"The practice of kenpo is to advance with suitable speed to a certain clear cut objective, a person's entire strength concentrated in his fist or foot.  The flexing of the limbs and the bending of the body, by the use of various techniques, is also accomplished at a certain speed."

"When regarded as a systematic exercise, kenpo can be performed swiftly and vigorously without strain in moving the limbs.  The respiration and circulation becomes rapid; the regeneration of the body becomes active.  Even a short period of practice is beneficial." - - James M. Mitose, 21st Great Grandmaster of Kosho Shorei Ryu Kenpo Karate.

The Tracy System of Kenpo is the world’s largest and oldest system of Original Kenpo.  In 1962, after training and teaching under world renowned American Kenpo Grandmaster Ed Parker, the Tracy Brothers were given control of the Kenpo Karate Association of America.  The Tracy’s created the original karate belt system, introduced private lessons at group rates, created the sport of kickboxing, and integrated Tai Chi and Kenpo with the “Kenpo for Self Defense – Tai Chi for Life” Program.   

Today, masters of the Tracy System are sought out to teach seminars on a wide variety of topics, from self defense and kata training, pressure point fighting, healing and restorative massage, kicking, and Shootfighting. 
   
"Kenpo training is not so much memorization of a set group of techniques as it is training the mind and body to react, with finality to threats from all angles and levels of hazard. Certain blocks and counters are effective against a variety of threats and are taught as building blocks...not as fixed responses...that allow the mind and body to respond automatically to any perceived threat." - Mills Crenshaw, pioneer of American Kenpo
