Hi i used to take kenpo also allow me to give you findings.

Kenpo is a good art but it all depends on the instructor and how they teach. The first generation kenpo guys like Ed Parker, Larry Tatum etc etc were good fighters because well they fought hard when they trained. The concepts behind Kenpo on paper is good and i found it more realistic than most traditional arts. Once again it all depends on the instructor like with any arts. You have to sparr full contact. and also padding up and practicing the selfdefense moves full blast will help also. One thing most of the people on the forum have taught me its training method not styles. Ask the guys here who have trained a while.
