Actually, the two arts are very similar, differing only in detail. The word, Kenpo, describes the Chinese style of Karate, while the more modern term, Karate, best describes that system which is now practiced in Okinawa. Kenpo means "law of the fist" while Karate, its related technique, means "empty hand". "Empty hand" refers to the fact that no weapons are used. Instead, the hands, elbows, fingers, feet, knees and other parts of the body are developed and used as weapons. Senior Master of the Arts Ed Parker is known world wide as the father of American Kenpo. He was the founder and president of the International Kenpo Karate Association, and Ed Parker's Karate Studios. He is the father of American Karate having originated the first American version of Karate. He opened the first professional Karate studio in the United States in Pasadena, California in 1956. He has been featured in national and international magazines: Time, Look, Strength and Health, Show Business Illustrated, Iron Man, Action Karate, Black Belt, Karate Illustrated, Official Karate, Inside Kung-Fu, American Karate, and Karate/Kung-Fu Illustrated; in newspapers nation-wide; articles in the World Encyclopedia and many others. His contributions and innovations are endless, encompassing logic and reasoning not yet employed by others. His nearly four decades of experience, contributions, and endeavors establish him as the Master and Founder of our system, and the author of our training material.
