American Kenpo
American Kenpo , sometimes written as Kempo, is a martial art characterized by the use of quick hand strikes in rapid succession. The multitude of fast strikes has a dual purpose, perhaps overwhelming an opponent, while attempting to ensure that at least some strikes effectively hit their target, akin to a striking combination.
Originally codified by Ed Parker, American Kenpo is largely viewed and marketed as a self-defense system. Parker made significant modifications to the art throughout his life, introducing or changing principles, theories, and concepts of motion, as well as terminology. He left behind a large number of instructors who teach many different versions of American Kenpo, as Parker died before he named a single successor to his art.〔
==Etymology and nomenclature==
The word kenpō is originally a Japanese translation of the Chinese word "''quán fǎ''. Its widespread, cross-cultural adaptation has led to many divergent definitions of its exact meaning.
American Kenpo is often seen written as "American Ke''m''po", leading to some confusion over the term's pronunciation. However, both are pronounced as if they had an "m". Kenpo is an example of romanization, while kempo results either because of straightforward anglicization or as a result of applying Traditional Hepburn romanization,〔Hepburn romanization provides for the use of the letter "m" when ん precedes a labial consonant such as "p".〕 but failing to use a macron to indicate the long vowel.
