    Kenpo or Kempo in Okinawa

    Hey Kenpo world. I'm moving to Okinawa next week. Anyone know of any Okinawan Kenpo dojos? I plan on moving to Hawaii in about 5 years to live and continue with the art long term.

    Z-Ultimate and United Studios of Self Defense

    I've been involved in this kempo/kenpo lineage for years now, but am not an insider, and apparently those of us who aren't are pretty in the dark about goings-on. I was away from USSD for some years in the Denver area, and when I came back, there was Z-Ultimate in its place. I'm aware of the...

    What do you want in a MA blog?

    What would you like to see in a martial art blog? I'm a professional physicist & also have been studying American Kenpo for nearly 15 years. What kinds of topics do you find lacking from other blogs that my profession could help with? I've been considering making short reads about principles...

    Mannequin Fighting

    Hi, everyone! I'm looking for suggestions on how to get quality training at a Kenpo school with students who tend to focus on techniques or spontaneous fighting where they turn into a statue. I've been training for quite a few years & very much enjoy the philosophies/lifestyle of the...

    Not sure on if this forum is active, but I need to choose between which Art to study

    I've done some research and I've decided I want to study Kenpo or Wing Chun and I need some help deciding, what are your guys/girls opinions? I've never studied a martial art before, but I became interested after hearing about Taekwondo, but soon lost interest and went in search of other martial...

    What inspires, motivates, and makes you passionate?

    I have been doing martial arts for approximately 14 years and have always been incredibly passionate about training and teaching. Over the past year it has been increasingly more difficult to bring the same passion to the dojo when I bow into classes. There are several factors including a busy...

    What'd your method of teaching the Dimensional Zone Theory? When?

    At what point do you teach the Dimensional Zone Theory to your students and how? Our school doesn't particularly have a point in time, specific technique, or form that we teach this concept. Same thing about the four quadrants. Thanks, Kenposcholar :)

    Snaking Talon in long form 4

    Question for the Parker Kenpoists, In long form 4 snaking talon is done differently than how we do it in the "standard" version. In the form we do an inward parry and place the other hand over your knee and then do the technique. The only information that I have found is that it has something to...

    Hello All, I've recently relocated to Boston from Austin, TX and am unfamiliar with the martial arts community in New England.

    One year...what should I do?

    Hi all, I have a dilemma and I'd love to have your input. I recently relocated, and I'm anxious to delve back in to martial arts. Problem is, I'm here for only a year, and then will be moving on. I really, really don't want to lose martial arts from my life, but making a "commitment" for just...
