Kenpo defined is the art of striking vital points of the body. Actually, Chinese Kenpo utilizes punching, striking, kicking, throwing, & locking skills. Using the hands 70% of the time and the feet 30%. You will also find that the punching/striking/kicking skills are used 80% of the time and the throwing and locking skills about 20%. Tracy's Kenpo traces it's lineage to the late Great-Grandmaster James Mitose and William Chow. The foundation art in which late Grandmaster Ed Parker, Chow's student, built his reputation and the template on which Kajukenbo Founder Adriano Emperado, also Chow's student, organized his method. This form of Kenpo is one of the most proven methods of self-defense, BAR NONE! A direct student of Parker, Grandmaster Al Tracy reorganized the unaltered original self-defense techniques, added supplemental material and by doing so developed the most popular method of Kenpo in the western hemisphere today.
