If I remember correctly, Kenpo, was a japanese
art, founded by a Mr. Odo whom I actually met when
I was probably in 3rd grade. It is a very fast hand
moving, close combat fighting style. It's focus and
tactics were developed by a small sized man, whom
did not have the option of raw power to overcome
his opponents, and rather utilized quick, pressure
oriented strikes. This probably wasn't the best
thing for my parents to involve me in at such a
young age, because I applied it in school. :)

My longer studied art, Yoshukai, I picked up in
my early teens, and studied all through out
high-school. I think this was founding by a
japanese man also, named something like Kicho
Yamamoto, who also, I not only met but trained
with, which was very cool on both occassions.

This style is more of a powerful fighting style,
being it's founder was a much larger man. It is
very similiar to mui tai. There are full-contact
competitions held, called Kumite, which I used
to participate in succeedingly well. Probably my
favorite style I've studied under. I later gave
up martial arts for football, wrestling, boxing,
and later in highschool, chicks.

Now? No thanks, I had my share of physical stuff
in the army. Going for walks with my gf, and all the
other things that ecompass that wear me out enough.
