Purpose

Our purpose in the A.K.K.I. is to continue to create, innovate and perpetuate the ever changing and fascinating art of American Kenpo. Our main focus is ensuring that our members have the highest level of proficiency and knowledge as possible. Once understanding the principles upon which Kenpo is based, our students will learn that American Kenpo is one of the most effective and efficient, complete self defense systems, as well as an art, because of it's implementation of scientific laws. Whenever there is doubt, each sequence of motion is questioned, analyzed, and defined by the guiding principles, laws, and disciplines of mathematics, physics, geometry, physiology, and kinesiology. They are then adopted and perfected to ensure sophistication in addition to elevating the student to unparalleled proficiency through innovation.

Goals

Our united goal is to elevate and innovate the art of American Kenpo Karate, making it better than when we found it. It is an International forum for all American Kenpo practitioners who have the desire to enhance their proficiency and knowledge in the street science of American Kenpo. Like other sciences, American Kenpo is in a constant state of upgrade. Times dictate change and progress and therefore Kenpo too must continuously be adapted to blend with the circumstances and times. We cannot afford to solve today's problems with yesterdays solutions. Increasing our knowledge is not enough, we must strive to understand what we have learned. To have knowledge of it is not the same as knowing it.
