PKKS Affiliation Systems Kenpo 5.0

What is Kenpo 5.0?

American Kenpo version 5.0 is the hybrid of the last generation version of American Kenpo

taught directly from Senior Grand Master Ed Parker to Jeff Speakman and ground fighting

brought into the equation by Mr. Speakman’s senior student Trever Sherman. Mr. Sherman

has brought this type of combat back to Kenpo so he and Mr. Speakman could create Kenpo

answers to defending against an opponent with these skills in the street.

It is modifying the existing 4.0 system while remaining completely within the combat models

and thinking of American Kenpo to address this increasing and prevalent void in the Kenpo

world. By keeping within these models of Kenpo we have been able to develop a system

combining the best of these two worlds to give our students the maximum ability to deal with

the very real possibilities of becoming involved in these kinds of altercations.

In addition it allows us to continue to develop ourselves within the mind-body-spirit paradigm

of a true martial spirit to reach a higher level of individual performance and sustained excellence

and therefore strengthening the group as a whole.
