The American Kenpo Karate System
American Kenpo Karate is an updated version of Kenpo based on practicality and logic developed by the late Edmund K. Parker, the "Father of American Karate." As Mr. Parker studied Kenpo in Hawaii, he was sensitive to the need for an updated approach to Martial Arts to combat the modern methods of steet fighting. Analyzing, interpreting, and experimenting, he discovered, modified, and developed concepts and principles that extend beyond tradition and revolutionized modern martial arts.
