Kempo or kenpo is the name of several Japanese martial arts. Kempo is firmly undogmatic, and as such its techniques vary depending upon the preference of the practitioner and the instructor.
It is a generic term for martial arts. Jujutsu, karate, kung fu...are all generic terms for multiple styles and systems.
Its generally a hand technique system, with few kicks, and when they do kick, its usually below the belt: 70 percent hands and 30 percent feet.
Moreover, this teaching allows a person to not only master the martial arts, but also to find a way to merge the soul of a man and the universe. The practice allows one to purchase the harmony in the relations between the cosmos and human.
