The Art is Karate, the Style is Chinese, the System is Kenpo, the School is the Karate Connection. What is Chinese Kenpo Karate? Translated, the words "Kenpo Karate" mean, "Law of the Fist and Empty Hand". This is not high flying acrobatics. Kenpo was designed for close quarter combat. It employs low kicks to the lower body targets, while using circular and linear hand strikes to the head and upper body. Grandmaster Ed Parker said it best, "System of organized, scientific, dirty fighting". For more information and history of Kenpo, check out the IKCA Website Link below.

The TIGER represents earthly strength derived during the early stages of learning. This is the stage where the individual is more impressed with his own physical prowess.

The DRAGON represents spiritual strength which comes with seasoning. This mental attitude is attained during the individual's later years of training. It is placed above earthly strength since the individual at this stage has learned to develop humility and self-restraint. The attitude of the Dragon is the ultimate goal in KENPO.

What are the benefits of Kenpo Karate? There are many benefits, here are just a few. Learn self-defense, coordination, balance, respect, and self-discipline.
