FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTION'S 1. What's the difference between KeNpo and KeMpo ? This is an easy one... the spelling. its spelled with an "N" but pronounced with an "M".
Here is where the mix up begins. The following additional transliteration
rules are taken from the official recommendations: States just the opposite. Here is what Webster ways: An N
occurring before b, m, and p changes to an M in sound and is so
written when romanized; ie., shin-bun=shimbun (newspaper) shin-pai=shimpai (worry) an+ma=amma
(massage) Who is right? Webster or the Japanese! Remember Webster
did not develop the Japanese Romaji system. (sections of the information taken from Tracy Karate website) so the problem came from a mistranslation.... as for the different styles.....in short... it started in china then
to Japan (where it became the kenpo that most styles practice.) the
Mitose family brought it to Hawaii. From there look in the history
section. 3. Why do you where Black Gi's where others wear
White Gi's? Black is Kenpo traditional color. it signifies Death ! Kenpo was
designed for WAR !!! it's a Killing art. (now that I scared parents
reading this your child will be taught how to defend themselves and when
to use it.)

Parker was Originally taught and what all other kenpo/kempo systems came
from. for those that like or want to argue this fact.... Do you homework and look it up.... I'm right, Your wrong,
PERIOD..... 5. Do you teach any age? No. the minimum age is 5/6. we do not teach kids under that age.
under that age is a DAYCARE NOT A KARATE SCHOOL.... 6. Can kids earn a black belt or degree black belt
in your school?
We have junior Black Belts for
children under the age of 15. We feel that the children do not have the
maturity to handle the responsibility of an adult black belt. children
must be at least the age of 15 to have an adult black belt, and the age
16 to have the title or rank of Shodan (1st degree Black Belt). those school that issue those belts to minors, should then, make those
student compete with adults in tournaments that have that rank. those
schools disgrace and dishonor the rank of black belt.... I heard of an
instructor that has bragging rights to the youngest 1st degree
Black Belt at the age of 8.... let's put that kid with real Black belts,
heck let's put that kid up against my Junior Black Belts, then
beat his instructor with that Belt.... Shame to That instructor... 7. When is it a good time to start training? Do you
have beginners sessions? Right now!!! It is so easy to make up an excuse to start later. all our
group classes are geared to train, help and adjust to all levels. you
will train with different skill levels, strengths, sizes. your private
lesson will accommodate your busy schedule, focus on trouble areas, and
continue to develop your strengths.
