About United Kenpo Systems
About the Staff
United Kenpo Systems™ is based upon respect for the scientific, written work of Senior Grandmaster Ed Parker. The Art of Kenpo is a Living Art. It lives through its school, instructors and students. The principles inherent in the techniques, forms and sets are prescribed in a specific manner for both physical and mental progress. United Kenpo Systems™ welcomes all Kenpoists, encouraging them to enhance communication and their understanding of the Art by using the available standardized manuals.
From the President...
Kenpo Karate is a means by which we as students progress through our life’s journey with the
idea of self-improvement being a daily priority. We seek to bring a unity and understanding between our mental,
physical, emotional and spiritual selves. There are three primary areas in which every Kenpoist should strive for
improvement if they wish to achieve any degree of enlightenment through their art. The first is
academic knowledge of the historical, physical and physiological aspects of
American Kenpo. The second is to be able to physically perform their art to a degree that is at least indicative
of the rank they wear on their belt. The third, and most important aspect is to conduct oneself with honor and
integrity both on and off the mat. Honorable, moral, and
ethical conduct should be inherent in all of us as Martial
Artists. This is sometimes a difficult path, especially when mixing the business of our art with the art itself.
But by interacting and blending our energies with other honorable people, the journey is less arduous and much
more enjoyable. We of the U.K.S. strive to achieve exactly that - uniting honorable Kenpoists from around the country
and around the world to continue the mission that Mr. Parker started and that was to touch as many lives as possible
with this incredible Art of Kenpo.
Sincerely,
Bryan
