American Kenpo - 09/01/04 12:04 PM

I recently moved to a new city and there is an American Kenpo dojo right next to my home. It is a member of the AKKI. Can anyone give me any opinions on this particular martial art style? I primarily want to study an art that is going to be very effective in a real "fight". Thank you for your feedback.

Unlike the other styles of karate, American kenpo focuses more on different types of sparring, and not so much on kata, etc... It’s a good standing art and will help you in real fights, but when it comes to the ground, you’re in trouble as a kenpo man.
