What is Origins and Evolution of Kenpo Karate about?
Kenpo karate originated in India and China thousands of years ago and was introduced to Okinawa by the Buddhist monk Daruma in the 500s AD. In Okinawa, it was practiced secretly due to weapons bans and came to be known as te or karate. In the early 20th century, karate spread from Okinawa to Japan and the rest of the world through martial artists like Gichin Funakoshi and Ed Parker. Kenpo karate continues to evolve and spread internationally today through organizations like the WKKA.
