'''Kenpo Karate''' Is a system of [[martial arts]] in America created by [[Ed Parker]]. Often you may see the word [[Karate]] used following [[Kenpo]]. Although [[Karate]] is an art all its own, it has no ties to [[Kenpo]]. Several martial arts instructors have placed them together for business reasons. The word [[Karate]] has become a generic term for all martial arts. For the layperson it would be incorrect to think these two highly awesome arts could harmonize together and function as one. [[Karate]] [[Concepts]], [[Principles]] and [[Ideas]] of movement are the complete opposites of [[Kenpo]].

==Kenpo Creed==

<blockquote> I come to you with only Karate, empty hands. I have no weapons, but should I be forced to defend myself, my principles or my honor; should it be a matter of life or death, of right or wrong; then here are my weapons, Karate, my empty hands.</blockquote>
- Ed Parker -
