Tracy's Kenpo Mission Statement
To help preserve and pass on over 800 years of history, traditions, legacy and the true lineage of Kenpo. Our heritage has been preserved and passed down by the senior members of the "Yudanshakai" to each new generation of "disciples". The future of Kenpo is tied to our past. Kenpo's senior leaders with their years of knowledge and experience form the bridge between the old and what appears to be new. Ours is a heritage of "Bushido"; the "warrior spirit" - that has been preserved for over 800 years. For over 22 generations Kenpo was the closely guarded Martial Art System of one family. That system is now our heritage. It’s not what you take or gain from the art of Kenpo that will endure, it’s what you give back. It’s who you teach and what you teach that will form your legacy.
The family of Kenpo is no longer of just "one blood", but it is still one family. We all come from a common heritage. Kenpo's heritage has always been that of a true Martial Art System (Military Art) - (War Art!)
Kenpo will never be united under one name - one leader - one set of standards but we will remain united as one family by a common "Warrior Spirit!" This is an intangible that must be passed down from generation to generation! It has nothing to do with a belt rank or physical fighting ability. It has to do with "spirit", "attitude" and what you have given back to the system!
Where there is no "spirit” or if just one generation has lost it; there is nothing to pass on. Call it anything you like but it is not Kenpo. Motion becomes only motion, words become only words.
Old Zen saying; the finger pointing to the moon is not the moon!
May the family of Kenpo based styles remain united through the "Yudanshakai" and held together by the true "Fighting Spirit" that has always been the sign of the "Warrior!" Grandmaster Al Tracy |
