In a nut-shell, what is Kenpo/Kempo? By geocad - Tue, 24 Jul 2007 22:27:18 GMT

=========

I'm interested in finding out what Kenpo/Kempo is. That is, how does it compare to other styles?

I trained Hwa Rang Do during college (waayyy coool MA), wrestled in HS, did a little MT (in Mexico of all places) one summer, and am now in TKD and starting up with Judo again (tonight!). My TKD instructors also mixes in Hopkido on the Saturday classes.

I'm interested because, well, I'm curious to know about other styles of MAs and I want something that is really well rounded for me and my kids. Are there weapons training? Grappling? Is it sport oriented or is there a lot of Asian tradition? What are the reputable federations or associations? Did you convert from some other system and if so, why?

I know I can look it up on WIKI or something like that but I would like to hear from first hand practitioners.

Many thanks!!
