Hello,
Late reply, perhaps.
New to the program here...

I am primarily a Tracy's Kenpo practitioner, since the very late 60's.
Had 10 years Kosho-Ryu Kempo (Juchnik system) training.
Have been practicing American Kenpo, for the most part, since 2001.

Just enough different "Ken/mpo's" to really muddy the stream. Well, at least the stream is still running. As of this post, anyway. :)

Thank you,
Milt G.

Just saw this one pop up . . .

American Kenpo (Ed Parker)

Shaolin Kempo (Villari) - which wasn't an option, as the poll listed Shaolin Kenpo which is from Mr. Ralph Castro.

So many more posts though . . . I got used to coming in and replying to all the posts on KT before I even grab my coffee! Now, I'm trying to keep myself from reading everything over here - I have SOME work to do!!!

Thanks Carol!!

I read EVERYTHING on KT though . . . I have to be careful on MT here though. I can only read so many TKD threads per day. Otherwise my head explodes . . .

NEw here, but am on martialartsplanet, and kempotalk.com, and kempoinfo.com

My main style is Nick Cerio/Shaolin Kempo with BJJ/Eskrima/Mua Thai/MMa all added in.
From San Diego, California, and my master is a 5th degree black belt, soon going for his 6th, and has been taking martial arts since he was almost 9.

i love ALL kempo!
I got into kempo, because:
#1 Speakman's perfect weapon(looked realistic on the streets, good flow.)

#2 Growing up, it was the art itself i saw that made "Street Sense" to me.
I grew up with a judo/Boxing/wrestling type of experiences.Kempo(yes EPAK too) became my drug.
Seriously!
Ask MArlon!
Anyhoo.
Enough rambling.Gotta practice.

I have been studying Mr. Parker's Kenpo for 11 years, I have also studied some Chinese Kempo, and also some Tracey's Kenpo. But primarily I study Parker's American Kenpo.

I recently started studying American Kenpo, so although not new to martial arts in general (been studying martial arts since 2000), I'm still relatively new (3 months new) to Kenpo :)

are you studying with Mr. Mills directly? I've heard that he is in Wyoming, but his website didn't indicate that he has an active school? I'm in Colorado close to the Wyo border, also studying AK from a 1st gen.

No sir, I study under one of his BB's. I as I understand it, there are two active schools in Wyoming, and one in Colorado. I can get you their contact info, if you're interested.

I believe Mr. Mills teaches only at AKKI regional camps, local camps, and active school visits.

I would like very much for info if it's handy. I'm interested to meet other Kenpoists and learn how they express their art.

Is it possible to change your vote? I don't think so :/

I was tracing back the lineage of my master's studies...

Bill Grossman -> Rick Alemany -> Ralph Castro -> Ed Parker

And well Ralph Castro = Shaolin Kenpo, so I think I should have actually answered that instead of EPAK. Woops.

This is from the old list I have. Give them a try. If they don't work, let me know, and I'll follow up with my instructor.
