February 11, 200521 yr Here is a link to a page that can offer some explanation. Feel free to ask any questions. http://www.urbin.net/EWW/MA/KF/ I had to lose my mind to come to my senses.
February 11, 200521 yr Kempo is a style of karate just like stotokan,for some it belived to be the closses one to the original karate from okinawa.Rought and tought they fight with bear hands and feet. I don't train for belt color I train to survive on the street
February 11, 200521 yr Author thank you kataman for the explanation. Kempo must be nice. I wish I could at least see a kempo class, but I dont have that syle near me.
February 12, 200521 yr 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. ISAIAH 53:5
February 12, 200521 yr 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
February 13, 200521 yr 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.
February 13, 200521 yr 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.
February 15, 200521 yr 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.
