Kenpo Stylists

[Greggers69]

Yes American Kenpo thru the AKKI. :asian:

 

[Mark L]

My instructor emphasizes three areas:
1) Cerio's kempo plus Kara-Ho forms and line techniques
2) BJJ
3) Ppressure point applications to 1 and 2

I take tracys, but have nothing against the EPAK guys, if it had been around here i would have checked out both schools. I have no other choice here, within 15 miles of my house there are (im not joking here i researched for 4 months before i settled on a school) 77 TKD schools, 5 Aikido schools, 1 Kuk sool won school, and 1 Tracy's kenpo school. I actually looked into kuksoolwon but that school wanted $300 a month for group only lessons, plus you were required to purchase theire GI to the tune of $125 which was basicallly a middle weight gi (not even a heavy) with an iron-on patch. So i settled on Tracy. So far its the best i can do.

I study a Kenpo curriculum that split from Parker & Tracy before they split from each other. It's not what Parker teaches today. Not what Tracy teaches today. Hard for me to answer the pole. Guess I'll just have to answer "other".

That's ok, close enough. I'll adopt you. From one good looking Kenpoist to another, Welcome!

Mr. Castillo: Thank you for your support on this and several other threads. I'm an opinionated SOB and can be a on-line trouble maker. But, my intention is always to get people to think outside of the box and be open to new arts, techniques, methods, and approaches.

Opinionated, eh? Fifty pushups, now!& no back talk!

 

[nahkohewalker]

EPAK ALL THE WAY

 

[Touch Of Death]

I'm an other with a strong American Kenpo background. I can attack and defend any system in the same breath. I'll even go to task on the semantics of a word. I will try to offend as few people as possible if possible. Tabula Rosa to the end.

 

[yamabushi]

I am a student of Mr. Bill Packer who was a student of the late Mr. Tomas Connor. I voted as an "other."

TRAITOR! (Just teasing) . How long were you with Tracys, and who was your instructor? Where you located at?

Thanks:asian:

 

[Shodan]

I started with Ed Parker's American Kenpo and have never been able to find anything I like better!! Still a Parkerist here!! :asian: :karate:

 

[Ukideshi]

Not to ruffle feathers further, but, where do Grandmaster Chow and Grandmaster Mitose fit in under Shaolin Kempo. As I understood, they played a large part of the bringing of the art to the US by way of Hawaii.

 

[rmcrobertson]

Think of Shaolin as a great grand-uncle, and why are you posting this in several places? maybe it's just me, but I get the feeling that you might want to ask what you're really asking...

 

[Sergio Jódar]

Ed parker´s American Kenpo. I think all the Kenpo systems are great, but EPAK is more sophysticated.

 

[8253]
