HistoryThe exoct history of Kenpo hos been lost in the ontiquity of time, ond

consequently no definile dote con be esloblished os to when it ocluollybegon, Mony if the records lhot exist todoy ore obscure ond inconect, WEconnot iell how mony wrilings hove been destroyed or how mony develop-ments hove never been recorded. Bils of informolion seem to indicoie thotKenpo, os it is known todoy, moy hove been procliced in lndio ond Chino oslong os five thousond yeors ogo. writings on turile shells lell us thoi theChinese did in foct proctice the ort os for bock os 2l B.C.

Although its lrue origin is obscure, o populor slory thoi prevoils gives creditio the lndion priest, Dorumo or Bodhidhormo in oboul S2S A.D. However,other greot men such os Hu'o To ,190-265 A.D.), o brilliont doctor, ond yuenFei, o populor generol (who lived duringthe Sung Dynosty 960-1279 A.D.) oreconsidered lhe forefolhers of modern-doy Kenpo. Kenpo meons .fist low, (oterm used by the Okinowons lo describe the Chinese systems). From Chino,it crossed over lo Okinowq where, known os 'le', it consisted primorily ofblows, chops ond rips with lhe honds ond fingers. Thus originoiedthe Koiolemelhod of Kenpo.

ln 1923 lhe Okinowons chonged the chorocler of Korote,which wos ihenChinese to thot of o Joponese chorocter. Thus the meoning chonged from'honds of Chino to 'empiy hqnd'. This chonge ossuredly broughi obout odeeper meoning in which ihe spirituol overcome lhe physicol.

From Okinowo two experts, Kenwo Mobuni ond Gichen Funokoshi, liftedthe veil of secrecy in I 9l 5 to introduce their techniques to Jopon. Their oimwos not to promoie korote os o mortiol ort, but os o sport throughout Jopon.

Long before ihe Art wos ever inlroduced lo Okinowo, mony styles of theArt existed in chino. Eoch style or syslem wos noted for ol leosl one distinclfeot such os the development of thetigerclow, butierfly kick, ponlher punch,eic. ln oddition, mony members of lhe vorious systems guorded their secretwoys of troining. Among lhe systems of Southern Chino slemming from lheShoolin or Shorinji Temple the most well known were lhe following five: Hung,Liu, Ts'oior Choy in Contonese, Li, ond Mo. There ore other Contonese os wellos northern systems. The northern systems ploced greoi emphosis on floorrolling, use of lhe foot. ond jumping movements. Becouse of this, nol os muchemphosis wos ploced on sirong slonces, The soulhern styles ploced greotemphosis on stonce work os well qs hond work.

There ore bosicolly five known sfyles of korole in Okinowo Koboy-oshi-Ryu, Shoreiji-Ryu, Shilo-Ryu, Goju-Ryu, ond Uechi-Ryu.

ln lhe lost five decodes since lhe Joponese took il up,lhe lechniques hovebeen modified so thot ihey loo cloim styles of lheir own such os: Shoto-Kon,Woddo-Ryu, Chilo-Ryu, qnd others.

The Koreons hove olso modified lheir techniques cloiming such styles os:Toe-kwon-do, Moo-do-kwon, Tong-soo-do, ond oihers.

HistoryRegordless of notionol modificotion thol were developed ond suited lo

their individuol environment, we con soy thot four systems exist in the orienttodoy - Chinese. Okinowon, Koreon, ond Joponese.

ln comporison, ihe Chinese styles ore groceful, flowing, circulor, ond oremuch more flexible thon lhe Joponese styles (which utilize powerful punchesond kicks), Okinowon styles (which stress breolhing exercises), ond Koreon(which speciolize in high kicks ond lhe breoking of boords ond bricks) Theseolher siyles ore bosicolly rigid.

Unfortunolely, mony of lhe clossicol Chinese styles olong with the Jopo-nese, Okinowqn, ond Koreon styles ore improcticol os o modern meons ofself-defense. This stems from the foct ihot mony of lhese systems wereoriginollydesignedforexercise. lnoddition,mostofthesestylestodoydonotrecognize the need for chonge, especiolly in our environment. While someoffer excellent ideos on unormed fighting, o number of their methods oreoutdotedtheoriesunfitforpresent doyfighting inlhe United Slotesoronyportof the world for thot motter.

These some orts, influenced by the Chinese, were brought lo ihe Howoiionlslonds. lt wqs here thot Mr. Porker, o nolive of Howoii, leorned lhese ortsunder one of lhe world's leoding Block Belt holders ond Americon innovqtorsof the ort, the lote Professor Williom K.S. Chow.

ln oddition to Professor Chow's modificotions, Mr. Porker hos olso reolizedlhe need lo revise lhe old meihods lo cope with modern doy fighling. Thuslhe syslem he now teoches is unique, proclicol, reolistic, opplicoble, ondencomposses sound logic, reosoning, ond theoreticol innovotions nol yetemployed by olher systems. Through Mr. Porker's innovotions o fifth systemhos emerged- lhe Americon System-to be more specific 'The Porker Systemof Kenpo'.

Although we should respect lhe vorious styles of Kenpo slemming from lheOrienl, we must nol overlook theh need for improvemeni. While Mr. Porke/ssyslem still retoins lrodilionol flovor to enhonce elhicol behovior, it hos beendesigned to fit the needs ond obility of lhe individuol concerned.

We should be groteful for Mr. Porker's unending contribulions ond proudond privileged thot we hove his creotive knowledge lo guide us in keepingobreosl with updoted developmenls.

During the period of the Shoolin in the Ch'ing Dynosty, the meoning oflhe geslure chonged when two oddilionol movements were odded. Thechongewoslhotthe left hond representedthe sum,the righthond lhe moon.Wilh this chonge, the combinotion of sun ond moon represenledthe Chinese chorocler Ming, thus meoning revolutionory defenders forlhecouse of lhe Ming resforolion. The two oddilionol movements whichwere odded lo the sun ond lhe moon were formed by plocing lhe bockof the honds togelher wilh both polms out. The fingers ol this point were ino clow-like-foshion ond roised lo the chest ond heort. This gesturemeont, 'We ore ogoinst foreign dominotion ond our heorts ore for lhereol Chino.' The lost movement wos lo clench both honds ond drow lhemto the sides of lhe woist. This pulling geslure meont, 'By pulling ondworking together we con toke our counlry bock.' These movements wereperpetuoted by the Hungs, who were secret iried socielies in Chino. lnshort, 'Scholor ond wonior, united together, bock lo bock, pulling togelher,bock to bock, pulling logether, lo defend ogoinst the foreignintruders'.

The firsi port of the solutotion wos preserved in recognition ond respecl tolhe troditions set forlh by the Chinese. The concluding portion of lhesolulqlion wos odded to tie in the heritoge of lhe 'old' with the logic of the'new' ond innovolive fighling ort. Thus, the second pori of the SALU-TATION inlerprets os:

3. Now thot I om being forced to use my weopon to momentorilybecome on onimol. I proy for forgiveness for whot I om oboul todo. (Both honds ore ploced togelher os if proying.)
