Overview

I started with Tracy Kenpo under Grand master Tracy himself. After I had earned up to Blue belt, he asked me to train the lower belts. That was my beginning. I later earned my first degree black belt years later. I then met GrandMaster Ed Parker and trained at one of his studios till I also earned a black belt in American Kenpo.At 5'2, and slim, I've proven over the years that American Kenpo techniques and principles are effective. I've been attacked several times and I always defended and ended the attack with one strike or kick. This is always disheartening to students, because our techniques consists of five or more strikes and kicks to vital spots of the body, delivered all in seconds. But at the same time, I was always elated by how effected American Kenpo was, and is.I've named my art over the years as AKJ-Anerican Kenpo and here's why: I've made very minor changes in some of the standing techniques. Over the years I've added more joint locks. I have also created more double and single stick techniques and well as karambit techniques. We were not taught any ground techniques in my years of learning, and so I slowly developed my own 32 ground techniques. I then studied Canadian Jujitsu and was impressed, for the techniques, were created to get off the ground quickly. I then slowly built my get quick off the ground techniques to 53. There's no wrapping of legs around your opponent as in regular jujitsu. These are moves that even a female can use to quickly get off the ground. I have made a book with I believe nine of the best ones. I no longer care to take pictures, so I may put together a book of all the ground techniques, written with no pictures. Martial art students will understand most of what I will be describing for each technique and a regular person will understand maybe 30-50% of the techniques. I haven't decided if I will do that yet. Learn to defend yourself, because 95% of the time, no one will help you.Then again you can keep believing what 95% of people believe, That won't happen to me, just other people. Or I'm tough; I can take care of myself. Many victims have said these same words.Robert Mc Dowell7th degree black beltAKJ-American Kenpo
