A group of like-minded martial artists from different backgrounds and systems came together in Orlando, Florida to train and share knowledge with each other.

ents. Kenpo's practical approach to self defense is a great addition to any martial artist's tool box. It's in depth study of motion and empty hand technique for self defense offers students an opportunity to hone their empty-hand skills while also challenging them mentally to analyze various combat scenarios and develop logical solutions to various attacks. Kenpo translated means "fist law" or "law of the fist." While kenpo does utilize kicks, most kenpoists are known for the speed and accuracy of their hand strikes.

🚨ROOM RESERVATIONS🚨
The hotel threw us a curve ball. You can't just call them and get the discount by mentioning "ACKKS" any more. They now require you to book through a dedicated website in order to get the discounted price. It knocks over $80 a night off the bill, so I highly recommend it.
