"To every move, principle, concept and theory, there is an opposite and a reverse."
Principles of motion
are the essence of American kenpo. They set it apart from all
other fighting systems. Mr Parker said " there's a difference between
a concept, a theory and a principle. A concept is an idea. A theory
is an idea that's still speculative. And a principle is a theory that
has been proven"
American kenpo's principles
have evolved; and are still evolving, much like other branches of science
or art. American kenpo is progressive. It improves over time, unlike
many traditional Asian fighting systems. Kenpo is more innovative than other
martial arts, "It moves with a person's body and is so versatile that it
teaches you how to fight in a phone booth or on a football field. What's
more, both hands move at the same time, and the art flows from one point
to the other.
Kenpo applies to our present time
and situation. Kenpo is tailored to the individual, "As Ed Parker always
said, we make the suit to fit you. We don't have a standard suit that we
make everybody wear, and as a consequence, we can all find our own little
niche in the art. Women don't have to be really strong to succeed in kenpo,
and men don't need great flexibility. The art is tailored to you.
