In Japanese martial arts, kenpō is used to designate Chinese martial arts, (much as the term kung fu is used in English-speaking countries), koryu jujutsu styles as well as several gendai budo such as Shorinji Kempo, Kenpo kai and Nippon Kempo. The "m" romanization is often preferred when describing such arts in a Japanese context to avoid confusion with terms romanized as "kenpō" in the government of Japan and some forms of kenjutsu, such as that practiced within the Bujinkan. The various arts that are called kenpō or kempo in Japan do not necessarily share any lineage, theory or technical corpus.
Can anyone expand on this? Give some examples of Japanese Kempo styles, etc? Theres a bit more in Martialpedia but it'd be nice to freshen and expand the entry a bit.
