Kenpo vs. other Styles and why it’s effective.
Kenpo
is really the best of all worlds. Its a sophisticated system that has
strikes, throws, pressure points, Jujitsu, and is designed to deal with
single or multiple attackers. It utilizes speed, power, and pin point
striking to overwhelm an attackers senses. It does all this in a blend
of hard and soft styles that are both Chinese and Japanese in origin.
For those of you unfamiliar with Martial Arts nomenclature, the terms
hard and soft have several meanings. A hard style tends to engage an
attacker from a greater distance and have more linear strikes. A soft
style tends to engage closer to the opponent and often utilizes more
flowing circular techniques. In the true principles of Yin and Yang,
the most effective style should have elements of both so that a person
can adapt to all manner of situations.
Kenpo-the best martial art for your body!
Our
teacher spent nearly four decades refining his unique style of Kenpo
Karate to be more effective and incorporate proper body mechanics. He
learned the hard way that the vast majority of martial artists have
little or no knowledge of kinesiology or sports fitness. He spent
years working with doctors and exercise physiologists in order to
update the entire system. This means that the moves are more effective
and work with your body to promote long term health and fitness.
