  American Kenpo is a system of Martial Arts created by Ed Parker,characterized by the use of quick hand moves in rapid fire succession intended to overwhelm an opponent. It is largely marketed as a self-defense system, and is derived from traditional Southern Chinese Kung Fu and other martial arts found in the cultural melting pot of Hawaii. Parker introduced significant modifications in his art, including principles, theories, and concepts of motion as well as terminology.
