I take the comment of it being a valid art well said. pricing I cant say i know what i pay is much less than all the schools around the area for more time in the school. the history as far as i am concerned starts with Da' Shifu Sr. if the comment about the dance studio is true. I commend the family on being able to make it into martial arts. But the kenpo aspect of the art is in the techniques, they were used as a vehicle only, the names may be the same but the movement and weapons are used totally different. I wasnt alive in the 40's and events in ones life i wasnt apart of i have to take as truth since i cant disprove them with a solid foundation of evidence. I know what i learn works and honestly that is all i need to know. We are taught under a guidance and standard that is held throughout our training. If we cant meet those standards we dont pass. For those that wish to learn more about what we teach, they are more than welcome to visit a school and ask questions. Salute,
