Kenpo Karate is an ancient Chinese martial art brought to the United States from Hawaii in 1967 by the late Grand Master Ed Parker.  Master Parker developed the modern Kenpo style by analyzing combative predicaments from the viewpoints of the attacker, the defender, and the bystander or spectator.  Through his observations, Master Parker disproved many theories and concepts that had previously been considered as combat effective.

Ed Parker systemized and categorized all the basis Kenpo elements into a logical order of progress for step-by-step instruction.  Kenpo Karate utilizes the movementdsfjksdjfs of the dragon and tiger creating a combination that mixes strength and intelligence.  This innovative structure made the martial arts much easier to learn, understand and master.
