Parker elevated Ron to 7th and it appears the current Alo schools seem to resemble that Parker influence.

@@stevendoty9408 That's nice. When you started I had been a Black Belt for just over a decade. You may think you know the origin of many arts, but clearly, you know little about Ed Parker Sr. Not only was he not a traditionalist, but he also did not teach in a traditional way. His original art as taught to him by William Kwai Sun Chow (nicknamed Thunderbolt) was a hybrid of different arts that included elements of Chinese Gung-Fu, Jiu-jitsu, Karate, and "Kenpo." The term "Kenpo-Karate" was created by Sifu Chow who was also a student of Henry Okazaki and studied Dan Zan Ryu Jiu-jitsu. Mr. Parker's 1st Black Diploma listed him as a "Shodan" in Kenpo, Jiu-jitsu, and karate-do. I have a copy. I began study with him in 1963 as a black belt of one of his primary former mainland teachers, Sifu Ark Wong in Los Angeles Chinatown. I was with him until his death in December of 1990 and was given the honor of awarding a Black Belt to my student, his son Edmund Parker Jr. The closest you could come to attributing anything "traditional" to Ed Parker, was a karate-gi. I was there and assisted in building some of the commercial curricula that most are familiar with called Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate, and studied with him before, during, and after its creation as well and assisted with the non-published work that he unfortunately never finished. He was my best friend as his son is now. Your "encyclopedia" needs some work, sir. - Dr. Chapél

That is all I meant by that. unlike Bruce who started you from the get go, basing it not on, learn this stance, this kata, etc but rather on how you fought when you started learning from him, then progressing as needed to trim down, maybe not the right words, bad habits and un needed techniques, as in no set pattern. Parker, who I greatly admire did teach things as a pattern, then later, as you progressed, you yourself did the trimming down. Both grew great artist, but had different approaches on how to get them there.

@@stevendoty9408 If you're speaking of Ed Parker's Kenpo Karate, you're close. However, it was famous for being an "idea" system based on concepts and not a hard curriculum. Everything was a"suggestion" and Mr. Parker left everything in the hands of the students and its teachers. It was and is more a training regimen in many ways like JKD, and not an actual "style" of the arts. It was designed to "expose" a student to many aspects and allow them to choose how they would implement them in self-defense. And yes, it had to be structured to make it business-friendly so students could progress. The whole concept was borrowed wholesale from the Arthur Murray Dance Studios Business Plan.

I have a black belt in shaolin kempo. Technically it is almost identicial to Karazenpo goshinjutsu as taught by George Pesare and Nick Cerio Kempo. The kata series, 1-5 are the same ones taught by Pesare and the Pinian series are the same ones taught by cerio, which are themselves heavily modified versions of the okinowan/japanese Pinians. Additionally students learn 26 "combinations" taken almost directly from Karazenpo. The main difference is that Villari added a whole bunch of extra techniques on top of the core 26 combinations. These include combination 27-108, and awhole bunch of extra "Kempo" techniques. The art itself has a lot of good techniques and a whole lot of overwhelmingly bad techniques. A a student I had to learn 37 hand striking techniques, some of which were wildly impractical. The main problem I have seen in SKK, as well as virtually every other kempo system, is a focus on quantity over quality. Students learn hundreds of different self defense techniques, but never actuall learn how to throw a decent kick or punch. This leads to a lot of sloppy slapping, kicking, and flailing when a quick jab cross combo would do. That being said, as a competative kickboxer and Mixed martial artist Kempo continues to be the core of my own personal fighting style and I have used a lot of the technniques and concepts I first learned in Kempo both in the ring, and in my dy to day job as a police officer

I got my foundational training in Okinawan Kenpo, while growing up in Hawaii. The system was founded back in Okinawa by Shigeru Nakamura in the 1950s. In 1969, Seikichi Odo took over as Grandmaster till his passing in 2002. Odo Sensei added several kata to our curriculum as well as Kobudo. Incidentally, Seiyu Oyata also trained under Nakamura. I have a few videos on my channel performing some of the kata & kobudo forms. I left Hawaii in 1991, so my kata is from that time period - other videos elsewhere on KZfaq will have different variations as the system has continued to evolve.

Mas Oyama came to the US to put a stop to the abuse. It was a Japanese thing to hit students and get them accustomed to pain. Our school was Okinawa Goju-Ryu, separate from Japan. It had plenty tests of techniques. Some of the really dangerous ones got a lot of people hurt during riots here in Puerto Rico.

I learned Kenpo through a Dan Inosanto affiliate. Dan Inosanto received his black belt in American Kenpo from Ed Parker and is well known for his involvement in Bruce Lees JKD which I think was heavily heavily influenced by the teachings of Ed Parker from a philosophical and developmental view point. Ed Parker and Bruce Lee were very close friends and I believe Bruce Lee was inspired to cross train in Boxing and western arts by Ed Parker who crossed trained in various arts before founding his American Kenpo. Lee even wears what are known in JKD circles as Kenpo gloves in one of his famous movies. It seems that the concept of hybrid martial arts training in America comes from Hawaii for a large part with all the cultures on the Island sharing and giving birth to styles like American Kenpo, Danzan Ryu Jujitsu, Small circle Jujitsu, Kajukenbo and Hawaiian Kenpo.

The first time that Karate was written as empty hand kanji was in 1902, not by Funakoshi sensei (due respect) the chinese even read them as Kong so, which is close to sound kung fu. Funakoshi sensei adopted the idea strongly when in Tokyo, but it was only a general adoption in 1936 in a masters meeting in okinawa, where the shotokan founder was not present. At that meeting it was established Karate-Do! as the martial art - the way of empty hand

Actually Funakoshi was asked to change the Kanji by members of the Japanese military academies where he taught. He had a meeting with other karate sensei in 1932?
