Mistassailant5 Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Hey guys. I have been practicing Shaolin Kung Fu, Muay Thai, and Aikido solely by myself through the use of books and videos for the past three years. But soon I am going to join a Kempo school so it would be greatly appreciated if anyone can post stuff on technique, forms, or just any advice in general. Thanks guys. I am not a fighter, I am a guardian.
Toptomcat Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 Well, to begin with as far as I know there aren't any kempo systems with origins in Korean martial arts, so you would probably be better off posting this in another forum.
Mistassailant5 Posted May 13, 2010 Author Posted May 13, 2010 Really, I always thought that kempo originated from Korea. Woopsie, . I guess it must be Chinese origins then, my bad. I am not a fighter, I am a guardian.
Toptomcat Posted May 13, 2010 Posted May 13, 2010 China, Japan, or Hawaii depending on which system identified as 'kempo' you're talking about
Mistassailant5 Posted May 28, 2010 Author Posted May 28, 2010 Americanized with Chinese influence I believe I am not a fighter, I am a guardian.

lit-arate Posted January 9, 2011 Posted January 9, 2011 American kenpo? There's a rather marked difference between American kenpo and Chinese kempo, as far as I understand it.

Tzu-Logic Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 American kenpo? There's a rather marked difference between American kenpo and Chinese kempo, as far as I understand it.I think you are right. I know some kempo techniques and they are very fluid and "kung-fuish".

Adonis Posted April 5, 2011 Posted April 5, 2011 Could be Shaolin Kempo which is an americanized system made up with parts of diffrent styles in it. Most notable ones are Villari's, Nick Ciero's, and United Studios of Self Defense (USSD)
