seersin Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 It's hard to track directly,because of so many different Kenpo/Kempos,But ive heard and read that it originated in China,but I've also heard that it originated in Okinawa,needless to say there are Japanese/Okinawan Kenpos and their are chinese versions.

Karate-addict Posted February 12, 2005 Share Posted February 12, 2005 If you read the kanji of Chuan fa in japanese you get Kem po. It's just another word to use instead of Karate. Ryukyu kempo or okinawan karate same package different wraping. hara wo neru Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uchinadi Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 Friends: Quanfa (Chuan Fa, Gongfu) in japanese is say Ken Po. In languaje spanish is read as Kempo to gramatical law. In the USA the word Kenpo is used to syles of Edmund Parker and Kempo to styles japanese, but this are a conventionality. Some years ago this conventionality are extend across world.

Red J Posted February 13, 2005 Share Posted February 13, 2005 In the USA, most Kempo derivatives came through Hawaii. Check out the link in the 2nd post for a thorough explanation. I had to lose my mind to come to my senses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Law Of The Fist Posted February 15, 2005 Share Posted February 15, 2005 Kempo takes the linear attacks of karate with the circular motions of kung fu, and combines them. In self-defense, Kempo will use what method is best suited. It also features holds, grappels, and throws to varying degrees. I was taught it orginally came from Okinawa/Hawaii.
