Kempo has a lot of weird terms in it, so we established a glossary a while back. Well, Kenpo, especially American Kenpo / EPAK has an even more daunting array of terms. Each named technique follows a very particular terminology indicating the type of attack, and giving a clue to the defense. Some are pretty straight forward (twin kimono = two handed lapel grab) while others aren’t. Several folks have set up explanations like this so you may want to bookmark them. First is Kenpomachines glossary, which is pretty comprehensive, but in case they missed any, the kenponet has another glossary of more general kenpo terms. It might be a good idea to bookmark them so you can quickly look up what your EPAK friends are talking about.

Ages ago I promised to review this book. I initially purchased it because the subject had a tangential connection with Motobu Choki (and the book has a brief mention of James Mitose). The review is up, and if you are in the market for the book, purchasing it through the the little ad in the post helps support Kempoinfo.com.
