Introduction to Chuan Fa Kenpo
Chuan Fa Kenpo is a system of practical and modern self-defense designed to offer the student a realistic training regimen that combines blocking, striking, kicking, throwing, and control techniques for defense against commonly occurring self defense situations without the fear of being injured. Kenpo is not a system of sport designed for points or trophies rather it is known throughout the world as a self defense oriented style that incorporates rapid punches and kicks in succession to devastating effect.
Students find the classes challenging both physically and mentally as they work toward the rank of Black Belt. Nothing in life that is of substance is achieved without much effort and Chuan Fa Kenpo is an art for self disciplined and determined people who enjoy being challenged. Chuan Fa is a Chinese term that means to grasp the laws of nature and use them in a learned way. This philosophy lies at the heart of the system and is the foundation of the art.
The original founders of Kenpo combined the most effective techniques of Karate, Kung Fu, Jujitsu, Boxing and Escrima into a self defense system that is adaptable and applicable to any situation. The lineage of Chuan Fa Kenpo can be traced back to the Kajukenbo and CHA3 Kenpo schools of Hawaii in the 1940’s and further back 2,000 years following the history of the founding disciplines. Chuan Fa Kenpo has been compared to other arts like Krav Maga and Jujitsu because of its use of leverage and economy of motion to achieve its results. However, Chuan Fa Kenpo is unique from other styles in the way that it is applied in theory and practice. Practitioners learn to apply ancient martial principles to achieve success in modern times.
