The Kenpo Karate Compendium - The Forms and Sets of American Kenpo (Paperback)

Based on accepted works by 9th degree black belt, world-class instructor and competitor Lee Wedlake, this is the only resource on the details of the forms and sets of American Kenpo as prescribed by the "Father of American Karate," Ed Parker. With no other authors who have tackled the subject, this is a unique resource for those in Parker Kenpo and its offshoot systems. The Parker Kenpo system is taught worldwide and this reference has proven valuable to thousands of Kenpo practitioners in various lineages as well as acting as a stimulus for those who are interested in the art by providing a sense of the logical framework of Parker Kenpo, versus MMA style arts and karate picture books. Having collected the general rules of motion and the numerous fine points of Kenpo, the book is a standout in the genre.
- COMPREHENSIVE TREATMENT of the Kenpo Karate system provides a progression of teaching curricula for beginning, intermediate, and advanced students and instructors
- COVERS history, fundamentals, forms, solo and partner practice, and advanced technical skills
- INCLUDES over 450 black and white photos detailing forms and techniques
- SOMETHING FOR ALL STUDENTS, whether pursuing martial arts for health, competition, self-defense, or personal improvement
