Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0 Riverside

The head instructor at Jeff Speakman's Kenpo 5.0 Riverside is Mr. Michael Grilli. Mr. Grilli has trained in American Kenpo for 15+ years. He currently trains in the 5.0 system under Mr. Dan Pribble, and Mr. Speakman himself. He also trains in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu at C-Quence Jiu-Jitsu, under Mr. John Munoz.

American Kenpo 5.0 is the hybrid of the last generation version of American Kenpo taught directly from Senior Grand Master Ed Parker to Jeff Speakman and ground fighting b...rought into the equation by several of Mr. Speakman’s students' training and experiences in modern MMA. It is important to recognize that this is not cage fighting but an expanding philosophy of Kenpo to produce the Kenpo ground system coupled with training drills and sparring techniques. It is modifying the existing 4.0 system while remaining completely within the combat models and thinking of American Kenpo to address the increasing and prevalent void of ground fighting in the Kenpo world, due to the evolution of MMA and the grappling arts.
