The Modern System of Kenpo Jiu-Jitsu IS
self-defense—it is not a sport.

It is not simply a plaything like the martial arts of too many systems and styles that
cannot actually be used in reality when you really need it—when your life is in danger.

Kenpo Karate is the oldest style of Kenpo being taught in the United States. It was created in 1949 by William K. S. Chow and taught by his student, Ed Parker, from 1956 to 1961; and, taught by the Tracy brothers from 1962 to the present.
