Kenpo — sometimes kempo, depending on who taught you and when — translates, more or less, as "law of the fist."
It's a yarn about a martial art that's spent four hundred years getting punched, reshaped, exported, imported, sued, and slandered, and somehow, through all of it, stayed genuinely useful to the people who take it seriously.
Pour some tea, or something stronger. Here's how we got from a Chinese monastery that may or may not have taught kung fu to a strip mall in Pasadena that absolutely did.
And Where It Came From:
This is his wild, mostly true history of an art named after a law nobody can quite agree on, or enforce.
The techniques described in this book are intended solely for lawful self-defense, educational study, and supervised training. Martial arts training involves inherent risks of serious injury or death. Practice responsibly, use appropriate safety equipment, and train under qualified instruction whenever possible.
Mike Frazier has studied Eastern and Western styles of martial arts for more than 35 years, earning black belt ranks in karate, ninjutsu and jujutsu. He is a recognized master instructor with Shinja Martial Arts University and Dojo Academy of Martial Arts.
