Sam Pai Kenpo

The author wrote this book in 1982 to give his students a training manual to supplement their pursuit of the martial arts. This book served as a prototype for his training manuals which go from Orange Belt to 10th Degree Black Belt. It is a progression which builds from one level to the next. This revised edition of Sam Pai Kenpo is being released for historical purposes. Our system has gone through many revisions since I began in February 1966. When I started, there were no names for the self-defense techniques. The instructor just had to call out a right punch or push, and the student at that level would respond with the appropriate technique. This book follows the class protocol step by step, so it will feel like you are attending an actual class in the Dojo. Of course, a book can only take you so far and you are encouraged to find a qualified Kenpo instructor and attend their school for further instruction.
