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.
