What
is Kenpo Karate?
Kempo is a term used to refer to a wide
variety of martial arts, and is sometimes used as a blanket term for
martial arts in general, especially in East Asia. Kempo is a Japanese
translation of the Chinese word "quánfa" (or ch'üan2
fa3), meaning "fist principles", "way of the fist",
or "law of the fist form".
In
the West, Kempo is mostly known as a mixed style that combines a heritage
in Chinese martial arts, especially Shaolin, with karate (and sometimes
called "Kenpo Karate"), often mixed with elements of other
Japanese arts like jujutsu and aikijujutsu.
In
Japan, Kempo can refer to a large number of different systems of martial
arts, mostly stemming from families in the feudal period—the term
Kempo being used as an abbreviation, since the names are long.
