Speed. Power. Precision. No wasted motion.
American Kenpo is known worldwide as a rapid-fire martial art—a system designed to overwhelm an attacker with a fast, explosive barrage of strikes, all delivered with surgical precision and constant flow.
Developed by Grandmaster Ed Parker, Kenpo focuses on speed over strength, efficiency over tradition, and science over superstition.
