21.01.2022 WHAT IS KEMPO? KEMPO means "The way of, or the law of the fist". In China it is known as Chuan-Fa, and is the most famous style in China today. KEMPOISTS believe it to be as close to the original martial art as was taught in India and the Shaolin Temple nearly 2000 years ago.... KEMPO has retained all the ingredients of the original style and is a perfect blend of the "Hard" side of martial arts [known as Karate] the "Soft" side [referred to as Gung Fu] and the "Internal" training with Chi Gung [Qi Gung] we also study the original CHEN style Tai Ch"i with all it"s self defence techniques. KEMPO also encompasses a very effective and comprehensive Self Defence syllabus, as well as traditional Martial Arts weaponry, both Chinese and Okinawan, such as---Nunchaku---Tonfa---Bo [Long Staff]---Short Staff--Yawarra---Spear---Broadsword---Sai---Tai Chi Sword WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN KEMPO AND KENPO? None at all. KEMPO spelt with a M is the original spelling using the English alphabet. KENPO spelt with the N is probably the more correct sounding of the Japanese word. However, it is interesting to see many Japanese authors use the spelling with the M. It would seem that the word Kempo/Kenpo is perhaps spelt with a M but pronounced with a N. KEMPO TRAINING includes Karate ----- Gung Fu ---- Self Defence Chuan Fa-----Weaponry [Okinawan & Chinese] Iron Hand -----------------------Wooden Man Tai Chi Chuan----Ch'i Gung---Inner Harmony
