At Middletown Kenpo, American Kenpo Karate is studied (Tracy system). Kenpo Karate is a fluid martial art, employing a verity of linear, powerful kicks and punches inherent to the “harder” martial styles as well as many flowing, circular movements inherent in many of the softer martial styles. A student of Kenpo also learns how to control opponents, using methods such as arm bars, knee checks, and some joint locks intrinsic to the martial art of aikido. It is due to its flexible and fluidic nature that Kenpo Karate is considered by many as the “art of arts” in the martial arts. American Kenpo Karate contains the influence of five cultures. Its ancient origins lie in Asia, its birth as a separate style occurred in Hawaii, and its definition was established in America by Ed Parker.
