Kenpo Karate is an infusion of Japanese karate and Chinese Kung Fu martial arts. The word Kenpo in Japanese means “fist law” and the word karate in Japanese means “empty hands”. So in essence Kenpo Karate is a form of unarmed fighting illustrating the exemplary self defense mechanism. It started with the great Grandmaster James Mitose who taught it to William Chow and from whom it was picked up by Ed Parker and refined as the American Kenpo of these days. Several offshoots have sprung up from the original over the years but basically all the techniques maximize the force and effectiveness in an attack. There is a belt system representing the grades and levels of students; yellow, orange, purple, blue, green, 3rd class brown, 2nd class brown, 1st class brown, the black belt. The black belt has a degree system which starts at the 1st degree and goes all the way up to the 10th degree black belt which is reserved for the grandmasters only.
