Babalu Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 Hello,I am an instructor at a local school. I have been in the Martial Arts for eleven years, and practicing Kempo avidly for almost seven years. I have my second dan test in six days (yaaaay). I was just wondering if anyone could give me the correct Japanese caricature for Kempo? I plan on getting a tattoo of it, but can not find this caricature anywhere online as well as having no luck with the local library. I've found the caricature for Karate, but not Kempo. I would greatly appreciate any help.Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patusai Posted April 3, 2006 Share Posted April 3, 2006 拳法 might be what you are looking for but in my search I have found a number of different variations. Maybe ask a higher ranking instructor for more direction "Don't tell me the sky's the limit because I have seen footprints on the moon!" -- Paul Brandt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jiffy Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 Wouldn't it be better to get a chinese figure, considering Kempo is a chinese art? The mind is like a parachute, it only works when it's open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babalu Posted April 10, 2006 Author Share Posted April 10, 2006 Wouldn't it be better to get a chinese figure, considering Kempo is a chinese art?Well... If you want to get technical - Kempo is an Indian art as it was brought to Asia by a man from India.There are three primary types of Kempo. Those being Japanese Kempo, Chinese Kempo, and Okinawan Kempo. And if you wanted to be super technical you could throw in Hawaiin Kempo and American Kempo.The art I do is American Kempo, but mostly based off of Japanese Kempo.
